Ok, it's been a long time since the first time I saw these guys.

2 and a half years ago (almost to the date), since then and they have consistantly impressed me, getting better and tight each time.

I remember after the first time I saw them, some people played them off as just another hardcore act. "and the guitar player and bass player singing too, why do we need another hatebreed/blood for blood band"

this of course was said by people that have never seen them.

if you like hardcore, it's pretty hard not to get into these guys after you see them. Listening to their music runs through a hardcore gambit of old school, new school, nyc, and boston.

listening to this music, you can find influences from old agnostic front and Madball and bulldozer to "newer" bands like "chaulked full of sing alongs" death threat and reach the sky to punker-hardcore panic-type bands and even a little social distortion, maybe?

their ability to grab more fans at every show is what has put them where they are now. Starting (like all bands) at a little show in some ass-backwards town to today where they have toured the US a few times and...

just got back from touring europe!

Releases
they released their first CD a few years back on Spooky City Records
featuring their "anthem" song <i>true til death</i>

a song that just screams "pile up" and "sing along".

in 2004, bridge 9 made one of their smartest moves ever, signing dbd. 2005, had them releasing "friends, family, forever" on B9 (with the new anthem song of the same title). Why was this such a smart move for b9? It expands their base of music, sounding different from all other b9 bands and adds a band to their roster that is on the way up.

How do they do it? how do they constantly top themselves on every show? First off, they are one of the few bands that hasn't had a single member leave.. a very rare thing now a days.
Second, they started off with a loyal fan base of supportive friends who still come out to every show.
Also, they also have a style that changes enough from song to song allowing more people to find something in their music.
and finally, they work really really hard.

if you don't know them yet, get out and see them, now.
PS: if you've never seen them before, you might want to wear a cup.
