2023 - 02 - 05 /// Distro Update 2023.1
Big ‘ole Distro Update happening here today. If you want a bunch of the Shove/Dingleberry trades they’re the main ones on the U.S. site (linked here) and for Canada/International aka this store you can head over to the New Items/Specials page (linked here) and you can preview a few items below.
It should be noted that I have created some ZBR bundles for people who want our releases at lower prices, but you don’t get to pick the releases. You can, however, tell us what you already have and we’ll be sure not to give you something you’ve already got.
If there’s one thing we pride ourselves on it’s discovering sick bands, whether through our own releases or other labels. So literally everything in our distro is awesome, but with so many international releases it’s hard to ground yourself in a sea of the unfamiliar. So this store now has some random mystery sets available to help you wade through while at the same time saving you money! If you see anything in our store that you already have just write in the Notes section “I already have (insert release)” and we’ll be ensure you don’t receive any doubles.

Twenty years after their final release, Florida’s hardcore trailblazers Reversal of Man finally get the vinyl discography treatment courtesy of Repeater Records. Between 1995 and 2000, the band released a full length LP, three split LPs, a 10”, various split 7”s and compilation tracks, all collected here along with the demo that kicked off their brief but influential time together. A fitting tribute to the long shadow they have cast, this triple LP comes wrapped in a gatefold sleeve with a massive booklet gathering all record art plus various flyers and photos from the beginning of the band through to the end.
I thought I’d update the Hiding In The Outpost with a cassette, as I haven’t posted many yet due to the fact that I can see how many vinyl are left on the shelves but I have to open boxes to see how many tapes are left. Honestly we’re down to one last copy of a lot of stuff so I’ll make a regular segment for the next few months. I’ve seen the final/updated/restocked Youth Novel tape lying around for almost six months and I don’t expect to be making any more copies anytime soon so I can’t recommend this stellar album that marked the end of said band and the beginning of Heavenly Blue. Last copy! Listen to it here.
now sold out:
Eyelet new 12”

For fans of: Funeral Diner, (early) .gif from god, and Infant Island
Since helping release the first YOUTH NOVEL ‘Turned Around Abruptly…’ tape in 2014 we’ve been hot and heavy for this Michigan screamo band. This posthumous album was recorded years ago but shelved when members moved away. During the quarantine Jon and Maya found time and recruited a new vocalist to help finish up the band’s final recordings. What we are left with is a cathartic, precise, beautiful and chaotic release spread over 11 tracks. Taking what made the band great and fine-tuning their juxtapositions, these jams span from a minute to almost seven and are both more aggressive (utilizing three vocalists!) as well as lush/gorgeous. This first run is across 204 copies with the following breakdown:
’Youth Novel’ cassette
- 100 red swirl
- 50 opaque silver
- 20 gold swirl
- 20 green swirl (only available in 2x12” bundle)
- 9 mystery swirl
- 5 test dips
All cassettes come in a clear case with double-sided j-card and download code. 11 songs.
