2023 - 01 - 10 /// Advertising On The Channel Of Dreams

January 10, 2023 by David Norman

Oooooo baby on January 16th we shall release Advertising On The Channel Of Dreams’ five-song album on cassette! This cd-only release from 2009 is beyond ridiculous and is reminiscent of hyperspeed space screamo ala Via Fondo and Rainmaker with an added layer of danceability. Jam that two-minute track below and you will hear exactly what I mean.

Here’s another ZBR Fest reminder that the full lineup is out and the only way to gain access to the pre-show is to buy a two-day pass. Get hyped. Click on the pic to go to https://www.zbrfest.com/

Burial Etiquette and mis sueños son de tu adiós have a split cassette coming out on Tomb Tree tomorrow at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. 7 new jams of glitchy emo-violence and gorgeous post-rock/screamo over 78 copies. We only have about half of these, some of which are mystery swirls and test dips!

Victor Shores had a great review from Not Just A Phase that I may or may not have already posted. Truth is, this was one of our most-listened-to albums of 2022. So fucking good. Click on the text or picture to go there.

This Noise Is Ours covered the sold out ‘A Shadow Circuit’ by Terrible As The Dawn. Really awesome stuff that came out after they played the first Zegema Beach Records Fest in 2017 back when we were still in Toronto. Click on the pic or any of this text to go to the review.

Cape Light was incredible. And so I say on the newest Out Past The Rings #142 for the ‘A Discography’ tape that we put out, sold out of, then I just posted one again but that one is now sold out. “You had your chance Gorman”. Maybe go check the Hiding In The Outpost series!

What’s that? No more golden tickets? Well good news, tisn’t true!!! In CanaDave’s most recent Out Past the Rings for Zampler #12 ‘Oh God, We’re Gonna Die’ cdr he unveiled that he’s parting with his personal copy, so all orders from THIS STORE now until the end of December are entered into a draw to win one of either four Zampler #12s or the coveted golden ticket zampler that gets you free access to all of ZBR Fest 2023 in Chicago!

A bunch of awesome people from all around the world sent us more screamo/skramz music videos so the Official Music Video playlist is now up to 233 songs!!! Here’s the link to the playlist:

New Day Rising should be in our hands next month (cross all fingers and toes please) and we still have some copies available. Incredible screamo/metallic hardcore from 1997 that could have been released yesterday and we’d all be droppin’ jaws.

Click on this picture for the direct Brooklyn Vegan link.

2022 - 11 - 25 /// Keratin premiere

November 25, 2022 by David Norman

Keratin just premiered their final single from the forthcoming ‘Only Eye’ EP on Tomb Tree. 84 release into the wild on December 5th. Truly incredible screamo from Australia! Here’s a pic of one of the /20 with alternate black cover. Click on this text for the full premiere link.

I just received the Infall tapes yesterday after a lengthy delay at customs (they were due here a week ago) and once I swirl the b-sides of 5 of them these will be ready to go aka I’ll ship the US store it’s copies and all Canada/International sales on Monday.

Victor Shores is officially out, making it the predecessor to the above Keratin EP. This album is very different but equally amazing. Super catchy hard emo punk from this Minnesota three-piece. Truly infectious stuff that isn’t repetative or boring in the slightest, and those vocals are just awesome. Tapes ship early December.

Works was on the the CHRW CHIN music radio with the song “The Bend”. 12”s from Tomb Tree still available! Features members of Girl Arm and can be accessed in full by clicking on this text.

Lower Automation came out the other day and pretty much fried everyone’s brain. These twelve tracks have infinite repeat listens because literally so much is happening. Absolutely fantastic stuff and contender for best of 2022 for sure!

Speaking of Lower Automation’s ‘Strobe Light Shadow Play’, here’s a review from Distorted Sound Mag!

Thoughts Words Action did a nice piece on Massa Nera and their newest video for “Adrift”, and some words about the album. Click here for the full post!

Operation X-Ray played Eyelet, Piri Reis, Infall, and Holly Caught A Contact High on the most recent episode. A new episode airs this Friday November 25th!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: UNDER THE PIER = This quartet recently came out with a killer The God Awful Truth split and it’s a righteous, violent, beast.
