Bridge 9 “VFW-core” (as dubbed by our fearless leader Jordan Baker) HAVE HEART will be bringing their heavy riffs across the world from Japan to Europe in the coming months. I get the feeling that if any Euros try to mess with them just because they are Americans, front man Patrick Flynn will just use his Hulk-inspired growl to send them running away. Check them out:

They were #61 on the New Artists debut list and #114 on the independent release list with 1,100 copies sold (according to IndieHQ.com). Bridge 9′s current lineup is one of the best in hardcore and this year is only getting better for the label.
