2026 - 6 - 23 /// Mal Criado released + t-shirts on sale!

Well hot damn it must be summer. I looked in my closet a few weeks back and noticed I had almost 150 t-shirts. Seems like too many, right? Owning labels and doing distro and festivals generally sees me buying and being gifted shirts on a near monthly basis. I decided to thin it out to 50 shirts so here’s the first (major) batch of stuff that has been worn generally zero to 5 times (with a few being mainstays till I put on too much weight) and are all in very good to incredible condition AND they are super cheap (unless they’re super rare, but even then they are about the OG listing price).

There will be another sale next Friday when I go through on a final run inside my packed closet and part with my final 30 and get that thing down to a reasonable 45 shirts for myself.

A friends reminder that although the US store has temporarily closed, people in the U.S.A. can still order from our bandcamp and Canada store (I ship very quickly and include a bunch of free download codes), as shipping is quite cheap as after the exchange rate you’re looking at approximately:
$8.50US to ship a shirt
$11US to ship a 12”
$7.80US to ship a cassette

Below are just a few of the shirts that just went up! The shirt room of the store can be located by clicking on this text!

Mal Criado’s ‘Ni Todo La Tierra Entera’ released this past Friday on Tomb Tree! The 13 jams exude anger, dissatisfaction, and inequality at the horseshit system in place, all wrapped in a nasty powerviolence tortilla. Mmmm, so good!

Orphan Donor’s recent album ‘Ailments’ continues to ruin brains around the globe. The always reliable Everything Is Noise gave an excellent review, so check that out and snag a cd while you’re at it. Click on the pic above or this text to go to read the article in full, but here’s a nice little quote below from the review:

On this record, Orphan Donor is a heaving, lumbering lump of organic sound matter, moving along like a giant deformed creature floating down a river of molten lava. And that perfect mental image owes a huge deal to James Revelle, the artist responsible for the band’s unique visual identity since 2020. Think Mike Diana on a bad acid trip; not the go-to art direction for a self prescribed skramz band, but nothing that Orphan Donor does is run of the mill.

Fingerswoventogether were featured on Boolin Tunes as they picked up on the awesomeness that is ‘As The Lie Became Truth’. We have like three 10”s left then they’re gonezo! Click on the pic above or this text for the review, jam/buy below.

For a few years I had the idea of doing the Eight Feet Under split series. It would contain bands from four countries, be two bands from each country, thus totaling eight bands over two 12”s, each supplying an EPs worth of material. The first one was fucking amazing, but the second installment had some bands drop and I just kinda axed it. Truly a bummer. I do have one last copy of the first and only edition of this series which contains Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket, Via Fondo, Sleeper Wave, Youth Novel, The World That Summer, Nous Etions, Lamantide, and Pastel - thus making it today’s Last Fucking Copy! Snag it now below or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LORRREL = Hot damn this new EP smacks!

2024 - 02 - 02 /// Tristan Tzara releases, Volp next, Telos on sale :(

Tristan Tzara’s ‘discography’ released two days ago with the mages and tacos immediately selling out, with the random color following (as we currently have 4 left), with black dwindling after that and a handful of metallic reds that should be in stock at least until summer. So if you’re picky I wouldn’t wait, but if metallic red is your game there’s no massive rush <3 Remember European friends can order from Dog Knights and Voice Of The Unheard. Shove Records in Italy will also get at least 10 copies in the near future.

Jam the album here!

Telos released an truly incredible album…then they broke up. Absolutely gutted. We’ve put the tapes on sale for the next week in case you want to pick one up, as we won’t be making more!

TELOS - Delude (cassette)

from CA$12.50

TELOS ‘Delude’ cassette LP (TT079)

Simultaneously epic, destructive, and forward-thinking, these 8 tracks span more than most bands in any of the aforementioned genres. Definitely in line for one of the best of 2023.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got a shoutout in the January’s Last of the Month by Borderline Fuckup.

2022 - 12 - 02 /// Derramar | Querer | Borrar out today!

Massa Nera’s new record is out and available to stream/download/buy via the bandcamp link below. 12”s are moving super fast, cds are gone, and tapes are also very low! Monumental record!

---

Holly Caught A Contact High ‘EP4’ is out! No tapes left save the one to two copies you’ll find pop up for Big Stuff Thing #4 (which we pushed back to later December).

---

Gallery Six Saltmarsh is the newest release on CanaDave’s Softseed Music label, which is the calm before the storm, as this split from New Zealand/Japan is intoxicating and chill while the next release will be utter chaos (think Naked City).

GALLERY SIX + SALTMARSH - impermanence past time (cassette)

CA$9.00

For fans of: ambient / drone / noise / nature

This release has been sitting/waiting for years. First there was no label. Then were was Covid. Then members had to move countries. Then we had to wait for the tapes. Then we dipped the tapes. Then we shipped the tapes. They took nearly four months to arrive. So now...it is time. All that effort, work, and dedication can be shelved and everyone can bask in the beautiful, soothing, tranquil sounds of New Zealand's SALTMARSH and Japan's GALLERY SIX. Four new songs from each project to bring your brain back out to nature, relax, and smile. 100 tapes spread across the bands and Softseed Music exist, with the label taking 15.

Cassettes /103, 33 green case swirl, 33 orange case swirl, 32 on clear case swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case, all in a plastic case with j-card and download code. 4 songs by each band.

We sold out of every Fiesta Bizarra tape but have some reserves so I’ve put them up in the store. Every variant except the test dips are available! I also set the digitals to free/donation-based :)

FIESTA BIZARRA - EP (cassette)

from CA$8.00

For fans of: The Mars Volta, The Sound Of Animals Fighting, and Beast Jesus

This is the Peruvian pre-order for FIESTA BIZARRA’s ‘EP’ cassette. All pre-orders will be sent with the band copies to help save shipping costs for you. This pre-order closes on Friday night at 11:59pm PST October 7th, 2022. This shipping price includes shipping straight to your Peru home :) Cassettes expected to arrive in Peru early November.

After releasing some absolutely scorching screamo/emo-violence, the Peruvian six-piece has chilled out and moved into mathy, poppy, emo/rock with a few screamo remnants. This brand new ‘EP’ houses four tracks of ever-evolving, constantly shifting, and ear-pleasing goodness that sounds a bit like a more accessible The Mars Volta with two vocalists. Incredible melodies and harmonies with some seriously twisting instrumentals, this is a very unique release with a very digestable runtime. Releases in full October 31st, 2022.

Cassettes /54, 30 on red/golden swirl, 10 on half red/half white swirl, 10 on half blue/half green, and 5 on red, all in a plastic case with j-card. 4 songs.

2022 - 10 - 09 /// ...Of Death day!

October 10th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST is officially …Of Death day! The governments approve! No school! All places of businesses will be closed! Mark in the calendar every year! Too much? Sorry. Seriously stoked on this massive 30-track release from the Fort Worth, Texas band who released from 2000-2003 in the Jeromes Dream, Saetia, Spirit Of Versailles vein. That D-side etching is awesome and shows up on both C/D variants of ghostly/166 and blobbly/168. Co-released with Cliff Parade Records and Law Of Cycles, the latter of which we’ll be selling through our store.

Soul Crusher has a debut EP coming out on Softseed Music on October 19th! Who is behind Soul Crusher? Why it’s Sasha from Life In Vacuum, Kiken, and Congratulations! There was a music video premiered a week or two back (embedded below) and there’s another song premiere dropping before the release, but I figured it’s probably time to show off that primary variant! Opaque red swirl! Woot woot!!!

---

A friendly reminder that we did the double To Be Gentle cassette drop on Friday and you can get ‘Unbroken’ now and pre-order ‘it always hurts and one day it will win’. Just click on this text to head over to the Tomb Tree bandcamp page where you can link to either ZBR store.

Hiding In The Outpost resumes as since the last post I’ve sold out of at least three ZBR titles. Jump on that People’s Temple Project/Sleeper Wave split 12” because I got restocks from Dingleberry but now I’m down to my last copy of that!

now sold out:
Blind Girls ‘Residue’ / Blind Girls ‘The Weight of Everything’ (tapes still available for both!)

PEOPLE'S TEMPLE PROJECT / SLEEPER WAVE - Split (12"LP)

CA$20.00

PEOPLE'S TEMPLE PROJECT / SLEEPER WAVE - Split 12" (ZBR134)

For fans of: Funeral Diner, Snag, Kidcrash and Off Minor.

A split years in the making finally sees the light of day, with two incredible U.S. screamo bands offering up a total of 30 minutes of chill emo all the way to explosive, cathartic, dual vocal screamo. PTP has been releasing for years now and their 7 songs come in as their most mature, atmospheric and epic of all of their material thus far. SW drops 3 new tunes, with two of them being five-minutes plus in length and coming across as even heavier than their earlier Kidcrash/Off Minor jazz/screamo worship. ONLY 1 COPY IN STOCK, ACQUIRED FROM DINGLEBERRY!!!

12” black vinyl/300. 7 songs by PTP and 3 by SW. Download code included.

Operation X-Ray played so many songs from our bands it was a brain-slap. Blue Youth, Venus Twins, Virgin Mother, Works, Fiesta Bizarra, Colacon, and To Be Gentle!

Looking for more Massa Nera? Look, we totally get it. So here’s an Everything Remade with Edie of Middle Man Records and Coma Regalia featuring Chris Rodriguez (guitar/vox) of Massa Nera!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SOMN = There were some very brief discussions about ZBR releasing the upcoming Somn album and it looks like said record either became a split OR here’s a split and the album is coming later. That first track is absolute fire!
