Woah with Instagram and Facebook were down so I thought this was gonna be our only means of communication! Not the case.

Solvalou was released just a few minutes ago so check out the U.S. or Canada/International store and snag the variant you want now before they’re gone. I know it seems like we made a lot (128) but we only have about 50 copies!!!

OMSB Podcast had both Daves dissecting 2023 and laying out their top picks. Lotta ZBR? You betcha. Click on the text to go to the full post or just listen along below.

What March looks like!

ZEGEMA BEACH:
March 11th = PETTERSSON 'Ashen Plain' 12": 8 long years since this Austrian screamo band released an album, this return is very welcome as fans of Suis La Lune, Via Fondo, Trachimbrod, Vi Som Alskade, and deep, melodic, screamo with the densest of atmosphere will eat this up. Pressing on 300 red w/black swirl 12"s.

*semi-tentative*
March 18th = WIDOWDUSK 'Widowdusk' cassette/12"LP: The digital version of this release precedes the physicals by about two months. These California kids are screamo mutants, so much talent at such a young age. This new material is darker, faster, screamier, and way heavier. Cassettes in May (hopefully), 12"s mid-late summer.

March 25th = BURIAL ETIQUETTE 'Mise-en-scène' 12"LP: Years in the works, the Thunder Bay, Ontario band will release their debut LP after long jaunt with numerous splits, EPs, and compilation tracks. Their ethereal style balances screaming with singing and dips as much into emo as it does screamo. Gorgeous, cathartic, and fuckin' amazing. Pressing on 200 copies, 100 cornetto and 100 quad.

TOMB TREE:

March 15th = VOW 'Demo' cassette EP: Featuring Andy from Me, The Hideous Freak on vocals, this new Chicago throwdown hardcore band is the exact opposite of his solo material. Heavy, brooding, heavy, cathartic, and uhhhhh heavy. 4 songs on 70 tapes. For fans of Greedworm, (early) Left Behind, Pathos Departure, and Brothers.

March 22nd = BASQUE 'Pain Without Hope of Healing' cassette EP: The new project from Nate (Karloff, No Funeral Records) shows a very experimental and wild side of screamo, taking nods from These Arms Are Snakes, Hella, and screamo. Exceptional debut! 32 tapes with seven jams on each. Catch them at New Friends Fest 2024!

April 2nd (hey it’s almost March) = .22LR '.22lr' cassette EP: Featuring members of Low Before The Breeze and Less Dead doing short blasts of screamo/emo-violence. This is their debut and no one knows it's comin'. Except you. For fans of: Carrion Spring, Elle, and Wakhan Corridor. 70 tapes.
