Amidst children with "free hugs, I'm single!" written on their forehead and Juggalo tattoo's, there are in fact some things worth seeing on Warped Tour. We are currently in Fresno, CA getting into the last week of this years Warped Tour.
Here are some of the more interesting pictures I have taken in the last 7 weeks...
I will leave it at that. If you are from California and plan on going to Warped Tour, make sure to stop by the Bridge Nine tent, say hi, buy the new have heart and ceremony records.

Energy Posts New Song! "400" On Myspace.com/Thisenergy
Energy and Bridge Nine have unleashed a brand new song off of the Boston band's debut album Invasions of the Mind, which hits stores on September 30th. The song, titled "400", blends Energy's wide array of musical influences like The Misfits, Bad Religion, AFI, Dag Nasty, and 7 Seconds while creating a sound that's all Energy. Head over to www.myspace.com/thisenergy now to hear "400"!
Invasions of the Mind was recorded at Q Division Studios and mixed by Jay Maas (Verse, Shipwreck AD), mastered by Nick Zampiello, and is poised to be one of the best punk records of 2008.
In promotion of "Invasions of the Mind," Energy and Bridge Nine will be releasing a 7" EP titled "Race The Sun." Limited to 1000 copies, it features two songs from "Invasions" and will be available on tour and exclusively from the B9 webstore very soon. Additionally, Energy is on the road for a US tour with Know the Score and Meantime. Having been on the road since the beginning of August, the boys of Energy aren't due to return home until the middle of September.

There's a dude named Toast. He plays guitar or bass and maybe drums in Ceremony. He prints their t-shirts, too. Their CD came out on Tuesday and they're going on a world tour that makes Metallica jealous.
I also like to call him (Toast, that is) the Karl Kontent editor. Any typo. Any Freudian slip. Any error at all, this dude catches it. Even things on the surface that don't appear to be errors, he takes the parts five sentences back, makes a point that your tenses are mismatching, you have a dangling preposition, and you're pronouns aren't matching the subjects and then he shamingly laughs at me. It's really intimidating and he scares me and for some reason, my experience with him makes me glad I'm not his child. But he's a good dude. A gooder dude than me most of the time.
And he has some pictures of him jumping out of a plane. What a life this dude leads. He prints shirts. He travels the world. He hangs out with supermodels. He has perfect grammar. And he flies with so much strength that he can carry another person on his back. He's a model American.
Ceremony's Bridge Nine debut Still Nothing Moves You Is in stores NOW. Today. Yesterday as well. We sent out a bunch of bulletins and email blasts and forgot to post a news blog post about it, but here we are. It's still available. It's still everywhere you find B9 Records and even places you wouldn't expect.
We've heard feedback from people that our big store lists of states and where to find it are overkill, so we tell you this-you know where you can find our stuff. If you live in California, you can assume that Amoeba, Rasputin's, Dimple Best Buy, FYE, and every Hot Topic have this CD on the shelves. You live out east? Newbury, Bull Moose, Vintage Vinyl, Generation-etc. You get the idea. It's available. In a lot of places. It's awesome. If you can't find it for some reason, you can order it from Bridge Nine's Webstore along with a bunch of new shirt designs including the new Beatles shirt which is downright incredible.
And Ceremony likes to tour. Starting this friday going into the end of the year, they're going to be playing almost as many shows as there are left in the calendar. Starting FRIDAY:

European Tour w/ Never Healed November 21-December 14th
Dudes won't be home for Thanksgiving. more Info Soon.
...is the name of Ruiner's upcoming 14-song collection featuring the What Could Possibly Go Right EP (previously released in various forms on Grave Mistake and 1917 records), the band’s split 7” with Day Of The Dead (from Portugal) and the band’s original demos. With all of these songs being out of print for some time, Ruiner and Bridge Nine decided it was time to bring back the magic, via LP and CD which will be in record stores September 30th.
Ruiner has made a name for themselves in the hardcore scene with relentless touring worldwide and a DIY attitude that put these Baltimore upstarts on multiple national tours before releasing their proper debut album, last year’s Prepare To Be Let Down, which AbsolutePunk claims, "makes me view hardcore in a new way." The songs that comprise I Heard These Dudes Are Assholes have been remastered by Nick Zampiello at New Alliance (Converge, Have Heart, Hope Conspiracy) to give this phenomenal 14-song collection a sharper, louder, heavier sound and, for the first time, puts the songs all on one 12” LP vinyl and CD.
In support of I Heard These Dudes Are Assholes, Ruiner plans to spend the majority of their time on the road like always. Expect to see Ruiner touring Europe with Counting The Days starting August 22nd, following that up with an East Coast tour with FC5 in the fall that will take them to THE FEST in Gainesville in October. The band will be ending 2008 with their first tour ever to Australia this November.
