Our lost box of Clay Birds went back up on the Bandcamp store, but I’ve moved a couple of extra copies to all stores. U.S. store linked here. Canada/International store linked here. Bandcamp below.

Sininen’s ‘I was recently upset’ was just released on Tomb Tree. Featuring two members of Via Fondo, the dense, gorgeous, driving, and atmospheric screamo is second to none.

Shoganai will be our next release on Tuesday July 29th via 53 cassettes, pictured below. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Fans of Nuvolascura, New Forms, Mahria, and Blind Girls will be all the fuck over this.

SALLOW MOTH’s ‘Mossbane Lantern’ is the brainchild of Garry Brents of Cara Neir and Gonemage fame (and a bunch of other amazing bands too), and our very own CanaDave shows up on five of the eight tracks. Check out the single below and snag a 12” copy if you’re so inclined.

A friend of mine is going through a tough time, if you have any extra money to help out someone in need then please check out this GoFundMe! Click on the pic below or this text to go there.

Operation X-Ray played those sweet, sweet jams and Piri Reis was played yet again. Revisiting this album always rocks. Tapes in stock!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: A RECORDED DAWN / HOSE = Featuring our very own Josh from Mourn Recif in both bands! Awesome split, ARD above and Hose below.

2025 - 04 - 08 /// Dagerman 12"s + Lord Wrought tapes!

April 08, 2025 by David Norman

Dagerman’s debut 12”LP ‘tragedie | VIVERE’ is officially shipping, as we got 40 of the 300 copies to spread across three stores so don’t expect them to hang around for too long. Sensational Italian screamo of the heavier variety, whilst still retaining a strong sense of dynamics and melody. Fans of Raein, La Quiete, Vibora, and Ojne need to scope this immediately.

'Mortis' by LORD WROUGHT is now on the Tomb Tree bandcamp with tapes shipping immediately. Their blend of hardcore, metal, sludge, and dare I say screamo is vicious, unrelenting, and downright evil. Oh and the tapes look sick. For fans of: Crossed, Crestfallen, and Portrayal Of Guilt.

Crossed was interviewed by Rockzone Mag and they are currently bouncing around Europe on tour. Click on the picture above for the interview, check out the tour dates below, and jam/buy that shit further down. 12”s should be arriving this month but we currently don’t have tracking.

Mourn Recif played at the final Linden House show this past Saturday and it was a blast. It was the first show with our new guitarist Josh who ran the house and also spends time in A Recorded Dawn (who also played) and Hose. Above you can see clips from the aforementioned bands as well as Emma Goldman and Coup D’etat, and below you can scope the full Mourn Recif set. I would personally recommend from Deers onward but you do you.

Emma Goldman has their release show on May 9th! Hopefully I’ll be there slingin’ extra records but I gotta see if I survive the ZBR Fest trip. Wicked bands, sick poster, amazing release, fantastic people. The Grind gave them some love which you can check out by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Operation X-Ray continues their excellent coverage of multiple scenes and genres, including Blue Youth, Mahria, Dagerman, and Satsuma in last week’s episode.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MERCY TIES = Back after a lengthy break, this group turned many an ear last week with this amazing comeback full length! Out now on The Ghost Is Clear. <3

Click here for the full premiere including some notes from the band!

2025 - 04 - 04 /// Blue Youth music video + Dagerman 12"s on Monday!

April 04, 2025 by David Norman

Hopefully ya didn’t sleep on Mahria, cuz that shit sold out.

Our next release is the incredible Italian screamo debut from Dagerman on 12”LP this Monday April 7th (9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST) followed by Canadian noise rock/post-hardcore Blue Youth sophomore 12”LP on April 15th. Sinema emocore/metalcore 12”s for ‘After the Flatline’ drop and immediately sell out on April 22nd, followed by the epic first full length from the long-running BC screamo/emo-violence band Emma Goldman on April 28th.

Click on this text or the pic above to go to the Everything Is Noise premiere for the new Blue Youth song/music video. Embed below.

Rockambula touched on both our new Crossed and Satsuma releases. There’s a lotta gold in there, click on the pic above or this text to go to the full roundoup.

Sutras got their second (of three) song premieres via Everything Is Noise for “Karma to Burn”. Their new six-song EP ‘The Crisis of Existence’ releases in full on April 16th!!! Part Modern Life Is War, part Touche Amore, and part Envy, this thing is powerful in a peaceful sense. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere.

This epic Emma Goldman show is going down tomorrow and CanaDave will be there slingin’ records, including the one and only test press available to the public. Got $50? It’s yours. Also, Mourn Recif is playing and we’re closing with our brand new jam and it goes harder than anything we’ve ever played.

Lord Wrought’s ‘Mortis’ EP releases on Tomb Tree this Tuesday April 8th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on a small run of 54 gorgeous cassettes. This Vancouver-based hardcore/grind/metalcore/screamo crossover blew me away live so picking up the pressing from Yetzer Hara Records who has moved into a specific straight-edge hardcore pocket after a brief hiatus.

Dead Hour Noise got the This Noise Is Ours treatment in a wicked track-by-track review post. We expect these 12”s in sometime this month so we’ll be posting promos as soon as we have’em, but pre-orders are up now if you can’t wait! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: BOON = Incredible new stuff from Toronto that I heard only because a member shot it over. Wicked!!!

2025 - 03 - 20 /// Crossed 12"s tomorrow + Satsuma premiere

March 20, 2025 by David Norman

The new Crossed 12”s and digitals for ‘Realismo Autismo’ releases tonight at 9pm PST / 11pm CST / 12am EST. I gotta say, I’ve loved this band since its inception, but good lord this third LP is flawless. Super heavy, super screamy, super amazing. You can jam two songs below on the band’s bandcamp.

The Shibuya 12” pre-orders went live last week, and as we’re only getting 20-ish copies we’re already half sold out and it doesn’t even release in full till May 2nd, so if you dig those two released tracks on their bandcamp you should pick one up immediately. Incredible Spanish skramz. Buy links below:

U.S.A. store = https://www.zbrusa.com/products/tt130

Canada/International store = https://www.zegemabeachrecords.com/tomb-tree-tapes/tt130

Satsuma got their final premiere via Brooklyn Vegan yesterday. The full release is March 28th on 100 tapes which CanaDave is currently dipping. Promo pics coming next week. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere. You can jam the other single below.

Dead Hour Noise got some very nice words from Not Just A Phase, and the 12”s should arrive next month! Hop on the dead train, baby. Click on the pic above or this text for the full review. Jam/buy below.

Process // Sleep released digitally the other day but we’ve got tapes coming on Tomb Tree, we’re just waiting on the j-card and then it should be 4-6 from that time…so mid-May I reckon. Jam it below now.

CanaDave will be playing the Emma Goldman show with Mourn Recif featuring a new lineup and much heavier sound. Jam the most recent single below, but we have another one coming next week!

Tetola93 got some love from Lambgoat in their “5 Albums to Introduce You to Japanese Screamo”. We got restocked last year and most are already gone, so pick one up below after checking out the full list by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Someone wrote this interesting article “What even is skramz?” which is an interesting take from someone who is just entering the screamo room. They’ve definitely hit some wicked bands already. Click on the pic above or this text to go there, and jam the album that opened the door for them below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE = First single from their upcoming album! This slaps.
