SUMMER RELEASE SCHEDULE

July 27th:
ANGER!
REGIMENT - "Aces And Eights"
Years after the "Final Mosh", members of Floorpunch are at it again in a new band called ANGER REGIMENT. Vocalist Mark Porter continues where Floorpunch left off but this time with a more Burn influenced brand of NYC Hardcore. Recorded by Dean Baltalonis at Atomic Studios (Sick Of It All, Madball, No Warning).
OUTBREAK - "Y!
ou Make Us Sick"
15 tracks of pure hardcore punk from B9''s newest addition, OUTBREAK. The first 11 songs were recorded by the legendary hardcore producer Don Fury (Judge, Youth Of Today) and they are so angry and fast that when they were done tracking, they realized that they had only recorded 10 minutes worth of music. So, it was back to the studio where they recorded 4 more songs to round the record out. Get into it.

STAND AND FIGHT - "Together We Win"
East Coast inspired HC from so-cal, Stand and Fight feature ex-Ten Yard Fight frontman Wrench on vocals and ex-members of Buried Alive, Carry On, and No Reply as well. This is STAND AND FIGHT's debut LP, after two well received EP's on Bridge Nine. 14 songs deep, including a re-recorded version of their classic track "I Won't Break".

August 10th:

FOR THE WORSE - "The Chaos Continues"
FOR THE WORSE features Boston hardcore personality Mike McCarthy (A Poor Excuse) and his band of hooligans playing vintage Boston Hardcore. Over and done with before you can pick your head up off the floor, this 18 song LP is specially priced as an MCD! Check it out, because really, THE CHAOS CONTINUES.

CHAMPION - "Promises Kept"
CHAMPION's debut LP. After 2 well received EP's on Bridge Nine Records, CHAMPION came out East to record with Kurt Ballou (Converge) at God City Studios (Give Up The Ghost, Carry On, The Hope Conspiracy, Converge). The result is 12 tracks of fast, positive hardcore.

Fresh off a European tour with The Promise, Champion will be on the road all summer '04 with Comeback Kid, promoting "Promises Kept". If you've seen CHAMPION before, you know what to expect. If you haven't, well, I feel bad for you.
