All bandcamp donations in the first 30 days for this go to the artist, shoutout Sinco from Constrain <3

All orders placed from June 30th-July 6th will include a Zampler cd for free. I heard their might be a golden ticket in there somewhere!!!

Oh shit yo the final T-shirts etc. sale just went up so I’m all outta shirts for sale. I cut down my personal collection from almost 200 to just over 50 so there’s some insanely rare/awesome shit in there. Some cheap…some not so much lol. Click on this text to go to the Shirts section of the store. Remember, each order by July 6th gets a free Zampler #27!!!

Everything Is Noise included the new Mal Criado album ‘Ni Todo La Tierra Entera’ that was released a month ago on Tomb Tree in their monthly blast! Click on the pic above or this text to go there, jam/buy below!

Gus (bass/vocals) from Ostraca joined me on the most recent OMSB Podcast! Check it out, we talked about a bunch of stuff including their sick new record (embedded below), bands that helped form him, his musical journey, and more! Click on this text for the full blog post or just listen/download the podcast above.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to another CanaDave (now just Dave) release, as I am down to the final Apostles Of Eris x Encarsia split cassette. Arguably some of the best AOE material and pretty much the only proper release from the prog skramz gods Encarsia. This will not be made again. Snag it now below or forever hold your peace.

APOSTLES OF ERIS + ENCARSIA - Split (cassette)

APOSTLES OF ERIS + ENCARSIA - Split (cassette)

from CA$10.00

APOSTLES OF ERIS + ENCARSIA ‘Split‘ tape (ZB276)

For fans of: Via Fondo, Majorel, Edhochuli, and Leer

After CanaDave heard the early Encarsia material he flipped his lid and asked the band to do a split with Jesse Mowery and their Apostles Of Eris project. The result is a six-song blast through mega riffage, soaring solos, and shrieky screams supplied by both bands. Imagine Via Fondo meets Cease Upon The Capitol for AOE (also featuring Sammy from Warren Of Ohms on vocals!) and anything mathy/amazing for Encarsia. Art by Joshua Criss @robotarmart.

Cassettes /110 breakdown:
Golden Afterburner Swirl (/70)
Currency of God aka Shit Brick (/25)
Test Dip w/matching swirl case (/5)

All tapes come with two-sided j-card. 3 songs by each band.

Variant:

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MIEKE = This Kiwi all-star just released another new jam, and I have 12”LP for ‘Frau Eva’ on Softseed Music so you can snag it directly from this store!

MIEKE - Frau Eva (12")

CA$40.00

For fans of: Smush, Julie, Bok Suna, and Mage Tears.

I am beyond stoked to announce the pressing of one of my favourite 2025 releases, New Zealand's MIEKE (pronounced "ME-kah") and her genre-bending 'frau eva' full length. This sophomore full length houses 15 songs that range from experimental ("Intro: the garage splits in two") to shoegaze ("Nuclear") to ethereal beauty ("Forest"). The art for this is incredible and includes a full-color inner-sleeve with lyrics. Easily one of the most exciting artists releasing today! And you can catch her at ZBR Fest 2026 in Vancouver as well as her band Wallflower!!!

12”s /243 on clear with six-colour splatter + 5 test presses, includes new art with printed inner sleeve and download code.

2024 - 02 - 05 /// ZBR Fest pre-show + single day tickets!

February 05, 2024 by David Norman

ZBR Fest pre-show bands released and tickets for it (as well as single-day tickets for the full fest, linked in the picture below). Good lord I’m so excited! Click on this text to snag the pre-show tickets.

Pettersson has a pre-order and two songs premiering this Wednesday February 8th! We’ll only have 30 copies for North America and the album is incredible, so I don’t expect we’ll have them around for long. Full release is in March, but you can jam the Zampler song premiere from last summer below.

Volp’s ‘Vortex’ releases tomorrow Tuesday February 6th but you can jam two songs now! Full spread above! Fans of The Minor Times, Engineer, Ken Mode, and Horsewhip will adore.

CanaDave got back to the Out Past the Rings and did one for Boneflower’s ‘A(r)mour’ cassette. Check it out above, snag the last two copies of the tape (one linked here) and the other is on the Bandcamp, linked below.

US Dave filmed/edited this new Frail Body music video along with our resident ZBR Fest film crew Wyatt. New album soon.

Operation X-Ray played some heaters on their radio show including Tristan Tzara and Nuvolascura!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SWEETHEART = This Ohio band unearthed an album and a 12-minute song that were released just a few days back! Hell to the yes!!!

2024 - 02 - 02 /// Tristan Tzara releases, Volp next, Telos on sale :(

February 02, 2024 by David Norman

Tristan Tzara’s ‘discography’ released two days ago with the mages and tacos immediately selling out, with the random color following (as we currently have 4 left), with black dwindling after that and a handful of metallic reds that should be in stock at least until summer. So if you’re picky I wouldn’t wait, but if metallic red is your game there’s no massive rush <3 Remember European friends can order from Dog Knights and Voice Of The Unheard. Shove Records in Italy will also get at least 10 copies in the near future.

Telos released an truly incredible album…then they broke up. Absolutely gutted. We’ve put the tapes on sale for the next week in case you want to pick one up, as we won’t be making more!

TELOS - Delude (cassette)

from CA$12.50

TELOS ‘Delude’ cassette LP (TT079)

For fans of: Hexis, Rotting In Dirt, Malevich, and I Am A Curse.

Denmark’s finest blackened hardcore/metal supergroup have released their finest work to date, as this LP is absolutely sensational. Simultaneously epic, destructive, and forward-thinking, these 8 tracks span more than most bands in any of the aforementioned genres. Definitely in line for one of the best of 2023.

Tapes /36, 20 on grey swirl, 10 on broken gold swirl, 3 on grey, and 3 test dips, all w/jcard. 8 songs.

Colour:

Volp’s ‘Vortex’ releases on Tuesday February 6th but you can jam two songs now! Above is the promo pic with the primary swirl variant and the rare /5 smokey brown.

Horseboy tapes are being finished up with stamping today and will 100% be ready to ship in both stores on it’s February 20th release on Tomb Tree. Check out CanaDave’s interview with Matt Perrin of said band, Big Water, Joust, Leg Yield, etc. by clicking on the pic above, this text, or just listen away down below.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got a shoutout in the January’s Last of the Month by Borderline Fuckup. We’ve moved through a fair amount of these babies and once they sell out we won’t be repressing anytime soon…cuz it’s just an internet project. T.J. McSnaggerson the III (jr.)!!! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the entire article.

And finally, This Noise Is Ours did a nice piece on the People’s Temple Project + Sleeper Wave split 12” via their ZBR Roster Review series. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam that shit below. We might even have one copy left!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COMA REGALIA = This new album just came out today! Geeeeeeeet it!

Vibora’s ‘Zaldi Beltza’ 12”LP releases in full tomorrow and we can’t say enough good things about it. If that previous track didn’t turn your head with it’s chugs, panic chords, and screams, then try “Dana” below, a much more expansive track that brings to mind bands like Boneflower, Descubriendo A Mr. Mime, and Altair.

Operation X-Ray played a ton of bangers including our own Riversleem and Niboowin!!! Woot effin’ woot.

Victoria BC’s Hillsboro and their debut 12”LP caught CanaDave so much that he had two of the members on the OMSB Podcast. Twas a really fun time! Def check out that album!!! Click this text or picture above to go to the post/podcast and jam the album below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OPHELIAC = Ophelia from Burial Etiquette released this incredible album and has another in the works!!!
