April 08, 2024 by David Norman

Gxllium! tapes released! Get’em before they’re gone, cuz they’ll be gone soon, I reckon.

Not Fading Away Like The Rest Of Them is the new podcast with Josh Jakubowski and CanaDave! Josh played in Neil Perry, Hot Cross, The Now, Joshua Fit For Battle, etc. and in these podcasts he will bring an older album while I bring a new record, and we listen to two songs from each release and discuss. This first episode features two incredible bands, Instil and Nuvolascura <3 Episode two has already been filmed and just needs editing which we’ll premiere in late April.

LETTINGTHEINTRUSIVETHOUGHTSWIN features Riley of Gxllium! and their debut EP +1 extra song go live on Tomb Tree this Wednesday April 10th! You can jam a song in the most recent Operation X-Ray episode, during which they also played a new Terry Green jam!

Burial Etiquette is almost out! Remaining distribution of copies:
US 25 cornetto / quad sold out
Canada 9 cornetto / quad sold out
Bandcamp 5 cornetto / 1 quad

Crossed’s new EP ‘Vida Quieta’ got an early review from This Noise Is Ours. The full 12” releases April 20th! Check out the review by clicking on the pic above or this text and jam a jam below! See'em at ZBR Fest 2024!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THE DOG INDIANA = This semi-local band blew me away at the most recent Life In Vacuum show! Noisy, screamy, rockin’ stuff.

2024 - 04 - 05 /// Gxllium! promo pics

First and foremost, it’s Bandcamp Friday. Please consider supporting us so we can keep making records <3

.22LR released their self-titled debut earlier this week and it fucking rocks. Fans of Frail Body, Gil Cerrone, Youth Funeral, and Othiel should give this a whirl…I think you’ll dig it hard. Tapes linked to our stores directly through the Tomb Tree Bandcamp below :)

Terry Green premiered their new jam “Full Lip” from the upcoming ‘Provisional Living’ 12”LP. First album in a fucking decade and yes, it’s worth the wait. Even better than their debut!

Gxllium! promo pics have surfaced with the debut album releasing on ZBR this Monday April 8th at 9am EST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!! Some very sick variants, not many made, as we’ll only have 70. Is that metal on the green tape, David? Why, yes. Yes it is. Bad-fucking-ass. CanaDave spoke with them a few weeks back which you can listen to below.

Hawak released some of the best screamo ever then called it a day. CanaDave finally got off his ass and did another Out Past the Rings, this time for ‘Nuoc’, arguably one of the best things we’ve ever released. Co-released with Left Hand Label, not Dog Knights. I got one copy in this store and one on Bandcamp!!!

Lower Automation was featured on Brooklyn Vegan’s “New Song Roundup”. The tapes arrived for this new EP yesterday so I’m already dipping away. Full release May 20th! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the article.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KOMAROV = New live video from our UK besties!

2024 - 03 - 29 /// Herlovebeheadsdaisies and Missouri Executive Order 44 added!

March 29, 2024 by David Norman

Fest update! Onelinedrawing and Burial Etiquette will be unable to make it this year (mad bummer), but fret not because we’ve added Herlovebheadsdaisies (Sunday) and Missouri Executive Order 44 (Saturday)!!! Click on that pic above to get some tickets!

Just a heads up, there will be no Demersal pre-orders for Tomb Tree/ZBR, just like Crossed, we’ll wait until the release and we have them in hand. Demersal is set for May 10th, 2024.

The next Tomb Tree release is the stellar new screamo band .22LR who contains members of Low Before The Breeze, Less Dead, and Jornada Del Meurto (to name just a few) with a new song premiering over at Idioteq.com. Full release is April 2nd!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go there.

Lower Automation had that “Life Insurance” premiere at Ghost Cult Mag, with their new EP ‘Welcome To My Deathbed’ on May 20th, 2024. There’s more info in the post linked here by clicking on this text. Jam it below!

The first annual Screamo Awards goes live on the 30th of March! Interviews done by our very own CanaDave. Youtube link goes live when it says it does, but you can access the link below now so you can save it.

Basque had an excellent review from Cave Dweller Music, who really gets this Kitchener four-piece. The seven songs are truly something special and are not likenable (not a word, I know) to any other bands. Click on this text or the pic above to read it in full. Jam/buy our last copies below!

Widowdusk was played on the newest Operation X-Ray, for which there will likely be another new episode tonight so stay tuned!

Moshpit Nation’s Best of February includes Gxlllium!, Onewaymirror, and Volp among many others. Click on this text or the pic above to see a monstrous amount of killer releases.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MY HEART, YOUR HANDS = New rampagin’ from this band who is heavily influenced by Me And Him Call It Us.

2024 - 03 - 26 /// Lower Automation premiere + Basque + Autumn releases

March 26, 2024 by David Norman

There’s a brand new song from Lower Automation premiering over at Ghost Cult Mag! Click on that pic above or this text to go there! Cassettes ordered and release on May 20th!!!

Burial Etiquette’s debut 12” is selling fast, with the quad splat variant running hella low. Punknews seems to be realizing that screamo is sick again after ignoring my emails for a decade, so here’s a track-by-track breakdown of the record!!! Access by clicking this text or the pic above.

Some quick news that will affect some! There will be no pre-orders for the new Crossed 12”EP, as we’d prefer to wait until the full album release and we have the copies in-hand. We shall let you know when they arrive, as ‘Vida Quieta’ is set to release on April 19th.

Pettersson and Burial Etiquette are on route from the US store to the Canada store, so if you’re still waiting on the former we apologize for the delay but CanaDave will get those out the door the day they arrive (early next week, I reckon).

Basque’s ‘Pain Without Hope of Healing’ is out and we already sold all of the Flower Garden variant, with a single test dip remaining in this store and a few swirls. Truly next level debut from some ex-Karloff members.

Autumn’s debut EP ‘please be happy’ was released by CanaDave’s Softseed Music today. We’re calling anime indie rock and the variants look great.

Click here for the full review!

Girl Arm got some love from This Noise Is Ours in their roster review series, and there’s still a single tape left in stock! One of the best albums ever, and their new record should be releasing soon under their updated moniker Works. Click on the text or pic above for the review, jam that shit below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KOMAROV = Their first release since the Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow split 7” and their first full length! Happy day!!!
