Coup D’etat has arrived!!! Holy fucking shit. After taking a little longer to press than expected, the 7” lathes were shipped, sat in limbo for over 6 weeks, and were then returned to the plant. They just arrived on Wednesday evening and now all the orders have gone out! Happy days. They are playing the upcoming Taking Tiger Mountain show in Victoria, and speaking of TTM, (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) premiered their first single off their upcoming cassette/cd EP releasing October 23rd, 2026 but they’ll likely have copies in hand at the show!

A quick little reminder that I’ll see ya Monday for the Surprise surprise. Yay!!! 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. I recommend NOT being late.

Jisei announced their release show for ‘Gets Worse’ which I’ll be at cuz I playin Cadere. We should have the 12”s in hand for the release. I am so fucking stoked for this one! Check out the new song/music video below.

This Noise Is Ours reviewed the Rainmaking/Senza split (which I call the Rainza split 12”). These have moved well and are definitely well past half sold out. Snag a copy and while you’re at it pick up Senza’s ‘Celestial Body’ before everything released by Senza and Rainmaking totally sells out.

Avery Friedman has a new song and music video for “You Move”. A friendly reminder that her debut 12”LP ‘New Thing’ is still available on two gorgeous variants!

Operation X-Ray’s recent episode featured Monterey, Ghola, and Ambretta. The first two are already out, while the third will be coming out on cd later this year.

[Record Labels] I thought I’d push my good friend Em’s A Mountain Far record label. They used to do vocals for Foxmoulder (last 7” copy is here!) and after resurrecting the label recently I came across both of these releases which rock. That Body Nest demo…goddamn!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FLESH BORN = Oh my god new Flesh Born!!! Check out the new record above and scope their ZBR Fest appearance below.
