December 07, 2021 by David Norman

Swirl Set #2 goes live on Wednesday December 8th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST in both stores!!! Included in the second of three swirl sets are: Drei Affen swirl dip /10, The Ultimate Screamo Band hand-painted /10, Yusuke/Lori swirl dip /8, Binary swirl dip /7, and Snag hand-painted + glow in the dark /1.

Today we released the first and only single from the New Grass ‘Scordatura_Perforations’ 12”LP which sees the light of day both digitally and physically on December 13th at our regular time. Check it out on our bandcamp linked here. It’s a truly fantastic record. White /100 and orange /99. Co-released with The Ghost Is Clear Records.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MAY = My friend Sascha recently bought and sent me files from an early May EP that straight up kicks some serious anus.

2021 - 11 - 22 /// Swirl Series #1

Are you reading this before the drop? Well if so, good on ya. There will not just be Cassilis swirl 12”s going up for sale, we’ve also got Lessener, Drei Affen, Snag, and Yusuke+Lori!!! This first run is around 20 total copies and one of the products is the full swirl set of all five 12”s (and is the only way to acquire the ‘Death Doula’ /1 swirl).

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: BANDS = This band from Greece waited four years to drop 2020’s ‘In Public’ but it was totally worth the wait. Dark, piercing, metallic hardcore.

2021 - 11 - 19 /// Marble swirl dipped 12"s

November 19, 2021 by David Norman

Wooooweeeee, tried our hand at dipping some already finished 12” vinyls with blank or screened b-sides and they turned out great! Expect 10 Cassilis swirl 12”s for 2014’s ‘Quitting’ to pop up on Monday in the Canada/International store at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Cara Neir released ‘Pain Gel of Purification’ today on Tomb Tree Tapes, which is a break in the ‘Phase Out’ trilogy. We’ve got those tapes in our stores now, with the second installment of the trilogy already being at the plant for five months, we expect a summer 2022 release on 12” mage vinyl.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CASSILIS = Chances are you missed this sick-ass release back when ZBR first started. Incredible feedback-soaked, haunted, writing, screamy hardcore.
