2022 - 02 - 07 /// ZBR Fest Midwest 2022!!!

Holy smokes we’re gonna do a fest! Probably! Assuming shit doesn’t go south real quick, we will be doing our first fest in three years! Cancelling ZBR Fest 2020 was a communal groin kick, and 2021 we didn’t even try to plan, but 2022, oh good golly maybe intelligence, empathy, and an investment in the general well-being and happiness of others will enable us to put this three-day fest on this summer.

The dates?
JUNE 10th (Empty Bliss pre-show)
JUNE 11th (Day 1 @Beat Kitchen)
JUNE 12th (Day 2 @Beat Kitchen)

You can buy pre-order 2-day tickets now, and there’ sonly 50 available currently at a $5 discounted price! $35 for Day 1 and Day 2, which will jump to $40 once the 50 early bird specials sell out.

ORDER TICKETS HERE (use access code ZBR35)

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HOMESKIN = Another solo project from none other than Garry Brents (of Cara Neir, Gonemage, Sallow Moth, etc.) focusing on dank, dirty, uncomfortable emo-violence.

2022 - 02 - 05 /// Big news on Monday!

1) First off, big announcement on Monday! What is it?!?! Even I forget! (not really, it’s too big, and it’s not Atameo). In regards to our previous post, Motel Bible sold out of both stores in just under two minutes. We’ll have enough copies to count on one hand for the rebalance sale which you’ll find on the final day of February.

2) We have some seriously low stock items, most of which won’t be repressed. In the Canada store I’ve got the following left with nothing else coming from the US store cuz they are low/sold out of these also:

Nuvolascura -> new 12” (purple) x1 [all other variants sold out]

Smile To The Wind -. 12” x3

4-Way split -> (yellow w/splatter, Armysives, TBG, etc.) x5 [all other variants sold out]

Crossed -> 12” x1

Crowning -> 12” (random color) x1

Euth -> 12” x2

To Forget -> 12” x1

New Grass -> 12” (orange) x3 [all other variants sold out]

Naedr -> 12” x3

3) We released the forever incredible Via Fondo discography titled ‘Slow Girl’ yesterday. There are two primary variants and a secret variant (plus some tests and a few /1s), with the /50 “Girl Swirl” pictured below.

4) Next up is Atameo which will release on 12” this month via us and Middle Man Records! Only 100 copies available so don’t sleep on that, it’ll move fast…cuz it’s fucking incredible.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VIA FONDO = One of the most overlooked/amazing screamo bands of all-time. I’ve been obsessed since 2013 and I don’t expect it to ever stop.

2022 - 02 - 01 /// Motel Bible drops today and other news

Okay people, here we are. In 30 minutes the Motel Bible ‘Regression’ 12”s officially go live and likely move very quickly. The product will be at the top of the Zegema Beach Releases tab in this store, and at the top of the list on the homepage in the US store. Happy bible hunting. Kill that bible dead! Yeah! YEAH!!!

2 - There are a few surprises in the New Items/Specials sections of the store for you to check out if you missed the Motel Bible.

3 - That sick-ass U.K. emo-violence band Crocus is releasing a discography via Tomb Tree on Friday February 4th and we already have advance copies that we’ll put up for sale the same day. They look/sound incredible.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KILPREZ = Solo swedish sass/jazz/metal. So sick.

2022 - 01 - 30 /// Pertinent info

Alrighty let’s get to it!

1 - Masada 12” is out. It’s awesome. You’re awesome. Be awesome together.

2 - This is another Motel Bible reminder about ‘Regression’ releasing for a one-time only pressing on February 1st, 2022 in both of our stores as well as Heathen Hand Records.

3 - Some recent release date changes were made, making the information from the last post mostly irrelevant. So yeah. Psych!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: IN MEMORIES = An awesome offshoot of one of our favourites Under A Sky So Blue. Hard recommend for unique, gripping, screamo.
