Bridge Nine Summer Compilation

posted by: David on 25 June 2009

Bridge Nine Records is excited to announce the release of their Summer 2009 Compilation CD , featuring eight new and never-before-heard tracks as well as music from almost every active band on the B9 roster. Additionally, a one-time pressing of 1000 copies of the summer exclusive tracks will be made available on the B9store on 45rm LP format for only $9 all summer. The amazing track list can be found below, and all new songs will be streaming on MySpace beginning Friday and for those who like things to sound a bit better than myspace, we will be streaming the songs on our Media Player starting Friday.

Why a physical CD compilation? The compilation with exclusive songs seems to have been lost to the internet. And with the popularity of the CD dwindling, it’s much easier to lean towards digital samplers. But we kept having people reference the 11-song comp we put out in 2006 and we decided it was time to put out something that was tangible this year that had rare and unreleased songs from new record we’re doing with Strike Anywhere, Polar Bear Club, Death Before Dishonor, Ruiner, Dead Swans Soul Control, Crime In Stereo and Have Heart along with a Paint It Black song only available on 7” or Itunes. And all of the songs are fucking awesome and the records are really fucking good. And we want to overload you with new music because it's overwhelming how good our bands are right now.

Where can you get the comp? Well, we're streaming it #1. So if you're broke, then that answers that question. If you have $3 to spare you can get it from us because you can't always carry your computer with you. $3 for 14 songs. Really. So there's that and then Bridge Nine Records is touring throughout the entire summer with the Warped Tour. B9 will be setting up shop every day of the tour to bring shirts, CDs and other merch to music fans across North America. Every morning, check out our Twitter page to find out where the booth is located, as well as read the witticisms from the surly bastard Chris Hayslett on www.Twitter.com/bridge9. We’ve given him the password and full access so we might regret this, but it'll be entertaining in the meantime.

The Bridge Nine Summer 2009 Compilation will be up for sale (or free with purchase over $15) at Warped Tour or at the www.B9store.com for $3 (or free with purchase over $15) this Friday June 26th.
