2023 - 07 - 21 /// Congratulations In Loving Memory

In Loving Memory first release in 20 years is out in full! Digitals and cassettes are available/shipping next week! The band also has 12”s for sale/pre-order and that closes in just a few short days. The fact that we were asked to make tapes for this is a serious compliment that we did not take lightly, we are truly honored. Snag’em now, they won’t last long! I also found two full length stragglers so they’re up in the store too, right next to the new EP :)


The big mage news over here is that one of our favourite releases, all the way back at #30, is the Congratulations cassette. We spoke with No Funeral Records well over a year ago about doing vinyl and this Wednesday July 26th our plans come to fruition. If you have no idea who Congratulations is then feel free to peep this release show in Hamilton that CanaDave put on back in 2014, linked here, with Terry Green and Nous Etions.




Rotting In Dirt kicked off the upstairs show during the last night and unveiled two new songs from an upcoming split…and wowza! So good!!! We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!


Softseed Music released ‘Alaska’ by Uno Lady earlier this year and her tranquil music videos are making the rounds. The label has another release lined up for next week!


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CADY = Yooooooo UK heroes coming out full-force with their first full length! Rejoice!!!

2023 - 06 - 30 /// Zampler #21

Zampler #21 ‘He’s Not Worth It’ is officially out on bandcamp. 30 tracks, 11 of which are previously unreleased, all fire. Please check it out and share it if you like it. New tracks from the likes of Obroa-skai, Atameo, Dear Diary This Is My Teenage Angst To My Adult Self, Riversleem, Vibora, Pettersson, Neuman Portentum, Othiel, In Loving Memory, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, and New Forms. Christ what a list.


Sunday is the Neuman Portentum release. ‘God Monster’ was recorded more than 20 years ago and all of the songs never even saw the light of day. After a band member’s passing, the rest of the group contacted us in hopes of releasing the entire thing remixed and remastered. It’s fucking incredible. Imagine Ruhaeda meets The Flying Worker and you’re already there! Will there be mages? You fuckin’ betcha. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on Sunday July 2nd.


In Loving Memory released their new song and music video for title track “A Gentler Sun” which releases in full July 21st on Zegema Beach. You can find this ridiculous comeback song on the new Zampler as well.


Excrucis released their debut self-titled album on Tomb Tree this morning. Truly excellent, confident, progressive screamo from Chicago featuring members of Nouveau, Not For You, Wrestle Crow, and Yail.


Notice that Atameo cover of Coma Regalia on the new Zampler? Well that’s taken from an upcoming Coma Regalia covers compilation releasing fall 2023 on ZBR. All proceeds will go to help Edie Quinn of Coma/Middle Man Records/10+ other bands and their family following a rough few years.

The most emotional set by far was that of Coma Regalia’s, as at that point Edie’s child was waiting for a much-needed transplant (which he has since received, hooray!) so everyone’s thoughts were with her family. Excellent set. Excellent humans. Edie even did the art for the new Zampler! We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ONEWAYMIRROR + BURIAL ETIQUETTE = Our homies in BE just released a new split and it’s incredible!
