***Palehorse Touring Europe & Amongst The Flock gets more praise***
Palehorse has been destroying kids nightly since the release of Amongst the Flock last November and they’re currently in the middle of their first tour to Europe. If you’re overseas, check out www.bridge9.com/shows for the latest show information. People are still discovering Amongst the Flock, and Metal Edge recently said that the record is “…Pensive, original, and heavy are three words that best describe Palehorse’s experimental hardcore album Amongst The Flock. With hasty vocals that revel in the essence of punk and an imulsive, hardcore rhythm, Palehorse generates an interestingly intense genre of their own. Moreover, Amongst The Flock has plenty of catchy breakdowns. Even if you aren’t a fan of either of these genres, you can appreciate (if not enjoy) Amongst The Flock’s appealing, innovative aura.” It just keeps coming.
***Ruiner Prepare To Be Let Down information & Tour Announced***
Baltimore’s ugly spawn, Ruiner, is getting ready to release their debut LP Prepare To Be Let Down on June 19th. Following their record release show on June 16th in Maryland, they’re embarking on a full US and European tour that doesn’t end until October. For detailed show information, go to www.bridge9.com/shows. The European tour announcement will be made very soon, and it will be worth the wait.
***Ceremony Scared People EP coming out July 3rd on Itunes and vinyl***
Ceremony has a touring schedule that is going to cover just about every corner of the US and Europe following the release of their 7″ and Digital release Scared People. This is a six song EP that is just punishing. If you haven’t heard Ceremony yet, they’ve released a demo, a 7″ and a CD/LP on Malfunction Records, and they’re the most brutal, angry, out of control band you’ll see live. This summer, they’ll be touring with Shipwreck and Blacklisted, then hitting Europe with Bane and Have Heart-a few shows are with this little group called the Gorilla Biscuits. The full-length will be coming out in Early 2008, but trust us-this will hold you over.
***Crime In Stereo and Ambitions finishing their B9 Debuts***
Long Island’s Crime In Stereo and Connecticut’s Ambitions are finishing up their Bridge Nine debuts. You’ll have to wait a while for these ones, but it’s going to be the the last part of a great year here at Bridge Nine.
Finally-we here at Bridge Nine would like to say goodbye to the guys who made up a little group called Kill Your Idols. This is a band that B9 had the privilege of working with on the vinyl version of the Kill Your Idols/Good Riddance split 7″ and if you haven’t heard No Gimmicks Needed, or the “Something Started Here” collection that is coming out on CD with Lifeline and vinyl with Get Outta Town Records-you’re missing out. Personally, I’m really sad that I couldn’t make it to their last shows, but without making this longer-Kill Your Idols is going to be missed but they’ll always be remembered.
If you didn’t read anything in there that peaked your interest, you need to get your head checked. Seriously.
