'The First Nine Years' chronicles are the modest beginning of the Bridge Nine record label. Launched in 1995 in a college dormitory as a way for its 19 year old founder, Chris Wrenn, to stay connected to his hometown hardcore music scene. The Bridge Nine label is now in its third decade of releasing 7" singles and albums for his favourite bands. This release collects 29 songs spread over from the labels earliest period, circa 1995 until 2004. Spread over five 7" records, these 29 bands become the soundtrack to the 128 page companion book packed with many never before seen photos, telling the story of how the label got its start.
