How Bridge Nine Turned "Yankees Suck" into Hardcore Punk Gold (& launched American Nightmare, Terror, Have Heart & more!)

December 28, 2018 ryan boone

If you like hardcore music you've heard of Bridge Nine, and if you like Boston sports you've heard of Sully's, but did you know the sports brand was originally started solely to fund punk albums? When Chris Wrenn was just 19 years old, he started a record label in his dorm room. Then, in the spring of 2000, he walked to Fenway Park from Boston's Mission Hill with friends from his bands and a backpack full of "Yankees Suck" bumper stickers.  The plan? To make the much needed money to release a record with his roommates in the band American Nightmare. What happened next took the hardcore music scene of the early 2000's worldwide and cemented Bridge Nine Records as one of its most recognized ambassadors. Read about it courtesy of No Echo HERE!

Have Heart's 'The Things We Carry' 10th Anniversary - limited screen printed poster and special deals

August 10, 2016 Bridge Nine

This week marks the 10th anniversary of Have Heart's classic full-length debut, The Things We Carry. This album marked a new era for hardcore, taking cornerstone inspirations like Youth of Today, Turning Point, Outspoken, and Bane while developing an entirely fresh sound. If that wasn't enough, it avoided the hardcore lyrical cliches becoming so prominent by that time, touching not only on straight-edge, but philosophy, heartbreak, and regret with a poetic yet aggressive edge. Frontman Pat Flynn showed a side of thoughtfulness and contemplation in rage that previously had went largely uncovered.

We're celebrating its 10th year of existence with a limited edition, six-color, hand-numbered screen printed poster based on the original cover artwork. In addition, we're offering a copy of their What Counts 12" (Triple B Records) for FREE while supplies last when you buy a copy of the latest pressing of The Things We Carry LP. You can also grab a Have Heart banner for only $10, for a limited time.

We'll be taking pre-orders on the screen printed poster for ONE WEEK only, so grab one while you can at B9Store.com!
