Oh shit yo the final T-shirts etc. sale just went up so I’m all outta shirts for sale. I cut down my personal collection from almost 200 to just over 50 so there’s some insanely rare/awesome shit in there. Some cheap…some not so much lol. Click on this text to go to the Shirts section of the store. Remember, each order by July 6th gets a free Zampler #27!!!

Everything Is Noise included the new Mal Criado album ‘Ni Todo La Tierra Entera’ that was released a month ago on Tomb Tree in their monthly blast! Click on the pic above or this text to go there, jam/buy below!

Gus (bass/vocals) from Ostraca joined me on the most recent OMSB Podcast! Check it out, we talked about a bunch of stuff including their sick new record (embedded below), bands that helped form him, his musical journey, and more! Click on this text for the full blog post or just listen/download the podcast above.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to another CanaDave (now just Dave) release, as I am down to the final Apostles Of Eris x Encarsia split cassette. Arguably some of the best AOE material and pretty much the only proper release from the prog skramz gods Encarsia. This will not be made again. Snag it now below or forever hold your peace.

APOSTLES OF ERIS + ENCARSIA - Split (cassette)

APOSTLES OF ERIS + ENCARSIA - Split (cassette)

from CA$10.00

APOSTLES OF ERIS + ENCARSIA ‘Split‘ tape (ZB276)

For fans of: Via Fondo, Majorel, Edhochuli, and Leer

After CanaDave heard the early Encarsia material he flipped his lid and asked the band to do a split with Jesse Mowery and their Apostles Of Eris project. The result is a six-song blast through mega riffage, soaring solos, and shrieky screams supplied by both bands. Imagine Via Fondo meets Cease Upon The Capitol for AOE (also featuring Sammy from Warren Of Ohms on vocals!) and anything mathy/amazing for Encarsia. Art by Joshua Criss @robotarmart.

Cassettes /110 breakdown:
Golden Afterburner Swirl (/70)
Currency of God aka Shit Brick (/25)
Test Dip w/matching swirl case (/5)

All tapes come with two-sided j-card. 3 songs by each band.

Variant:

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIEKE = This Kiwi all-star just released another new jam, and I have 12”LP for ‘Frau Eva’ on Softseed Music so you can snag it directly from this store!

MIEKE - Frau Eva (12")

CA$40.00

For fans of: Smush, Julie, Bok Suna, and Mage Tears.

I am beyond stoked to announce the pressing of one of my favourite 2025 releases, New Zealand's MIEKE (pronounced "ME-kah") and her genre-bending 'frau eva' full length. This sophomore full length houses 15 songs that range from experimental ("Intro: the garage splits in two") to shoegaze ("Nuclear") to ethereal beauty ("Forest"). The art for this is incredible and includes a full-color inner-sleeve with lyrics. Easily one of the most exciting artists releasing today! And you can catch her at ZBR Fest 2026 in Vancouver as well as her band Wallflower!!!

12”s /243 on clear with six-colour splatter + 5 test presses, includes new art with printed inner sleeve and download code.

2026 - 2 - 16 /// Mercy Necromancy's 'Cruel' released on vinyl!

February 16, 2026 by David Norman

Mercy Necromancy’s ‘Fallen’ and ‘Cruel’ EPs are now housed on one vinyl 12”! Softseed Music made 111 of these so please go check it out and snag one if you like Dollanganger, Grimes, Del Rey, Cain, etc. Minimal instrumentals under the voice of an angel.

Well shit ZBR Fest is getting pretty goddamned close. So let’s go through the bands playing, shall we? We’ll call this the ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. Yeah, that only took like 10 minutes to think up, lol.

For years Massa Nera was the ZBR Fest mainstay, but after they had to pull out of 2024’s fest it’s been The Caution Children who have taken up the mantle. Bringing everyone together in the best possible way, these Florida all-stars were phenomenal in both 2024 (linked here) and 2025 (embedded above), so it was a no-brainer giving these dudes the ZBR Fest title and inviting them back for a third year in a row.

We are super excited to announce the release of Carrion Spring’s new album ‘Those We Have Lost And Continue To Lose’ which will drop on March 6th, 2026! The 12” vinyl /250 are on the way to us and should be in hand a week before the release so we’ll have some nice pics for ya as soon as possible. Jam a new jam below. More info soon!!!

ZBR is releasing the next Dagerman 12”LP ‘Di fronte a noi il nulla’ on March 20th. The first single “Caino” is available to stream/download above. Wicked Italian screamo, baby! We have some 12”s from their debut LP below if you wanna scope. For fans of La Quiete, Raein, Ojne, etc.

Soastaphrenas’ second single is upon us. This band is ex-Spoiled and kicks serious ass whilst also charting new territory. Exciting stuff! Full release is likely early April and Tomb Tree will have 30 copies.

Maximum Rock’n’Roll had Sutras make their list (Zuzanna’s list) which is sick, but I honestly don’t know ANY of the other bands lol. I’m in the screamo dungeon, baby. Tapes still available below. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list.

In a band touring near Italy July 17th and 18th in Northern Italy? Hit me up for a possible fest invitation!!!

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to another really early Zibbur release (number 39 to be exact) which is the Secret Smoker x Alarms And Controls split 7”. This won’t be repressed as I don’t think either band is even active anymore. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: WITH ONE EXCEPTION x CHIGAKI DEATH METRO = This split is great, the first half is dirty/chunky and the second half is sick emo-violence.

2026 - 2 - 13 /// ZBR Fest 2026 tickets are live + Carrion Spring 12"!

February 13, 2026 by David Norman

ZBR Fest lineup announced and tickets are live! The cap on this year’s fest in Vancouver is less than 200 so we’re looking at a pretty intimate time. Tickets are going fast, get’em at zbrfest.com

Our next big ZBR-only release is the next Carrion Spring full length 12” titled ‘those we’ve lost and continue to lose’ and it releases in full on March 6th, 2026 via 250 records. We won’t spoil the variant but it looks pretty fucking sick. You can scope the music video for “Pocket Full of Poseurs” from the album below!

Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket’s debut 12”LP is finally back in press thanks to Moment Of Collapse and yours truly (but mostly Moment Of Collapse) as we only have 30 copies spread across our three stores. Phenomenal post-everything screamo from Sweden featuring a member of The Khayembii Communique.

CanaDave had a podcast with Mercy Necromancy right before a special surprise which happens on Monday. If you like ethereal, dreamy, dark-yet-beautiful singer/songwriter stuff you will fall in love with this artist (like I did!) and therefore you should buy a 12” copy of ‘Fallen’ before they’re all gone. All links in the full podcast post can be accessed by this text.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to ZBR006, one of the very first releases we did. I think we did like 600+ 7”s and immediately afterward Germany’s Amber broke up and these vinyl just sat around. Now it’s more than a decade after it’s release and I’m down to the final copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LONELYISANEYESORE = Wicked new EP from this band on Vamonos Records!

2025 - 08 - 01 /// ZBR fest 2025 videos & Shoganai released

August 01, 2025 by David Norman

Shoganai’s debut EP was released on cassette by yours truly earlier this week to much acclaim. The self-titled came out in 2024 but we love it so much that we had to make a run of it. Only 53 made, for fans of Mahria, Blind Girls, and New Forms.

Serrate’s debut 12”LP ‘even the wind sounds dead’ officially announced! This absolutely ridiculous album is gonna blow people away as it combines the metallic hardcore of Converge and Crossed with the screamo of Orchid. Not sold yet? Jam that first single below, and prep yourself for the next single that releases on Monday through Not Just A Phase.

Nuvolascura continues to be reviewed and slobbered over by blogs, the latest saliva pool comes from Sputnik Music which you can access by clicking on the pic above or this text.

By the way, cds are back in stock in the US store! We had misplaced a box but it hath been found. These are gonna go fast so snag immediately by clicking on this text!

Heavy Blog Is Heavy gave three ZBR albums a nod on their Best Of Screamo 2025 including Nuvolascura, Othiel, and Crossed. Check out the full list by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Mourn Recif played their last show with OG bassist Ron, and don’t have any more shows lined up till September. You can check out a new song in the video embed above, as well as new Coup D’etat, Saoirse Dream, and Can Of Bliss. Debut EP below.

CanaDave takes part on five of the eight songs from the new Sallow Moth 12”LP, and it was just released! Snag a record before they’re gone.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: 13am = The first song from this band is fantastic. More comin’!

A friend of mine is going through a tough time, if you have any extra money to help out someone in need then please check out this GoFundMe! Click on the pic below or this text to go there.
