Beach Rats have announced a summer release for the debut LP, ‘Rat Beat’, out on Epitaph Records on July 29th! For those who don't know, Beach Rats consists of scene veterans Brian Baker (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Bad Religion), Ari Katz (Lifetime), Bryan Kienlen and Pete Steinkopf (The Bouncing Souls) and Danny Windas (Let It Burn). In 2018, we proudly released their debut EP ‘Wasted Time’, which introduced the world to this all-star band with five songs of fast, melodic hardcore punk that was simultaneously new and yet true to their members' roots. They have released the album's title track and the video is linked below so be sure to check that out! You can also pre-order the new album and listen to the new track on streaming services by clicking here! In the meantime, be sure to pick up their 7" EP ‘Wasted Time’ (we still have some on blue marble/500) or some Beach Rats merch!

We're Opening a Record Store so we've Raided The B9 ARCHIVE
Over the past six or so months as we've prepared to move our office, we've been cleaning, organizing and packing. During that process, we've dug out all sorts of rare recordings from our archive that we'd forgotten we had, special sessions that had been filed away.
We've been sharing updates about the old Beverly Glass building that we're moving to, and the renovation that Chris Wrenn has been doing there over the past few months. What we haven't really talked much about is that the new office will also have a RECORD STORE! Our own dedicated retail space where you can get everything Bridge Nine, but also records from our favorite bands and labels too.
Last year, we released our "Raid The Vault" mystery boxes where we included test pressings and out of press variants of records from our discography, which helped us secure the space that will be our new HQ. Now, in the spirit of Record Store Day and to help us get across the finish line moving and renovating the building, we're offering our "Raid The Archive" boxes - which include FIVE special recordings, circa 2003-2009. This collection includes two new LP's and three new 7 inches that pull from Bridge Nine's heavy hitters during those years (featuring a very special unreleased recording from a band that we tried to sign back then, but couldn't), each housed in a full color glue-pocket jacket. If you are a fan of mid-2000's Bridge Nine, you will definitely want to get your hands on this! Order HERE!
This is a pre-order item. Due to the recent delays at pressing plants we anticipate this collection shipping in September, so please be aware of that. We will be sending updates as everything comes in, and hope to ship sooner than that!
