First things first, it’s CanaDave’s birthday today so being in a pretty positive place let’s do 25% off this Canadian store for the rest of the weekend! Not only that, but you’ll get a handwritten thank you note with a unique/weird/obtuse story about a time in Dave’s past. I can’t apply a discount to the bandcamp page but if you order something there you will also get the note and a free 7” record with vinyl orders OR a free tape with cassette orders. The discount code is “DIEALREADY”

Reverie + Pùt Purana just released their new split digitally on Tomb Tree with 12”s coming in February. We don’t have a date for that yet but stay tuned here and you’ll know a week ahead of time :) Awesome Italian screamo, equally driving and playful. Check out a video of Reverie’s full side above!

Athousandangelsandseven releases on Monday! The four-song self-titled cassette EP variants are above, with the full release going down at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Only 50 tapes were made so expect this to sell out rather quickly!!! Jam their new music video for “Clipped Wings” below!

For fans of: Nuvolascura, Mouthing, and Frail Hands.

Gold Coast, Australia’s BLIND GIRLS have been kicking screamo in the ass for the better part of a decade at this point, so it was only natural that band progress in another new way on their most recent ‘The Weight of Everything’.
