This Is LA: A Benefit For the California Fires (Sunday, 2/2)
H2O "Faster Than The World" 25+ Year Re-Issue (Expanded 2xLP) Pre-Order NOW!
Bridge Nine is proud to re-issue H2O’s classic third album, Faster Than The World, on vinyl for the first time in twenty-five years! Originally released on Epitaph in 1999, this nineteen-song album has been expanded to include a 2nd LP featuring the band’s previously unreleased seventeen-song demo, which was produced by Tim Armstrong (Rancid) in 1998 and remastered by Paul Miner. H2O’s F.T.T.W. 2xLP lands in stores on February 28th, but you can pre-order two versions of it from Bridge Nine directly, today! Available on super-limited spatter vinyl (/200 copies) and this amazing-looking pinwheel vinyl (/550 copies):

Available in select record stores on February 28th:
Indie Store Exclusive (North America): 1 Red LP, 1 Blue LP / 750
Cargo (Europe): Red/Black/Blue, Green/Black/Yellow / 300
F.T.T.W. FUN FACT: In 1999 Bridge Nine was just four years old and had only four releases under its belt. Label founder Chris Wrenn's day job was working in the art department of Boston's Tower Records, so Chris cut the "3" cover logo out of foam core by hand and painted this four-foot-wide display to promote their third release for Epitaph Records!

Bridge Nine celebrated our first year open as a brick-and-mortar store on Saturday, September 9th! To help acknowledge the milestone, we invited one of our favorite bands, H2O, to perform in one of the most intimate settings that they’ve played in years.

Chris from Bridge Nine has been a fan of H2O since before he started the label. He even gave his college girlfriend a mixtape of H2O songs in 1996 of their demo and 7 inch! Having the opportunity to start working with the band back in 2007, and releasing the Nothing To Prove album, has been a highlight of the label.

To get the show started, Incendiary Device from NYC performed. The band features long-time B9 collaborator Drew Stone, and they have a full-length album in the works, look for it this fall on Bridge Nine!

Over the past 15 years, H2O and Bridge Nine have teamed up on 15 different releases, from new albums, singles, and re-issues of their earlier material. For this latest East Coast tour, they made our office the Boston-area stop on tour, and performed to the most intimate of audiences.

Everyone here at Bridge Nine would like to thank H2O, Incendiary Device, Larry Kelley, Chris Padgett, Jimmy the sound guy, and the many people who have come out and supported our live event series and our record store! We’d like to thank Liquid Death for keeping our guests hydrated. We’d also like to thank the people who helped document the night: Bill Fulkerson, Jason Zucco, Heather McGrath, Al Quint, Todd Pollock, Aaron RTTP, Dave Boccio & Dominic DiNardo. THANK YOU for your continued support. Excited to see what we can do in year two!

'This Is Hardcore' Celebrates Another Successful Fest After 2-Year Pandemic Hiatus
Congratulations are in order for Joe Hardcore and the This Is Hardcore team on another successful festival. This Is Hardcore Fest takes place in Philadelphia each year and kicked off on Thursday, July 7th with a headlining set from H2O. The days that followed included sets by Section H8, End It, Hatebreed, Madball, Comeback Kid, Terror and culminated on Sunday evening with Thursday performing Full Collapse in its entirety (pictured above, photo by Wass Photography). We wish we could have been there, especially since it was the first fest since 2019, but we are all hands on deck working to finish the Bridge Nine space here in Beverly, MA. We hope to see everyone at This Is Hardcore Fest next year!
