2026 - 6 - 16 /// U.S. store closed for the next few months + t-shirts on Friday!
It is time. Please say goodbye to U.S. Dave aka the man aka Crowning guitarist aka awesome dad aka Biological Fathers mastermind aka my good friend. I’m gonna miss the shit outta this guy. He did so much for ZBR, it wouldn’t be what it is today without him. I wish him nothing but relaxing/hilarious/loving times with his family. <3 <3 <3
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:
$11US to ship a 12”
$7.80US to ship a cassette
June is very quiet for ZBR in terms of releases, but we get back on track at the end of June with the 27th installment of the Zampler series. This thing will be a certified banger and releases on the 30th of June and will be housed on a cdr in the traditional Zampler packaging. Want one? Just place an order over $20 anytime between June 30th and July 4th to receive one, so they’re essentially made-to-order. This goes for this store AND our Bandcamp page.
A friendly reminder that the Mal Criado album releases this Friday on Tomb Tree! I’ve included the variants below, pretty sweet. This Vancouver four-piece plays politically-charged power-violence with some punk, grind, and metal leanings. Tapes release at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!!
I went to the Victoria release show for my good friends Hillsboro who released ‘A Party in Your Name’ recently and caught some live videos (above). The tapes shipped today so I’ll have them and can ship by the end of this week !
Constrain made the trek out to the west coast this past weekend and played shows in Vancouver, Duncan, and Victoria. I made this trailer from the Duncan show in hopes of pushing the Victoria show, so check it out as there are short clips from Lakeside Amusement Park, Cadere, and Constrain. I’ve got a single copy left of their ‘Welcome to Club Vampire’ cassette EP below, thus making it today’s Last Fucking Copy! Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Since Tomb Tree’s discovery of Ontario’s best kept secret CONSTRAIN on the Loose Teeth split tape we’ve been ecstatic on them. With the release of their new, meticulously sculptured EP ‘Welcome To Club Vampire’, the band is ready to take on the metalcore and sasscore crowds with a full arsenal of amazing. These five new tracks lay heavy on the breakdowns, panic chords, and throat-ripping shrieks and the occasional clean singing. Very limited run of tapes, snag one now. Released on Tomb Tree. CDs by Wormwood Records.

Operation X-Ray featured I.O. amidst a ton of other sick artists. Our tapes are running pretty low and I’m sure he moved most of his copies on his recent across Canada tour!
