Fenway Punk is out NOW! You can grab it here: Beverly, MA / USA / Canada / Europe
Friday, February 13th, was the kickoff party at Bridge Nine for the release of Fenway Punk, the new book by Bridge Nine founder Chris Wrenn. It’s the true story of how Red Sox fans and the long-standing rivalry with the New York Yankees helped fund the Bridge Nine record label in the early 2000s. Chris was joined by Jared Carrabis of the Section 10 Podcast, and the two longtime collaborators chatted about the intersection of Boston punk and sports, the birth of the Sully’s brand, and how the money earned from peddling “Yankees Suck” merch on the sidewalk outside of Fenway Park over twenty-five years ago helped Chris to document an entire generation of hardcore punk bands and send them on tour all over the world.
We’ll be adding more photos and video to this post, so check back!

Free Stickers With Every Order book + B9's next warehouse gig!
Bridge Nine is helping Iodine Recordings celebrate the release of their new book by Thomas Rackow, Free Stickers with Every Order: A History of Hardcore Stickers ($39.95), by hosting a very intimate performance in our warehouse with two bands featured in its pages. We can't tell you who it is yet, but if you've checked out our other shows with bands like Agnostic Front, Ten Yard Fight, H2O, New Found Glory, and American Nightmare, you know it's going to be special. It's happening on Saturday, March 7th.
Free Stickers with Every Order is the first book dedicated entirely to the visual and cultural legacy of hardcore punk stickers. Spanning North America from the early 1980s to the present, this 250-page deluxe hardcover presents a carefully curated archive of rare and often long-lost stickers — collected over decades and contextualized through firsthand interviews with key figures from bands including 7 Seconds, Quicksand, Earth Crisis, American Nightmare, Hot Water Music, Bane, Integrity, Agnostic Front, and more. The book stands as a focused time capsule of hardcore’s DIY ethos, visual language, and community, told by those who were there.
This next event is so outrageous and one-of-a-kind that we can't just sell tickets as we have in the past. Iodine is making copies available for pre-order from the Bridge Nine store in Beverly, Massachusetts. Come down in person, pre-order the hardcover, 250-page book for $39.95, and your name will be added to the will-call list. Books for Bridge Nine's customers will be available at the show on 3/7, so you'll be getting your copy more than a month before anyone else! Reserve your spot before they're gone. You're not going to want to miss this.
Fenway Punk (the book) coming next month, release party at B9 on February 7th!
Fenway Punk, the headline (October 2003), and Fenway Punk, the book that it inspired. In stores on February 10th!
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!
