Life’s groundbreaking ‘Demo 3’ was released back in 2020 but finally sees the light of day on beautiful orange 12”s this Friday! We’ve got the majority of the copies, and you’ll find more at Larry Records, Icorrupt Records, and Voice Of The Unheard Records. More info and proper promo pics coming soon!

Lucidity took off as we were hoping. It’s just so fucking good. We sold well over 50% in 24 hours (more like 75%) so don’t expect them to hang around much longer!

Alright so looks like Saturday April 1st and Sunday April 2nd will be the official two days that THE VAULT will be open for. It will end at 6pm PST on April 2nd when CanaDave will host the first and likely last ZBR Zaffle (that’s raffle with a Z and yes it does look stupid). THE VAULT will contain lots of long sold out ZBR stuff including super rare stuff that Dave was unnecessarily holding onto (including cassette test dips), while the raffle will include all of the golden items like test presses, handmade records, and wax mages. Raffle tickets go on sale tomorrow!!! Here are a few pics of some of the stuff…

Lucidity was posted about on Stereogum mere hours after it’s release. Probably 1) because it’s so sick and 2) because it’s so short, lol. Seriously though every song slaps and the records look incredible. Plus they’re limited to just 100! So many reasons. Click on the pic below or this text to go to the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIS SUEÑOS SON DE TU ADIÓS = Enzo came out with another emo-violence collection of awesomeness. 3 new jams, all sick.

Lucidity’s ‘The Minsk Sea’ is out. We love this album so goddamned much it’s nuts. But we also suffer from confidence issues, so if these 100 sell out we’ll press more. This band is ex-Smile To The Wind and have officially released a contender for album of the year, despite the entire thing fitting on one side of a 12”.

On Saturday April 1st and 2nd (no it’s not an April Fool’s joke) the Canada/International store (this one) is opening THE VAULT. What the heck is that? Well, good question. CanaDave has been uhhhhh…let’s say a “collector” (hoarder is more accurate) and kept one of every variant ever made for every Zegema Beach, Tomb Tree, and Softseed Music release. As we approach 500 releases CanaDave’s house is nearing maximum capacity, and with an impending mortgage refinancE - it’s now or never. The store will be open for the entire weekend aaaaaaaand it should be noted that the sale includes free shipping if you are coming to ZBR Fest 2023 in Chicago, just state in the NOTES section that you would like a shipping refund and will pick up the stuff in Chicago and I’ll refund you within 24 hours. But Dave what’s going to be available? Well, pretty much at least one variant of every release ever, including mages, test dips, test presses, rare variants, personal distro, and more!

Massa Nera was interviewed by LongLegsLongArms on (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) last week so you should definitely check that out! The band is buying most of our remaining tape stock for their lengthy summer tours, so if you are looking for one we recommend snagging one soon. Click on the picture above or this text for to go to the interview.

Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

I unearthed a first press SeeYouSpaceCowboy on black that I’ll leave in the store for another day before taking it out again. After that it’s getting Ebay’d so if that massive metalcore bands strikes your fancy then you better strike that buy button. Last ever copy, never getting repressed cuz the majors bought the rights to the songs.

now sold out:
Pictures Of June tape
Nhomme tape
Blind Girls everything is gone
