BRIDGE NINE RECORDS SET TO RELEASE NEW FOUND GLORY "TIP OF THE
ICEBERG" CDEP/7"/DIGITAL

Yes: the rumors you've heard are true. In April 2008, Boston's
hardcore punk label Bridge Nine Records is partnering up with a band
called New Found Glory to release the Tip Of The Iceberg EP on CD, 7",
and digital formats. To some, it may seem like an unlikely
partnership. To Bridge Nine and New Found Glory, it makes perfect
sense. New Found Glory's guitar player, infamous hardcore kid, and
Gorilla Biscuits vinyl collector extraordinaire Chad Gilbert stated,
"When we began New Found Glory, we were just a couple of kids from the
hardcore scene playing in a punk band. Even today, there are still
hardcore kids that support NFG so it's awesome to put something out
for them and it's also a chance for us to show recent NFG fans the
scene where the band started. Now that we've got some time in
between contracts, it's nice to take some time and do whatever we want
and write and record music with no pressure."

Featuring three New Found Glory originals and three cover songs, this
is a release that shows an inspired band having fun making a record
for themselves and their supporters. The Tip Of The Iceberg EP pays
tribute to the bands and the people who inspired New Found Glory
throughout their career as they reached their success over the last
decade.

Bridge Nine Records' owner Chris Wrenn stated, "New Found Glory has
always been a band that hardcore kids have liked, and they are not one
of those bands that came from nowhere and threw out a few hardcore
nods for credibility's sake. The first time I met the band was when I
was with Champion in Australia a few years ago. The guys came out to
the show, hung out, and they were cool guys. It's common to have
bands with hardcore kids playing pop punk songs and some are pretty
big bands, but there were guys doing the same thing a decade before in
basements and garages and they got the idea from New Found Glory."

The Tip Of The Iceberg EP was recorded with Paul Miner (of Death By
Stereo notoriety) who was also at the helm for NFG's last two proper
albums, Coming Home as well as the recent From The Screen To Your
Stereo II. The artwork is going to be done by hardcore illustration
legend Sean Taggart, made famous for his work on classics by Agnostic
Front and the Crumbsuckers, as well as supplying artwork for more
recent Bridge Nine releases from Mental and Think I Care.
Look for plenty of announcements involving New Found Glory's Tip Of
The Iceberg EP before it hits stores worldwide in April 2008 via
Bridge Nine. Be excited we are.
