Fenway Punk, the new book by B9’s Chris Wrenn, tells the story of how Boston’s hardcore punks profited off the rivalry between the Red Sox and the New York Yankees in the seasons leading up to the 2004 World Series. This early-aughts tale of how Red Sox fans unknowingly bankrolled the Bridge Nine record label, and dozens of albums from bands like American Nightmare, Terror, Have Heart, Death Before Dishonor, and so many more from the sale of Yankees Suck swag, will finally be in stores on Tuesday, February 10th. If you pre-ordered it, thank you! If you haven’t yet, there’s still time to grab it HERE.
The publisher, Running Press, is sending a free throwback sticker - the kind we used to sell in the streets outside of Fenway Park over 25 years ago - to anyone who uploads their receipt. It doesn’t matter where or when you ordered, just upload the info, and they’ll hook it up! Details for that are HERE!
To celebrate the release, we’ll be hosting an event at the Bridge Nine warehouse on Saturday, February 7th at 7 pm, hosted by our pal Jared Carrabis from the Section 10 podcast. Come on out and help us launch it in style! RSVP HERE!
