HEAVYHEX wrapped up their East Coast tour this Saturday, alongside Spite House, B9 labelmates Roll Call, and local Connecticut acts Almighty Watching and Montclair.
From the second we heard their music, we knew HEAVYHEX was something special. Their passion, talent, and extreme work ethic has us thrilled for what's coming in the next year. Stay tuned for some killer music and more from our Long Island friends.

This Saturday, Incendiary Device held their record release show at the Bowery Electric in NYC, supported by Rebelmatic, The Krays, Cortisol, and Pembroke. This show was organized as part of a series of free hardcore matinees spearheaded by ID vocalist Drew Stone, a fitting way to debut what he and the ID crew have been working so hard on.
Incendiary Device and Bridge Nine want to thank everyone who came out. It was a great show with unmatched energy and an exciting day for the band and all NYHC lifers. Their album is now available on streaming platforms, and you can pre-order vinyl, CDs, and merch on our webstore!
This month marks 10 years since Bridge Nine released Iron Chic’s sophomore full-length, The Constant One. To celebrate this anniversary and its sixth pressing, we have 1,000 copies of this melodic punk powerhouse available on opaque pink vinyl!
This release upped the band's ante, boasting nearly 40 minutes of their heartfelt sound. With big build-ups, warm harmonies, and gripping climaxes, the band tackled somewhat altered subject matter from 2010's Not Like This. Aided by deeply embedded metaphors hinting at themes of communication, perseverance, and self-worth, The Constant One was no mere sequel, but rather its own set of cleverly cloaked ideas soundtracked by a bed of driving riffs and life-affirming, tremendous melodies.
Today, Incendiary Device’s debut album is available on streaming platforms! You can also pre-order vinyl, CDs and merch via our webstore, all of which will be shipping in the next month.
Founded by NYHC journeyman, documentarian, and filmmaker Drew Stone (vocals), and Tristan D’Graves (bass), and rounded out by Shaun Brennan (guitar) and Mike Flaherty (drums), Incendiary Device’s music is steeped in early hardcore and classic punk while inescapably maintaining the edge and grit of their New York roots. Heavily influenced by Minor Threat, Negative Approach, SSD and early Black Flag, Stone and D’Graves share a rich musical history having played and toured together for over a decade in several New York-based bands (Antidote, The High & The Mighty, Drew Stone Hit Squad).
Incendiary Device’s self-titled release features 12 tracks that capture the energy and rage of NYHC with hook-laden songwriting sensibility, separating them from their peers. Thematically it focuses largely on the dichotomy between maintaining a youthful spirit at heart with the realities of being middle-aged in a technology-focused world. The album is self-produced, primarily by D’Graves and Stone with engineering by Brian DiMeglio at Found Soundation Studios in Brooklyn, NY, and mixing by Dan Korneff and Neal “Zum” Osteberg.
Incendiary Device has toured nationally and shared the stage with bands including Biohazard, Madball, Sheer Terror, and Gogol Bordello, and have announced a record release show on November 12th at Bowery Electric as part of the club’s long-running, free Sunday Matinee series.

Today, Bridge Nine Records announces the release of New York band Incendiary Device debut album, Incendiary Device, due out November 10th. Founded by NYHC journeyman, documentarian, and filmmaker Drew Stone (vocals), and Tristan D’Graves (bass), and rounded out by Shaun Brennan (guitar) and Mike Flaherty (drums), Incendiary Device’s music is steeped in early hardcore and classic punk while inescapably maintaining the edge and grit of their New York roots. Heavily influenced by Minor Threat, Negative Approach, SSD and early Black Flag, Stone and D’Graves share a rich musical history having played and toured together for over a decade in several New York-based bands (Antidote, The High & The Mighty, Drew Stone Hit Squad). Started in 2022, today the band share their first recorded music with the punchy title track “Incendiary Device.” The song packs that old-school character with electrifying guitars and comes alongside a fiery performance video, which can be watched HERE.
On the lyrics, D’Graves states:
“Incendiary Device is about the toxic nature of social media. Lyrically it uses the analogy between a weapon of war and social media as a social weapon. An incendiary device on the battlefield is not a precision weapon, innocent bystanders in the blast range become victims. Social media has the same effect. People spew hateful rhetoric from their phones and computers and sometimes extremely kind and genuine individuals get caught in the blast range. This song was inspired by a specific incident where an innocuous friend of ours became one of those targets.”
Incendiary Device’s self-titled release features 12 tracks that capture the energy and rage of NYHC with hook-laden songwriting sensibility, separating them from their peers. Thematically it focuses largely on the dichotomy between maintaining a youthful spirit at heart with the realities of being middle-aged in a technology-focused world. The album is self-produced, primarily by D’Graves and Stone with engineering by Brian DiMeglio at Found Soundation Studios in Brooklyn, NY, and mixing by Dan Korneff and Neal “Zum” Osteberg.
