Twins pre-order, Emma Goldman music video, Serrate LP out Monday!

September 05, 2025 by David Norman

When we were sent the Serrate debut full length our jaws fell clean off. Their abrasive yet melodic take on screamo/metallic hardcore is superb, and is our next release on Monday September 8th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. There will be both neon green and neon red vinyl available and we’ve already got dem copies! Check out the music video above and an interview with member Matt Evans below (you can also click on this text to go to the proper Getting It Out podcast page! Kinda like Converge meets Orchid!

Twins pre-orders for ‘it_s complicated’ released yesterday alongside a music video for “Goodbye”. We’ve already moved about half of our copies or so of the wild, eccentric, unique, and just plain awesome German release. It’s on 200 “Confused splatter” and 100 “Canary yellow” 12”s. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the pre-order. Watch that video below!

Bok Suna’s ‘Carnate’ arrived last Thursday and holy moly is it amazing. Incredible album, incredible vinyl. Jam/buy below!

Emma Goldman just released their brand new music video for “I seem to be an adjective” from the ‘all you are is we’ full length. In addition to this wicked video we’ve also got tapes of the album, and as the vinyl is sold out I would give picking one up a hard recommend. Click on the pic above or this text to go there! Pick up a copy/jam it below.

US Dave uploaded the extended I Promised The World (formerly Sinema) videos from ZBR Fest 2025, and that set was just otherworldly, absolutely incredible performance. We’ve also thrown up the Votive video as well which features ex-members of Foxmoulder, Gas Up Yr Hearse!, Portrayal Of Guilt, etc. Individual band videos from ZBR Fest will continue popping up, some of which have additional videos that weren’t included in the full fest documentary. You can access more via our Youtube channel.

Chin Music played Avery Friedman, and great timing cuz those lovely 12”s arrived early last week and have are shipping now! The Stupid Fancy in particular is stunning…just like the debut album! Listen to the show above or by clicking on this text and take a gander at the album below.

Equalizing Distort played the Coup D’etat song from the Not Just A Phase Vol.3 compilation. As of right now that comp series is complete, so if you’re interested in the comp of unreleased jams you should pick one up immediately below! Also, some wicked news about Coup is coming September 11th! Click on this text or the pic above for the show, jam/buy below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: YARBO = This Canadian band and their 2024 full length was passed to me a few weeks ago and I’m fucking hooked. It’s like Harris Hawk, Edhochuli, and The Armed in a fucking blender omg so good!

2025 - 09 - 01 /// Usurp Synapse pre-orders are live + Bok Suna released!

September 01, 2025 by David Norman

It is time. The pre-orders are up. Available in the U.S. store (linked here), the Canada/International store (linked here), and Bandcamp (linked here). Usurp Synapse’s ‘Disinformation Fix’ 2x12” releases in October on 500 units of hand-poured colored vinyl with lazser-cut gatefold covers. Please remember these WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL LATE OCTOBER/NOVEMBER. That includes orders with additional items in the order, the entire order will be held until November. Just a heads up, the unreleased This Endless Breath CD songs will not appear on the release as it enabled us to keep it to two 12”s instead of three. 50 songs. Truly insane packaging. Historic. Classic. Screamo.

It is also time! The sophomore BOK SUNA 12"LP 'Carnate' is officially out and shipping! 13 gorgeous, honest, and dark songs from this Tacoma/Seattle project that has recruited the drummer from Hillsboro to really flesh out this new set of songs. 125 x 12" vinyl over two variants and 20 cassettes were made and are in hand. For fans of: Lomelda, Mieke, (early) Clairo, Mage Tears, and Frankie Cosmos. <3

CanaDave got back in the saddle and recorded a new Out Past the Rings that doubles as a Tomb Tree Family Tree episode. Discussed are the debut A Paramount A Love Supreme EP and our first Cara Neir venture, the ‘Part III / Part IV’ album. Watch it below, buy those releases on…well, I guess ebay is your only bet cuz dem mad sold out.

In more awesome news, the Adobe Homes 12” tests were approved, so that is 100% coming out in 2025 just unsure of the exact date. You can scope a new song in this ZBR Fest 2025 video embedded above. Speaking of sick ZBR Fest videos, the Shoganai one was also uploaded recently, and we still have a few cassette stragglers for their first, self-titled EP. You can access them by clicking on this text. Individual band videos from ZBR Fest will continue popping up, some of which have additional videos that weren’t included in the full fest documentary. You can access more via our Youtube channel.

This Noise Is Ours continue their extensive ZBR coverage with the Poetry Of Torch x Gil Cerrone split cd (which we are running low on, by the way). A scorching Japanese/Australian collaboration. Listen/buy below and read the review by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Operation X-Ray played some serious heat (as per usual) and threw out some Usurp Synapse, Emma Goldman, and Bok Suna jams. We just released some tapes for Emma’s ‘all you are is we’ because the 12”s are gone (or maybe there’s still 1-2 copies left in the U.S.), so I’ve linked our bandcamp with all the store links below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HORSEBOY = Hellllll yes. Our Tomb Tree released their debut EP and now the band is back with their debut full length and it’s a sassy, screamy, rockin’ trip. Listen to the new album below. Jam/buy the first EP above.

2025 - 08 - 26 /// Emma Goldman tapes + Usurp Synapse pre-order on Fri!

August 26, 2025 by David Norman

Emma Goldman tapes are live! After burning through our 200 vinyl copies of ‘all you are is we’ it was apparent that the demand remained, so to get something in time for the band’s most recent Eastern Canada tour we cooked up 100 of these babies, with 50 going to the band (and are probably gone/near gone) and the remaining 50 getting split up among the ZBR stores. Snag one now, you know they ain’t gonna last!

Avery Friedman’s ‘New Thing’ 12” vinyl arrived yesterday and holy sheeat do they look sick. There’s clear pavement blue /100 and stupid fancy /30. Gorgeous, dreamy, singer/songwriter indie rock from New York.

Running low? You betcha. There’s single digit copies left of the ZBR swirl and blue, test dips are gone, and there’s about 20 of the butterfly swirl and apricot left. Gonna make more? Nope, that’s not how this comp rolls. Once it’s gone it’s gone. If they sell out soon Rob from Not Just A Phase will down a spicy Paqui on camera. It’s a win/win, baby. This killer 24-track tape (one song is a cassette exclusive) is bursting with previously unreleased tracks from: Captain Jazz, Claire Voyancé, Coup D’état, Demersal, Drought, Gil Cerrone, Floating Woods, Garland Briggs, Geronimostilton, Heavens Blinding Hue, Hynoki, Lagrimas, Leda, Letterbombs, Módulo Lunar, Mourn Recif, myhateisabeautifulexistence, Of Death…, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Retratros De Heroína, and Youth Novel.

Okay, we’re doing it. Friday August 29th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST is the Usurp Synapse ‘Disinformation Fix’ pre-order. The 2x12” releases on 500 units of hand-poured colored vinyl with lazer-cut gatefold covers. Please remember these WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL NOVEMBER. That includes orders with additional items in the order, the entire order will be held until November. Just a heads up, the unreleased This Endless Breath CD songs will not appear on the release as it enabled us to keep it to two 12”s instead of three.

Individual band videos from ZBR Fest have started popping up, many of which have additional videos that weren’t included in the full fest documentary. For now here’s Black Nail and Poetry Of Torch, but you can access more via our Youtube channel.

The new Operation X-Ray snuck in Demersal and Geronimostilton jams from the recently released Not Just A Phase Vol.3. Check it out below!

Bok Suna’s ‘Carnate’ is in. Black copies obtained. Stupid Fancy arriving any day. Full release is Friday August 29th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Jam the “honest person” single below. Watch the music video for “doghorn” above.
