Thank You Driver premiere

October 26, 2022 by David Norman

Thank You Driver is releasing their ‘Nothing You Do Can Stop This’ cassette EP on ZBR November 6th through a Mathcore Index exclusive premiere. We’ll have 60-ish tapes and CanaDave is going to the release show (fb event linked here). Click on the pick to go straight to the full premiere!

Distro update tomorrow! Le Blast sent us a fresh round of restocks and about 7 new releases! Pictured below are the newbies, these will be up with the distro update in the Canada/International store and the U.S. store in 2-4 weeks. Both stores will have a ton of new ditro/restocks of other releases too including Icorrupt, Dingleberry, Relapse, and some randos!

I worked for an ungodly amount of time cranking out these To Be Gentle tapes for ‘It always hurts and one day it will win’ so here are the variants. Tomb Tree still has some left in our stores but I don’t expect them to last into 2023. Tomb Tree also just put it on their bandcamp!

Aeryn from Massa Nera was on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast with CanaDave so head on over to that by clicking on the pic above or this text. Gotta post that “April 7th” video again as she talks a lot about the meaning behind the lyrics!

CanaDave’s bestie Jesse Mowery was on The Unquiet Grave’s radio show and co-hosted the History of Screamo. It’s a truly amazing/accurate listen from the late 1980s to now, including our Trachimbrod to close it out! Click on this text to listen. It’s Episode 65 and titled “Waiting for the Crash”. We love you Jesse!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VOTIVE = Good god go listen to this fucking shit. Unreal!

2022 - 10 - 18 /// Song premiere tomorrow! (Lower Automation)

October 18, 2022 by David Norman

With a recent premiere on Brooklyn Vegan, we’re going right back to our friends there for a new Lower Automation song premiere tomorrow Wednesday October 19th! Make sure you check it out as the full album is only a little over a month away!

Massa Nera’s brand new song/music video for the first single “April 7th” from the upcoming cd/tape/12”LP ‘Derramar | Querer | Borrar‘ came out on Friday and got the screamo community fucking hyped. CHeck it out below and head over to Stereogum via this text link to read news about the release.

Soul Crusher (Sasha of Life In Vacuum, Kiken, and Congratulations) just premiered their debut EP. Jam it below or get all the order details in the full blog post, linked to this text. You can also go straight to the order page here.

Victor Shores premiered a new song on (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) from their first new album in 6 years. They’ve now dropped two music videos and this additional single, embedded below. Click on this text for the full premiere/info/etc.

The Lessener 12” was recently reviewed on This Noise Is Ours’s ZBR Roster series. Click on this text for the review or jam the digitals below…we’re out of 12”s!

Canada’s coast-to-coast punk radio show Operation X-Ray is bursting with bangers yet again. Besides stuff like Torche, Liturgy, Birds In Row, City Of Caterpillar, and Daniel Striped Tiger, Andre also played choice cuts from ZBR-related bands Massa Nera, Of Death, Virgin Mother.

Улыбайся Ветру - Illusions (12")

CA$23.50

ZBR088 Release date: Mar. 21st, 2018
For fans of: Louise Cyphre, Loma Prieta and Carrion Spring

Flabbergastingly good, this new 11-song 12"LP by Russia's Улыбайся Ветру (aka Smile To The Wind) titled 'Illusions' is a testament to chaotic, mathy, dual screaming hardcore. Seriously this is easily a contender for album of the year and fans of any technical, blazing screamo such as Loma Prieta, Neil Perry, Crowning, Louise Cyphre and Carrion Spring will likely be so happy they may soil themselves. Yep, it's that good. And the art is unreal, created by Ekaterina Zalesskaya. Released by Zegema Beach, Dead Tank, Trace In A Maze and Upwind Productions.

'Illusions' 12" vinyl on blue/300 with insert. 11 songs. Download code included.

Listen here:
https://zegemabeachrecords.bandcamp.com/album/illusions

Today’s Hiding In The Outpost features Russia’s Улыбайся Ветру and their astounding ‘Illusions’ 12”LP that was released back in 2018. The group then disbanded but fear not…we’ve got a surprise for you in 2023!

I recently did Out Past the Rings 127.5 aka Zampler #11 ‘Death From Above’. For some reason I had kept one of every colour variant (5) and only need one so if you order from this store you will have one included in your order for free. These are four years old and very hard to get, as of this post there are 3 freebies left.

Infall has another jam from their upcoming ‘Far’ cassette on Tomb Tree up for rocking-out purposes. I’ve been jamming this release more and more and it’s absolutely fantastic. Fans of Anna Sage, The Bled, Judas-era Ed Gein, Miverva Superduty, Stuntman, etc. will be all over this.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THANK YOU DRIVER = Keep your eye on this Canadian band. We sure are. Hint. Hint.
