Bridge nine Antidote

By Lynn | Published 03/10/2012

I think this might be my first time seeing these Bridge Nine Antidote shirts, I know they reissued stuff, but I never bothered to really look or check. The front actually looks pretty good, but I’m kind of bummed if there is just a B9 logo on the back. Do all B9 shirts not have tags? Thats pretty cool, I guess I give this one a thumbs up, support fortunateson1956‘s auctions!

I care about this shirt

By Lynn | Published 02/17/2012

This is a pretty awesome Think I Care shirt and its flying under the radar. Seller motelbible says its from 2006 and that would be when the World Asylum album came out. Think I Care is a band that I wish was still playing shows.
Pretty much all of motelbible‘s other shirts are getting some attention so head over and bid on this one!

I Heard Preston Broke Edge …

By b. murphy | Published 09/02/2011

Ok, not really. prestoneleven didn’t break edge, not at all. In his very long description, he reminds you that he did not break edge. “FYI – I didn’t break edge. I’m not dropping out of the scene. I am a just part-time high school teacher looking to supplement my income by clearing out some extra items that have been sitting in my spare room for years. I think it is time to pass these things along to those in the next generation of eager show-goers who will appreciate them.” There you have it. BUT he is selling this excellent Carry On tshirt from their 2001 tour. On a quick glance, you could assume it was the run of the mill B9 tshirt. Not so, this one has the tour 2001 mention. This was the tour supporting the A Life Less Plagued LP. Overall, a dope as hell LP. Of course, it came with plenty of controversy. The big rumor at the time was that Ryan had broke edge. It was hard to dispute based on his shotgun, dyed black haircut. Very San Diego. But the show I saw

October 13 2001 @KOC Wallingford, CT: Carry On, Stop And Think, No Warning, Sworn Enemy

killed it, for obvious reasons. There was a lot of moshing, and table dives at this gig. Mind you, there was no stage. Not even a riser, but there were two folding tables flanking either side of the “stage area.” Decent for a dive or two. Solid gig. So good.

Jello Puddin Pops

By b. murphy | Published 05/28/2011

Ruiner. Word. Jello Pudding Pops. Double word. The best part of this tshirt from youmightwantit, is that, no matter how many jello pudding pops you eat, you’ll still be able to fit into this tshirt. Well, that is, IF you normally wear a shirt smaller than a size large.

Do you think Cliff would let Rudy wear this tshirt? I doubt it.

WTF? Lemuria Chair

By b. murphy | Published 05/24/2011

Not going to lie, I enjoy Lemuria. Now, I don’t expect any of you to feel the same (not for strict fans of NYHC) or even know who this band is. That’s all good by me. I enjoy them. But this shirt … I’ve got nothing to say. Grab this from doveyr if you get it. Because I don’t.

No Warning

By b. murphy | Published 12/13/2010

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness. It was a time of great shirts, it was a time of … not so great shirts. Courtesy of xapedrapex, you can have both. First up is the AMAZING longsleeve from No Warning. When this one dropped, kids were clobbering each other for them. Bridge 9 had to reproduce them eventually due to the popularity. Just a clean simple shirt.

Then there is this ringer tee. Yeah, a ringer tee. The graphic is pretty chill, and you can’t go wrong with the No Warning logo. But a ringer tee? Yikes, no thanks.

Boston Straight Edge

By b. murphy | Published 11/28/2010

Have Heart rules. Their final show was a serious blast. Lots of stage dives, lots of positive energy. If you were there, you know what I’m talking about. If you weren’t there … well, you can still grab the dvd from the b9 store. Go ahead and grab that package, it’s well worth it. And if you are down to rep the Boston Straight Edge, go ahead and grab this hood (with reasonable BIN price) from levil501. Good look.

I’m Whining

By b. murphy | Published 10/15/2010

A few days back, a commenter noted that we “whine” about bootlegs. I’m not sure why he thinks that, really. For one thing, bootlegs suck. The quality shit 99.9% of the time. Either the graphic is tweaked or pixelated, or the shirts are burlap sacks. Nobody needs that. Secondly, when you buy bootlegs, you support terrorism … ok, that may just me RIAA propaganda … But when you buy bootlegs, you definitely aren’t supporting the band or artist that created the tshirt. You are supporting some kid in Italy who is making shit bootlegs. For example, the latest newcomer to shitville boots is violenzaviolenza. Below are two “schism records” related shirts. Please note, the Schism Records bootleg is of a Bridge 9 design. Do you think Chris Wrenn is seeing any of that money? Do you think Slam or Kid Hard are seeing any of that money? Fuck no. And to top it off, the graphics make me want to gauge my eyeballs out. They are just BAD.

And after that botch Schism/Bridge 9 tee, don’t even get me started on this Wide Awake tshirt.

So kids, don’t support this dude. Stop buying and wearing shitty bootleg tshirts. If you don’t buy them, they’ll stop making them. And the world will be a better place.

Triple Record Release Prints

By b. murphy | Published 05/16/2010

In the world of prints, matching numbers are cool. Getting 3 prints with matching numbers always increases the inherent value. And usually, AP (artist proofs) are even more valuable.

When Linas dropped these 3 prints for sale at the 3 record release shows, kids were murdering each other to get one. Somehow, I ended up with an Artist Proof of one print. I was pretty happy with it. Others, I have seen with matching sets. I think Kurt Wilson may have the 3 neatly framed. It was quite a classy production.

American Nightmare, Death Threat, Shark Attack. 3 great B9 releases. A real big day for Bridge 9 records, that’s for sure. I’m pretty positive I went to this gig, but my mind is blanking on it. I’m positive it was at the Met Cafe, but I’ve gone completely blank. Someone clue me in. March 18, 2002 (oddly, 3 days prior, I saw an excellent gig at the Palladium, Some Kind of hate, Horror Show, Count me Out, Panic, and American Nightmare). I can’t imagine I would have skipped such a gig …

As far as matching prints go, you’ll have to keep looking. vvvvvmarkvvvvv is selling 2 prints with matching numbers BUT not all 3. And animlstc is selling 2 prints which you could use to make all 3 match, but sadly, no matching numbers there. Keep digging for those matches!

“Original” Schism Records Tee

By b. murphy | Published 04/04/2010

The seller has this one listed up an “original schism tee.”

Uh huh.

By original, he means, “released by Bridge 9 records a few years ago.” Not screened by Alex Brown or Porcell. Not screened at the Schism HQ. Not screened by Schism Records.

Now, it is a legit release. It’s not some bootleg from Florida or Idaho or Germany. It’s real and authentic.

But “original?” I wouldn’t call it that.

If anyone has an OG one sided Schism Records tee, hit me up. I want it.
