Bridge Nine Records

Bridge Nine Records in Beverly operates as both a record label and bookstore specializing in punk, hardcore, and indie music. The store carries books and merchandise alongside its releases. Founded by Chris Wrenn, the label began in the late 1990s documenting Boston-area bands and has since grown into a significant force in the hardcore-punk community. Bridge Nine hosts events and continues to support underground music through its various operations.

The label's origins trace to modest beginnings, with early funding coming from creative merchandising ventures around Fenway Park. Over the years, Bridge Nine developed into a resource for bands seeking guidance and connections within the music industry. Today, the store at 282 Rantoul Street serves as a hub for fans and musicians interested in punk and hardcore music, maintaining its independent spirit while building on decades of community engagement.
