Final SkramzCave now + Zampler #26 tomorrow!

December 30, 2025 by David Norman

CanaDave’s SkramzCave is now open for 24 hours. There’s a rare vinyl/tape room here and another super sale room here. Tons of amazing stuff up there! The second this closes on December 31st at 9am PST the Zampler #26 will release with orders of $20+ getting a free Zampler cd!!! Happy end of 2025!

Softseed Music released the Magana double EP cassette for ‘Bad News’ and ‘Golden Tongue’ yesterday so if you like your music breathtakingly gorgeous and a bit quirky, this is for you. Only 26 copies were made with less than 20 going up for sale. For fans of Squirrel Flower, Avery Friedman, Cat Power, etc.

As stated above Zampler #26 comes out tomorrow the 31st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. I’m making cds again for this one because the art is just so fucking sick (made by Jackson Schott who did the Terry Green cover for ‘Provisional Living’) and is available to all who make an order between 9am PST on the 31st and 9am PST on January 1st. You’ll find 28 songs including six previously unreleased tracks from the likes of Concealer, Vibora, Gravess, Limbs, and more!

Sear’s music video for “Judy” (the opening track from ‘O Merciful’ which releases January 12th) was premiered on OMSB yesterday. It’s embedded below but if you click on the pic above or this text you’ll be linked to the full premiere post with additional info, links, and some words from the band.

Avery Friedman had a live set on WNYU that you should scope! 17 minutes worth of awesomeness and Softseed still has some lovely Stupid Fancy vinyl in stock!

I found out we have a single copy of ‘Heartfelt Entries’ by Concealer so that is today’s Last Fucking Copy. Their debut 12”LP is on the horizon and HOLY FUCK is it incredible. Spring 2026 suckas. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: поступь = Wicked Russian emo-violence in the vein of Lucidity and Qatsi.

Concealer is getting mad love, both from The Pitch of Discontent (starts at 15:49 above) and Get Alternative (linked to this text) in both weekly roundups. Jam/buy it below, tapes are gettin’ low and most variants only have 1-2 copies left (if they aren’t already sold out).

Febuary has…I think…officially got back together. At the very least they played a reunion show and we’ve got 200 more cds comin’ your way in early December so if you missed this, NOW IS THE TIME. Click on this text to go to the full review and jam that shit below.

Envy/Love was the subject of a Youtube video from a channel I’d never seen before. They discuss it and play two tracks, and if you need it in English you can auto-generate subtitles. We started with 333 copies and we’re down to our last 30 now!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DRIVEYOURPLOWOVERTHEBONESOFTHEDEAD = My friends over here in Vancouver just released the best emo-violence record of 2024, hands down.
