April schedule

Tuesday April 14th = DENTAL OFFICE PARKING 3”cd (Tomb Tree) glitchy screamo by John of Usurp Synapse

Friday April 17th = NSIXHUNDRED cassettes (Zegema Beach) California breakdown mathcore not unlike Hayworth and Gxllium!

Friday April 24th = DRIVE YOUR PLOW OVER THE BONES OF THE DEAD cds (Zegema Beach) Vancouver legends compilation featuring all of the Jens material (aka everything recorded to date)

Friday May 1st = FINGERSWOVENTOGETHER 12” (Zegema Beach)
Friday May 1st = DETACH THE ISLANDS cassettes (Tomb Tree)

Also in May: Orphan Donor, I.O., Sungaze, Letterstoyou, and Hillsboro!!!

The new Fainting Dreams EP ‘The Silence of Birds That Rarely Sing’ is out! We already moved a lot of tapes so snag one if it tickles your fancy. The incredible mixture of gorgeous bits and crushing, posty black metal is untouchable but will definitely appease fans of Oathbreaker, Chelsea Wolfe, Shedfromthebody, and Deafheaven.

Vibora has arrived and started shipping, Canada/International orders should start moving mid-April (cuz we gotta send them from the US store to Canada still). US restock of 3 copies per variant, 1st record still in stock.

Carrion Spring are today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature! Featuring my good friend Adam and a host of other fantastic people, this Portland, Oregon band has been kicking it for almost two decades and recently released a phenomenal album that was recorded by Kurt Ballou of Converge! There’s a clip of them at the ZBR Fest 2024 above, their new album embedded below, and you can click on this text to get tickets to the fest !!!

Operation X-Ray Dental Office Parking premiere of “Ninja Troll” as well as Concealer, Soastasphrenas, Clout Funeral and Fainting Dreams! Dental Office Parking 3” cds release on April 14th on Tomb Tree, you can scope a music video above!

Dead Internet sent me this live cover of Loftus’ “Next Step, New Boundary” and it slaps. Check it out and then buy the album.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes all the way back to the second ZBR release and first one that was in hand. We sold out years abo but I had kept a copy of each variant of every release for a long time, before recently deciding to just keep a single copy. So this used to by mine but now it can be yours! Shall not be repressed. No more are available. It looks amazing. Snag it below or forever hold your peace.

Dagerman and Carrion Spring came in on The Noise of March via Everything Is Noise. That new Dagerman moved very quickly along with their first 12”LP, so I recommend snagging those asap! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list, jam/buy Dagerman below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CASSUS = This album has been in the making for almost a freakin’ decade. And yes, it was worth the wait.

2022 - 05 - 07 /// It's Hayworth!

May 07, 2022 by David Norman

If you love Hayworth and didn’t get all those ‘License To Bill’ hints then shame on you. If you still don’t know what I’m talking about, Hayworth’s first demo was kinda lost to the sands of time. No masters. Only 25 cdrs made. Not on bandcamp or streaming services. So after badgering the band for a few years they finally agreed to releasing these fantastic early songs on cassette. We had Joni from Curry Lands clean up and remaster the mp3s and Kyle from Heathen Hand do the updated art and then made 250 cassettes across some of our nicest tapes ever. More news coming early next week including variants.

The tapes release simultaneously with Loftus on Friday May 13th, 2022 at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Piet Onthel released yesterday and it was already picked up by Stereogum so check the review by clicking on this text or jam those five fiery jam below.

Azzacov releases tomorrow via Tomb Tree, Middle Man, and Coxinha Records early in the morning, so be prepared to have a violent and emotional Sunday morning.

If you missed the Orphaned ‘Hate Has Consequences’ take a listen because the tapes arrived yesterday and I’m already done all the dipping so they’ll start shipping out next week. We also got 5 overs so I will made an overs variant /5 that will go up next week when they are ready to ship. Devastating shit, good god.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: GLARUS = Ex-Big Machine, this post-rock/hardcore/metal is pretty fuckin’ big, too. And dark. And awesome. FFO: Isis, Across Tundras, Punchline Hunting Season, Fall Of Efrafa, etc.

2022 - 04 - 29 /// Golden ticket time!!!

April 29, 2022 by David Norman

Apostles Of Eris and Gossip’s split 12” ‘Drone and Cull’ was released a few days ago and we’re already about 75% sold out. There are only 111 so we don’t expect them to sit around too long. Check it out below.

We got the email today! Loftus is done!!! We’ll have it in hand early/mid-May and shipping late May (inserts/shipping to Canada/etc.) with an official release/order going down at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on May 13th. We’ll have another very special surprise that day that we have yet to reveal, so you should probably budget for an additional cassette ;) Until then, if you have a golden ticket (these came in the 10 golden discography tapes, loooooong sold out) please email or message us before the end of the day on May 10th to lock in your purchase of the ‘Hugs and Drugs’ 12” mage.

The Mathcore Index podcast aka Matchcast gave some props to our Australian besties Blind Girls. Check it out and nab a 12” before I run out of these oranges!

No Echo premiered the first single off of ‘Hate Has Consequences’, the new cassette from Cleveland’s Orphaned. It’s a jackhammer to the brain. Tape pre-orders open May 1st!!! I can’t embed that sucka so click on this text to go to No Echo.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COVEN = Awesome French screamo! 12”s in our distro/new items/specials page!
