Strike Anywhere, Polar Bear Club, Crime in Stereo and Ruiner to tour

Bridge Nine Records is proud to announce their first official label tour featuring Strike Anywhere, Polar Bear Club, Crime In Stereo and Ruiner. As one of the most forward-thinking independent record labels in existence today, the Bridge Nine Tour will showcase some of the most exciting artists on the roster and music from their forthcoming releases.

Headlined by Strike Anywhere, who will be releasing their B9 debut Iron Front on October 6th, the Bridge Nine Tour will also feature NY-based Polar Bear Club (Chasing Hamburg in stores September 8th) and Crime In Stereo (new record TBA in stores February 2010), and Baltimore’s anti-heroes Ruiner (Hell Is Empty in stores September 22nd).

Label owner Chris Wrenn said, "Bridge Nine has done one-day fests before, but we have never done a full US tour. We now have so many bands touring and putting out records, the only problem with a ‘label’ tour now is finding bands. You can't do a 10 band tour. You can't do three tours with three or four bands each. But I think this is an awesome bill and a great representation of different sides of punk, hardcore, and Bridge Nine in 2009."

Tickets for the Bridge Nine Tour will be available beginning the weekend of July 10th. For more information, please visit www.Bridge9.com and check out the tour dates below.
