2024 - 03 - 18 /// Widowdusk released!

One of the essential California screamo revival bands is Widowdusk. They have been releasing stellar EPs and splits for a few years, and really owning the live scene over there, and with this debut full length they prove why there has been so much damn hype out west. Let the 10 tracks of emotionally jarring screamo wash over you now, scramble for a cassette around ZBR Fest, and/or snag that 12” vinyl come mid-late summer.


Vancouver Island’s Hillsboro just released a new music video for “Novalynn”. CanaDave is buds with this band and is playing a few shows with them in May via his new band Mourn Recif. This material is kinda Strokes/emo-esque with the newer/unreleased material getting heavier. 12”s still in stock!!!


Operation X-Ray premieres from Basque and Burial Etiquette as well jams from Crossed and Pettersson.



Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SACROFUOCO = The new trajectory and band name for those formerly known as One Dying Wish. Excellent stuff!!! We will be getting a few copies from Icorrupt…today!

2024 - 03 - 15 /// Test Raffle + Little Big Stuff Thing + Crossed

Crossed’s ‘Vida Quieta’ releases April 19th on 12” via Zegema Beach, Through Love, and the band. You can jam the first single and closing track “Nostalgia” below. Catch them at ZBR Fest 2024!!!


A bigass reminder that the Test Press raffle closes an hour after Little Big Stuff Thing tomorrow at 10am PST / 12pm CST / 1pm EST. As of now if you enter you will win, I have about 17 test presses but only about 5 entries so if you want a test press of your choosing for less than $4US then this is the biggest steal ever.

The Little Big Stuff Thing starts an hour earlier at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and includes a buncha stuff including but not limited to: Onewaymirror 12”, Tristan Tzara mages and handmades, Congratulations handmades, a single Senza 12”, Blind Girls handmades and new No Funeral press, Orchid 12”s (no Orchids are mages!!!), a swirled Gifts From Enola tape boxset, Euclid C Finder’s final cassette copy, a small stack of Burial Etiquette/Mis Suenos splits that were returned, a buncha screamo t-shirts, etc.
