AltPress Exclusive: Bridge Nine Tour lineup and routing revealed
Alternative Press has exclusively obtained the lineup and routing for this fall’s inaugural Bridge Nine Tour. Assembled by Boston label Bridge Nine Records, the tour will feature headliners (and recent B9 signees) Strike Anywhere, whose B9 debut, Iron Fist, drops Oct. 6.
Supporting them will be post-hardcore buzz band Polar Bear Club, whose B9 debut, Chasing Hamburg, hits stores Sept. 8. Opening the month-long U.S. tour will be Crime In Stereo (whose new album will be issued in February 2010) and fellow labelmates Ruiner, who will release their new album, Hell Is Empty, on Sept. 22.
"I think this is an awesome bill," label owner Chris Wrenn says, "and a great representation of different sides of punk, hardcore and Bridge Nine in 2009."
