The new Gravess EP ‘losing everything that makes life beautiful’ is out! Only 100 copies were made and we’ve got 30 spread across our three stores. This is a phenomenal EP with some seriously killer tracks. Be sure to check it out and snag one if interested, as I don’t expect them to be around for long!

Coup D’état has a new lyrical music video for “The Cost of Playing It Cool” and it’s dope! Speaking of dope their new EP is just that! Inferior at foosball but top-notch Vancouver Island skramz.

This is a friendly reminder that US out of stock distro is still available in the Canada store, and once shipping is converted the price is within a few dollars of the US store shipping so if you are being hesitant…don’t be! We likely won’t be getting more of these anytime soon so stock up while you can!!!

Sear’s new ‘O Merciful’ got some love from No Clean Singing. This band features a member of To Forget and is a wicked combo of screamo, black metal, post hardcore, and condensed doom. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam/buy one of the last few 12”s below!

This is the last reminder about the Mourn Recif show coming up this Saturday as it’s our first in nearly 3 months and likely our last show until we get to play ZBR Fest 2026 (oopsie, spoiler!). We’ll have tapes and cds but are definitely almost out of some of the tape variants. Check out a video of a new song below (at the same venue this new show is at!) as we’re playing almost all new material and it’s much heavier than our old stuff.

Operation X-Ray did an extensive roundup of shoegaze releases from the year and two Softseed bands made the cut including Mieke (12”s at the plant) and Bok Suna (12”s linked below).

There is a final copy of Komuso’s final EP ‘Luck Will Be On Your Side This Week’ on 1st press 7” (the ones that were lost in the mail, and we never recouped that $800, this was graciously given to us with the 2nd press by the other label) so consider this your final warning cuz that band is dead and will not be repressed. And that, my friends, is Today’s Last Fucking Copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

KOMUSŌ - Luck Will Be On Your Side This Week (7"EP)

from CA$8.00

LAST THREE COPIES!!! Unlikely to be made again!!!!

KOMUSŌ - Luck Will Be On Your Side This Week 7"EP (ZBR130)

For fans of: Yaphet Kotto, Slint and Hue.

Here’s an unreal follow up to the Japanese emo-violence foursome KOMUSŌ’s debut cassette EP, this time housing three songs of much chiller, post-rock and post-hardcore vibes. You’ve got a wicked instrumental jam, a sung lullaby and then a screamy, solo-driven closer. Some of the jammiest and sickest stuff we’ve heard in ages. Featuring members of: Cape Light, 5000, No Omega, Careless, etc.

7" vinyl on black /149 and clear /151 with insert and ZBR sticker. (100 of first press lost by German DHL) This is the second pressing /200, 100 black and the rest a random assortment of colors. Download code included. 3 tracks.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NICOLE DOLLANGANGER = The most important artist of the last decade, hands down, says CanaDave. New song!

Mahria 12”s release tomorrow. 12 years in the making!!! 50 copies on clear and 50 on black. There’s been a lot of interest in these already so please be there nice and early for the 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST drop on Tuesday April 1st! Sorry to all that were confused by our…let’s be honest, confusing posting. Tapes yesterday. Info today. Sale tomorrow. Bam.

Coma Of Eris tapes are ready to ship! These just went live a few hours ago and ended up on some beautiful variants. We only have about 30 across both stores and bandcamp, with Middle Man taking only about 10.

Satsuma has been dominating our bandcamp sales, but for whatever reason people aren’t following the links to the store copies which are CHEAPER! Even shipping is cheaper. Buy from the bandcamp if you’d like but there are more variants in the stores. Links to the stores are UNDER the bandcamp copies as well as directly to the Canada store copies here OR the U.S.A. store copies here.

CanaDave finished up the Ashen Hands tapes a week or so ago and they look pretty sick. Pictured above, linked below, this new emo-violence EP is top-fucking-notch stuff from Italy.

Avery Friedman 12” pre-orders went live on Friday. In late July we’ll be shipping out /100 clear blue and /25 stupid fancy. Truly gorgeous indie rock from Brooklyn, New York. There’s a piece for the New Thing premiere linked to this text and the picture above. Check it out, and there’s a podcast comin’!

Naufraage had a premiere for their first single from the forthcoming Tomb Tree cassette via Idioteq.com which you can listen to by click the picture above or this text. Wicked blackened screamo from Europe.

Operation X-Ray played some Satsuma and Ashen Hands on their newest episode. Thanks Andre <3

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NOVERTE = This new EP slaps. We were gonna help but we can only do so much. So freaking good.
