Cruel Hand sign to b9[views:3667][posts:3]_____________________________________ [Jul 1,2008 1:12pm - the_reverend ""] For Immediate Release July 1, 2008 BRIDGE NINE RECORDS SIGNS CRUEL HAND Adding to their undisputed and growing roster, Bridge Nine Records is proud to add Cruel Hand to the B9 family! Coming out of Maine, Cruel Hand released their debut Without a Pulse last summer on 6131 Records. Originally intended to be a casual band, the tours started piling up and Cruel Hand quickly realized they wanted to tour full-time and did just that. Cruel Hand played shows around the US with Trash Talk and The Mongoloids, hitting the United States three times and the band recently completed their first full-European tour supporting Without A Pulse. People began to take notice, positive press began to roll in with Scenepointblank saying "the songs don't get stuck in your head; they get milled into your skull" and Cruel Hand decided to start looking around for labels. Bridge Nine owner Chris Wrenn said, "We couldn't be more stoked that Cruel Hand decided to go full-time. They're incredible musicians and they're so tight and powerful live that it was a no-brainer that we [Bridge Nine] team up with them. We've been watching them for a while and harassing their guitarist Nate Manning shortly after we started seeing them play, so we're so happy to finally welcome them to the family. And the demos they sent us are insane. It's a lesson in how metal-influenced hardcore should sound. We can't wait for this fall." Cruel Hand enters God City and the Getaway Group with engineer Jay Maas Monday, July 6th to being tracking their as yet untitled LP that is unleashing this fall. Look for more news on Cruel Hand soon and expect to see their Bridge Nine Records debut in the fall of 2008. Check out songs from Without a Pulse streaming now at http://www.MySpace.com/CruelHand. |
