Bridge Nine celebrated our first year open as a brick-and-mortar store on Saturday, September 9th! To help acknowledge the milestone, we invited one of our favorite bands, H2O, to perform in one of the most intimate settings that they’ve played in years.

Chris from Bridge Nine has been a fan of H2O since before he started the label. He even gave his college girlfriend a mixtape of H2O songs in 1996 of their demo and 7 inch! Having the opportunity to start working with the band back in 2007, and releasing the Nothing To Prove album, has been a highlight of the label.

To get the show started, Incendiary Device from NYC performed. The band features long-time B9 collaborator Drew Stone, and they have a full-length album in the works, look for it this fall on Bridge Nine!

Over the past 15 years, H2O and Bridge Nine have teamed up on 15 different releases, from new albums, singles, and re-issues of their earlier material. For this latest East Coast tour, they made our office the Boston-area stop on tour, and performed to the most intimate of audiences.

Everyone here at Bridge Nine would like to thank H2O, Incendiary Device, Larry Kelley, Chris Padgett, Jimmy the sound guy, and the many people who have come out and supported our live event series and our record store! We’d like to thank Liquid Death for keeping our guests hydrated. We’d also like to thank the people who helped document the night: Bill Fulkerson, Jason Zucco, Heather McGrath, Al Quint, Todd Pollock, Aaron RTTP, Dave Boccio & Dominic DiNardo. THANK YOU for your continued support. Excited to see what we can do in year two!

We’re very excited to have both H2O and Bridge Nine newcomers Incendiary Device perform for our anniversary.

Bridge Nine Records sign post-hardcore band HEAVYHEX

August 22, 2023 Bridge Nine

Continuing to build an exciting roster, today legendary hardcore label Bridge Nine Records announces the signing of Long Island band HEAVYHEX. Since forming in 2021, the band quickly gained a reputation for their ability to translate raw emotion into their music, blending melodic and post-hardcore. Drawing inspiration from influential bands like Mindset, Have Heart, and Title Fight, HEAVYHEX has crafted a distinctive sound that combines aggressive yet melodic guitars with impactful lyrics. The band has been building a following in New York and beyond since the self-release of their debut EP, Stare, in April 2022. The band’s captivating, sing-a-long ready live show has allowed them to share the stage with acts like Silent Majority, Militarie Gun, Soul Glo, and I Am The Avalanche.

HEAVYHEX just wrapped up recording their debut album, True To You, in the studio with Jay Maas (Defeater), with a release date to be announced. The album will dive deep into personal struggles, societal issues, and the demand for equality. Collaborating with Maas, the band channeled their collective energy and creativity to shape guitar tones that strike a balance of aggression, clarity, and emotion, accompanied by fast and hard-hitting percussion.

On signing HEAVYHEX, Bridge Nine owner Chris Wrenn states:

“The entire Bridge Nine team is thrilled to be working with HEAVYHEX. Listening to their EP, I got the same feeling I did when I first heard Have Heart and Defeater, and knew they were meant to join the Bridge Nine family. I can’t wait to release their new album and see everyone at their upcoming shows singing along to their compelling songs.”

With a powerful new album on the way, HEAVYHEX are primed to be the next band to watch in hardcore. As we head toward the release of new music, you can keep up with the band on Instagram and they have several shows coming up in Amityville, NY. Dates below.

HEAVYHEX is Daniel Lukach (Guitar & Vocals), David Gastiaburo (Vocals), Kevin Finamore (Bass & Vocals), Jeremy Gardiner (Guitar), and Michael DiLello (Drums).

Upcoming Shows:

8/27 w/ Survivors Guilt & American Slobs @ Amityville Music Hall - Amityville, NY

9/22 w/ The Backup Plan & Private Mind @ Amityville Music Hall - Amityville, NY
