Onewaymirror released their debut full length yesterday to a lotta people freaking out, as they should. Vinyl coming from Tomb Tree this December!

The single-albumed Olam was the subject of our most recent Out Past the Rings. Oooooooooooollllaaaaaaaaaammmmmmm. Some tapes still in stock. Listen to ‘I Will Guide Thy Hand’ here.

To Forget received an excellent review from This Noise Is Ours, so click on this text or the pic above to go there. We’ve also got some 7” lathes still in stock (and yes they really do sound like regular vinyl) so nab those below.

The Coma Regalia cover compilation cassette got some love over at Brooklyn Vegan for their new songs out on that particular day. Tapes are gettin’ low, let’s get that money to Edie! Click on the pic above or this text for the article, and/or jam/buy it below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VOTIVE = We’ve got a tape in each store from this powerhouse featuring members of Gas Up Yr. Hearse!, Respire, Foxmoulder, etc.

2023 - 02 - 28 /// Letterbombs is out!

The new Letterbombs EP is out on Tomb Tree and simultaneously 1) kicks ass 2) is thematically/lyrically important 3) looks awesome. Includes translated lyric sheet and numbered /26!!!

CanaDave was interviewed about ZBR Fest 2023 by none other than Chicago-based Invisible Oranges. He speaks about doing the fests over a couple of years, who he’s most excited to see, if we’ll do another Canadian fest, and what you can expect from this year’s ridiculousness (including battle-set definition). Click on this text or the pic below to go to the interview.

Lower Automation was the most recent guest on The Cast That Ends Creation. The 12” continues to do well and if their last LP is any indication we will likely be sold out at some point during 2023. Check out the album here!

CanaDave buckled down and did another Out Past the Rings for the sold out 4-way split from 2019 titled ‘Hymnes aux désarrois de la peau‘. Listen to the album here.

Surprise! The new Blind Girls 12”LP ‘The Weight of Everything’ just dropped a premiere of the opening jam via Brooklyn Vegan!

ZBR is opting out of pre-orders and ours will go live on March 26th, 2022 to coincide with the digital release.

I have to keep telling people, so here it goes again March 12th is the next rebalance. March 12th. 2022. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST so many mages, tests, sold out releases and general euphoria.
