American War Machine’s new album ‘Unholy War’ is streaming in its entirety via Decibel Magazine. “Unholy War is a peerlessly constructed, viciously executed slab of roots-heavy punk hardcore leavened with Discharge-style maelstroms, snarling Motorhead damn-the-torpedos drive, and old school Sick of it All edge-of-control riffage.”
‘Unholy War’ hits stores this Friday. Grab a copy now in the B9Store.
Check out the new video for “Unholy War” directed and edited by Johnny Hagglund below:

After a national tour with Dashboard Confessional in 2018, Beach Slang’s James Alex teases new original music to come with the announcement of a covers EP titled 'MPLS' alongside the release of single “I Hate Alternative Rock” (Bob Mould cover) today via New Noise Magazine. Dubbed as a ‘thank you’ to Minneapolis, the EP was produced by Goo Goo Dolls bassist, Robby Takac and will be released March 15th on Quiet Panic through Bridge Nine Records. Pre-order the EP HERE.
"This is the spot where my favorite rock & roll found its snot, where the tossed-away found a place to get untossed. […] It felt like the right way to tell a whole city ‘thanks for showing me the way,” explains James Alex. “Westerberg taught me how to write with defiance and tenderness, how to be a dope and a poet. Husker Du showed me how to make it all loud as hell."
They’ve kept quiet for the past couple of years but Virginia’s Strike Anywhere will be touching down for a run of shows in June/July, their first visit since the 2012 tour with Anti-Flag and the Flatliners.
But quiet doesn’t necessarily mean idle; in a recent interview with Dying Scene, lead singer Thomas Barnett let us know the band have “a bunch of different little demos and pre-demos and song ideas and fully-developed songs by the dozen”. The only thing holding them back?
“It’s just a question of getting everyone together… We’re still a very active band creatively and personally, it’s just that the timeline is stretched out.”
Fingers crossed this new material will form the bones of first new Strike Anywhere release since 2012’s Live at the Montage Music Hall, and the first new material since 2009’s Iron Front, marked by their label, Massachusetts’ Bridge Nine Records as their most emotionally and politically charged album to date.
Presented by Arrest Records, this 2019 tour will see Strike Anywhere celebrating 20 years of melodic-hardcore breakdowns and hand-on-your-heart scream-alongs. Joining them from Newcastle and on will be Adelaide’s Paper Arms, playing their first shows since they announced their final one back in 2016. Paper Arms and Strike Anywhere will be reunited after previously touring Australia together in 2010 and then Europe a few years later. Don’t miss out!

B9 alum Ceremony are putting together their Home Sick showcase once again this year. This time they will be joined by Cold Cave, Iron Lung, Uniform, Krimewatch, and many more. Home Sick 2 is this Saturday at The Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, CA. Get your tickets HERE.
We’re excited to announce that we have teamed up with Ryan Hoffman of Chain Of Strength to launch a brand new imprint label dubbed Quiet Panic. The imprint will also showcase previous Southern Lord production manager and Cobra Music A&R extraordinaire Michael Messina. Inspired by labels such as 4AD,Dischord, and Touch & Go, Quiet Panic are focused on delivering underground art from a diverse pool of talent who aren't afraid to express themselves without limitations. Messina states "You can expect the unexpected. We might release a popular indie band, a kid making beats in his bedroom, or a Norwegian Black Metal band. Nothing is off limits. We just want to establish an environment of creativity and not be pigeonholed into one particular genre". When it came to finding a home for Quiet Panic, Bridge Nine was a no brainer. Hoffman says "Quiet Panic partnering with Bridge Nine is a dream come true. Aligning ourselves with a label whose values and principals originate from DIY hardcore just as ours makes this an amazing collaboration. Bridge Nine offers Quiet Panic 23 years of experience built from the ground up launching essential artists such as American Nightmare, No Warning, Defeater, and Ceremony. This is monumental for us."
The first artist joining the imprint is Philadelphia based Beach Slang, who just wrapped up recording with Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls. Since 2014 Beach Slang's brand of punk tinged rock & roll has catapulted them into being one of the most recognizable and exciting names in underground music today. With a string of albums on beloved emo/indie institution Polyvinyl and even more EPs under their belt, Beach Slang are ready to unleash their next release via Quiet Panic/Bridge Nine.
Beach Slang share teaser for upcoming EP titled 'MPLS'
'MPLS' track-listing:
1. AAA
2. I Hate Alternative Rock
Stay tuned for more information on Quiet Panic and releases to come. Remember, expect the unexpected.
