Widowdusk tape stragglers go up tomorrow!

May 13, 2024 by David Norman

Widowdusk tapes went up already and sold the fuck out, but we wanted to play it safe and kept back a few of each variant. So we’ll put those up for sale tomorrow May 14th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST for those who didn’t find out in time or just plain missed out. There were some comments about how we were sold out immediately but PLEASE remember that Bandcamp is not our primary store, we have about 75% of all stock in the US store, followed by 15% for the Canada/International store, and 10% for Bandcamp.

Niboowin’s ‘Giving In’ has been receiving high praise, and our bundles have almost bled us dry of their first output aka the ‘Breathing’ 12”LP. The recently band spoke with Moshpit Nation and gave the story of how they had to record some of the songs for ‘Giving In’ three fuckin’ times! Read it via pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

Demersal had a great review from Rebel Noise! If you are itching for more Telos (that band broke up btw) then Demersal is the closest you’re gonna get, but holy smokes are they their own beast. Boasting lullaby post-rock to searing metallic hardcore, these 12 tracks have it all. Click on this text for the review. Buy/jam below.

Operation X-Ray covered our newest Niboowin and Demesal releases plus a ton more!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: GIL CERRONE + LETTERBOMBS split = Woah this came outta nowhere and rocked my face! Thanks No Funeral <3

2024 - 03 - 29 /// Herlovebeheadsdaisies and Missouri Executive Order 44 added!

March 29, 2024 by David Norman

Fest update! Onelinedrawing and Burial Etiquette will be unable to make it this year (mad bummer), but fret not because we’ve added Herlovebheadsdaisies (Sunday) and Missouri Executive Order 44 (Saturday)!!! Click on that pic above to get some tickets!

Just a heads up, there will be no Demersal pre-orders for Tomb Tree/ZBR, just like Crossed, we’ll wait until the release and we have them in hand. Demersal is set for May 10th, 2024.

The next Tomb Tree release is the stellar new screamo band .22LR who contains members of Low Before The Breeze, Less Dead, and Jornada Del Meurto (to name just a few) with a new song premiering over at Idioteq.com. Full release is April 2nd!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go there.

Lower Automation had that “Life Insurance” premiere at Ghost Cult Mag, with their new EP ‘Welcome To My Deathbed’ on May 20th, 2024. There’s more info in the post linked here by clicking on this text. Jam it below!

The first annual Screamo Awards goes live on the 30th of March! Interviews done by our very own CanaDave. Youtube link goes live when it says it does, but you can access the link below now so you can save it.

Basque had an excellent review from Cave Dweller Music, who really gets this Kitchener four-piece. The seven songs are truly something special and are not likenable (not a word, I know) to any other bands. Click on this text or the pic above to read it in full. Jam/buy our last copies below!

Widowdusk was played on the newest Operation X-Ray, for which there will likely be another new episode tonight so stay tuned!

Moshpit Nation’s Best of February includes Gxlllium!, Onewaymirror, and Volp among many others. Click on this text or the pic above to see a monstrous amount of killer releases.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MY HEART, YOUR HANDS = New rampagin’ from this band who is heavily influenced by Me And Him Call It Us.

We still have New Forms 12”s so snag one below!

CanaDave’s Softseed Music label released the Social Caterpillar 12”LP for ‘Alphabet Crown’ in 2023 and it showed up on Everything Is Noise’s list, beating out every ZBR and Tomb Tree release! Yeah…it’s really fucking good! We got some in this store but feel free to support Softseed or the band directly. Click on the pic above or this text for the full list, and jam/buy below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: WASSEE POSSE = Adrian (Drin) from Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow (drums) also makes amazing skate videos. Check out the second installment of Wassee Posse below which features a Burial Etiquette jam during Drin’s ride (8:28)!

Closet Witch came out on Friday and you should definitely get one. Arguably album of the year. Fucking amazing shit. Plus the band is hiatus as of the release so extra support is always appreciated. Moshpit Nation did a piece about it which you can check out by clicking the picture above or this text. Thank you my friends!

CanaDave did a new Out Past the Rings for the first Snag 12”LP titled ‘Snag’. It’s long sold out (cuz it rules), so if you are hankering for something else Snag maybe check this out as there’s some decent info amidst a lotta bullshit lol.

Operation X-Ray is always on the ball, this time playing our homies Closet Witch and Llewelyn.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: RILE = Awesome mathy/metallic hardcore from Utah. Fans of Coarse, The Chariot, Rotting In Dirt, and Botch should dig this. I sure as hell do.

Today we revealed the first single from Closet Witch’s new album ‘Chiaroscuro’. There will be a music video releasing next week along with 12” pre-orders on October 16th. The full release is November 3rd. This thing is MENACING, to say the least. Jam it and pre-order the digitals below!
