2024 - 09 - 05 /// Bloom Dream is out

September 05, 2024 by David Norman

Bloom Dream just released! ‘It Didn’t Have To Be This Way’ is a seven-song rollercoaster of feedback, crushing instrumentals, screamo, and metallic/dark hardcore. CDs available now! Tapes available later this month!

Leavs’ debut 12”LP 'Natura Universal' releases tomorrow! We’ll only have 25 of these in North America, 15 on the Softseed Music bandcamp, 5 here, and 5 on the ZBR U.S.A. site. The vinyl is on two gorgeous variants and should be in hand and shipping mid-late October. This Spanish shoegaze/alternative band boasts ex-screamo alumni from Tropical Ice Land, and this album is one of CanaDave’s favourite rock records of 2024. It's gorgeous, heavy, melodic, and catchy. Music video embedded below! For fans of: Slow Crush, Julie, and Smush.

ZBR videos continue to go up on our youtube channel, the newest being the beautiful and cathartic performance by none other than The Caution Children. Amazing.

Subba-Cultcha reviewed the new Hillsboro EP ‘White Trash’. I can’t recommend this enough, it’s stellar. The closer in particular is my personal fave from the band. Kinda shoegaze meets Deftones. It’s killer. Click on text to go there. U.S. tour dates above! Jam/buy a tape below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ASPARTAME = Hell yes new EP! Fans of Burial Etiquette and VS Self will love this stuff.
