Chris Wrenn's Company Details
25 years ago, an avid punk and hardcore music fan named Chris Wrenn started putting out 7" records by some of his favorite local bands. Today, Bridge Nine is a recognized brand worldwide as one of the best in underground music with a roster boasting over a dozen full-time, active bands. With almost 300 releases, Bridge Nine's back catalog includes some of the biggest and best names in underground music (H2O, Polar Bear Club, New Found Glory, Defeater, Have Heart, Ceremony and many more) and it continues to get stronger.Bridge Nine's fiercely independent do-it-yourself work ethic is one of the biggest reasons the label has been able to persevere in a tumultuous music business climate in addition to growing significantly in a time when labels are contracting rapidly. The label has been featured in some of the biggest magazines in music today including Alternative Press and Revolver. Since 2007 the label has had almost a dozen releases on Billboard's Independent, Heatseekers, and Top 200 charts-all the while remaining firmly true to the original spirit from which the label started.
