Every year in March, music fans congregate in Austin, TX for the SXSW Music Conference. This year, Bridge Nine is proud to have four of our artists playing various showcases: Defeater, Death Before Dishonor, Ruiner and Strike Anywhere will all be performing at SXSW. Death Before Dishonor will be gracing the stage at East End Tattoo's ChronicYouth.com day party on Thursday before they make their way to San Antonio for their evening show on the Evergreen Terrace tour. On Friday, both Strike Anywhere and Ruiner will be playing in Austin - Strike will appear at Red 7 for the Shirts For A Cure Showcase and Defeater will be playing Emo's Annex at the New England Metal Fest Showcase. Ruiner will be appearing Saturday afternoon at the Alternative Press 100 Bands You Need to Know Showcase at Emo's Annex and again on Saturday evening at the Broken Neck in Austin alongside labelmates Defeater. Details are below - hope to see you there!

The Hundreds crew came out for one of the H2O west coast shows this weekend with the Cro-Mags, and put up a great write up about the show, Toby & the band on their blog. The Hundreds have had a long history with H2O, they even collaborated on a t-shirt together years ago, which may have been one of the first official band / street wear collaborations. Check it out HERE!

When it comes to New York Hardcore, one of the bands synonymous with the genre is UNDERDOG. UNDERDOG kicked off their legendary career in the mid-1980's but came to an early demise in 1989 upon their return from their first European tour. Fast forward 21 years and Bridge Nine Records is going to release a comprehensive UNDERDOG discography featuring both The Vanishing Point and Demos on CD and double LP - available together for the first time. Check out the new cover art and stay tuned for pre-order info!
Having already spent the winter months touring through Australia and Europe, Polar Bear Club is ready tour the states for the next four months. Tonight in Poughkeepsie, NY, PBC kicks off their first US jaunt of the year with the diverse lineup featuring Every Time I Die, Four Year Strong and Trapped Under Ice. The tour spans until April 6th when Polar Bear Club takes a short break before appearing at The Bamboozle New Jersey on May 2nd, prior to meeting up with Warped Tour for the month of June.
Also, in the coming weeks, Polar Bear Club's will debut the first video off of the 2009 release Chasing Hamburg. A conceptual piece not unlike the phenomenon of Peter Gabriel's 1986 "Sledgehammer" video, the video for "Living Saints" was directed by Thomas Colella and is unlike anything expected from a post-hardcore punk band. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the debut video from the band that has The Punk Site boldly stating, 'If this is the future of punk rock, we're in good hands."

Defeater is excited to announce a string of shows taking them from the East Coast down to Austin, TX for SXSW and back again starting next week. Fresh off a very well-received West Coast tour with All Teeth and Touche Amore, this will be Defeater's first SXSW appearance as they will play alongside Goatwhore at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival showcase at Emo's Annex on March 19th.
Lost Ground, released in November of 2009, has been incredibly well-received by press and fans alike. While their debut, Travels, was called “a new artistic peak for hardcore” by Punknews and “the perfect definition of modern hardcore” by Lambgoat), Lost Ground has already surpassed the critical acclaim Defeater has received thus far. Lost Ground continues the story from Defeater's debut album, Travels, and follows a man's journey from enlisting in the military to post-war life and the subsequent events that follow.
