BRIDGE NINE RECORDS SIGNS VERSE - NEW ALBUM, AGGRESSION, COMING JUNE 10TH


Bridge Nine Records is proud to announce that they have signed
Providence, RI's long-running hardcore band VERSE. The band will be
entering God City Studios in Salem, MA & The Getaway Group Studios in
MA with engineer Jay Maas this week to being tracking what will become
their third full-length album and premiere for Bridge Nine, titled
Aggression, set to hit stores June 10th.

In a day and age where hardcore bands have a shelf-life limited to a
few years, and third albums are rare and usually past the prescribed
shelf-life, Verse is a band that has retained the energy and purpose
of a new band after six years and two monumental full-lengths, 2004's
Rebuild and 2006's From Anger And Rage, both released on California's
Rivalry Records- who will still be handling the vinyl release of
Aggression. Frontman Sean Murphy clarified, "Kyle [Rivalry] has been
supportive of Verse and we're excited to be working with Bridge Nine
with his blessing, but we still look forward to having a relationship
& connection to the label that helped get our band off the ground."

Verse has hit the international road making a name for themselves as
they shared the stage with Bane, Have Heart, Comeback Kid, Evergreen
Terrace and many, many more. But what makes Verse a band with staying
power and identity is that they take a powerful, dynamic, and
passionate performance both on record and tape and infuse it with a
political and social backbone that is all but lost in the hardcore
scene. Punknews.org agreed when reviewing From Anger And Rage,
saying, "Hardcore, plain and simple, needs more bands like Verse. More
bands that can match their own passion and intensity with the skill to
parlay it into something memorable."

"You used to go to shows and you couldn't escape the PETA table, the
AK press table, the different flyers, distros, and a strong sense of
action & interest as a scene. It's almost like kids choose to avoid
reality It seems like no one's vegan anymore. No one says anything
on the stage. We don't beat the message over anyone's heads, but it's
very important to us that we provide reading lists in our records &
other outlets for information because it's that same thing I had
growing up."

Aggression will be unleashed June 10th. Expect Verse to stay out of
Rhode Island as much of this year as possible.
