Wave #3 is here. We couldn’t be happier. Hopefully you’ll join us for the massive smile party on May 5th to 7th. Ticket links through the ZBR Fest site which you can reach by clicking on either fest poster.

Reversal Of Man arrived at our US store last week so the Canada/International box should be arriving this week and be fully shipped out by the weekend! Rejoice!!! I said rejoice dammit.

Greed Worm just premiered a new video for their song “Gary Webb” from the upcoming split cassette w/Blackwater Sniper that releases on Tomb Tree in February

Burial Etiquette and mis sueños son de tu adiós have a split cassette coming out on Tomb Tree on January 11th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. 7 new jams of glitchy emo-violence and gorgeous post-rock/screamo.

Get ready for a huge middle finger to 2023…and just about everything else. Releasing on Softseed Music, there is nothing soft or pretty about the debut Ego Death Children’s Choir album. This mind-melting sax/jazz/grind/noise fusion shares members with Blue Youth, Anemone, Surf Dads, Slow Down Molasses, etc. and brings to mind The Locust, Borbetomagus, The Sound That Ends Creation, and Naked City.

Holy smokes after doing stock I am now aware that we have one copy left of about 40 releases lol so this will definitely be an ongoing segment! Somehow we’re down to our last Amu Daria cassette from…2020? 2021? I think 2020. Incredible Malaysian screamo/emo-violence for fans of Virginia On Duty, Daighila, and Piri Reis!!!

now sold out:
Sans Visage tapes
Snag/Swallows Nest split tape
Respire all vinyl (tapes still in stock)
Young Mountain Lost Tree 12”

AMU DARIA - Amu Daria (tape)

from CA$9.00

AMU DARIA ‘Amu Daria‘ tape (ZB229)

For fans of: Virginia On Duty, (early) Yotsuya Kaidan and June Paik

In mid-2020 ZBR shipped over a bunch of tapes from essential Malaysian screamo label Utarid Tapes, and within that box of joy came some AMU DARIA tapes. We loved those tapes so much and we didn’t want North Americans to suffer the same fate as our bank account (shipping from Malaysia is expensive) that we’ve created 78 Zegema Beach Records’ editions of AMU DARIA’s absolutely phenomenal emo-violence EP debut. 7 tracks of dark, writhing, cathartic emo-violence.

Cassettes /78, 52 on Blue Flame Swirl, 11 on Silver, 10 mystery swirls and 5 test dips, all with fold-out/double-sided j-card w/lyrics and download code. 7 songs.

Variant:

Out Past The Rings 141 is for the Modern Rifles ‘LP + B-Sides’ cassette that we still have a couple copies in stock of. Ear art for the masses, kinda like Jimmy Eat World but heavier. So good.

Not Just A Phase did their 2022 staff picks and we’ve got some heaters on there along with the rest of the fire. Check it out by clicking on this text or the picture below.

Operation X-Ray recently played some new Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow on their show along with a ton of other sick bands include Mares Of Thrace and Dream, Inertia.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HELLBENDER = Our friend who played in Hive Mind gave us the lowdown on their new band and it’s a noisy riot.
