The First Dance is the debut studio album by the indie folk band Bridezilla.
The album was released on 6 November 2009 in Australia. There are fourteen tracks on the album, with a fifteenth bonus track available on iTunes. It was produced and engineered by Kramer (musician).
The album garnered mostly positive reviews. The AU Review talks of their unique sound – "a sultry mix of folk inspired rock and roll, The First Dance is gentle but strong, holding an understated power, a subtle strength that many bands lack".[2] Mac Easton at Soulshine speaks favourably, "The First Dance is a musical moment to be absolutely savoured."[3] "The album – anything but raucous – lures the listener to the same state felt on a relaxed yet contemplative summer's afternoon," says Drone Magazine.[4]
