New Concealer single!

February 24, 2026 by David Norman

Concealer’s new single “Claymore” is out on all streaming platforms! We’ll have pre-orders for the 12”LP going up mid-March so watch for those, and the full length (which is going to blow your fucking mind) comes out in full March 30th on 250 splatter 12”s. This band is going to blow the fuck up. Fans of The Bled, The Minor Times, Hopesfall, and Deftones are gonna shit themselves.

With ZBR Fest 2026 almost two months away, it’s time to take a third look at today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature for Clay Birds. Consisting of an awesome set of humans, this four-piece nailed their 2025 performance so it was a no-brainer having them come back. I’m especially excited because they’re playing the pre-show on Vancouver Island as well as the main fest in Vancouver. Check out some of the 2025 set above and check out the newest EP below. Click on this text to go to ZBRUSA.com and buy yourself some tickets.

Vibora had a great interview with Rockzone Mag which you should definitely check out. They even talk about touring the US and the Daves. Pick up their new record before it sells out, as the pre-orders were slow but this will probably be gone by the time fest rolls around. Click on the pic above or this text for the interview. Jam/buy the new 12” below.

CanaDave and US Dave wrapped up their Best of 2025 on the most recent OMSB podcast. Some ZBR inclusions off the top of my head that we discussed: Emma Goldman, Crossed, Nuvolascura, Twins, Sans Visage, Serrate, Lucidity, etc. Click on the pic above or this text for the full post, or just stream/download it below.

Last chance!!!

2026 - 2 - 20 /// Vibora released in full!

February 20, 2026 by David Norman

Vibora’s new 12”LP ‘Egin Ez Dugun Guztia’ is out in full! Be sure to check it out, as it mixes the heaviness of Crossed with the melodic control of Boneflower. The vinyl is done but hasn’t shipped to us yet, so I think we’ll have’em and get them all out the door by the end of March. The stripe variant has turned into a tri-color due to heat…stuff. I dunno, that’s what the plant told us. Regardless, it’s sick!

With ZBR Fest 2026 about two-and-a-half months away, let’s take a second dip into the second ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. I don’t feel like Victoria BC’s A Recorded Dawn gets enough love, but maybe that’s because I get to see them every months. Their most recent split with Mourn Recif and their Zampler #25 contribution show the band’s evolution into dark, atmospheric screamo not unlike Ostraca, Infant Island, and Ambretta. Very stoked to have them playing the main fest with a buncha sick new material that’ll definitely turn a lot of heads, so come early! Click on this text to go to ZBRUSA.com

Hillsboro finally has a new song out (and music video) from their forthcoming lengthy EP this spring. Check out the video above and there’s a link to previous EP below. Wicked post-hardcore/shoegaze/alternative from Victoria!

Everything Remade had ma boyee Jesse Mowery from Biological Fathers (and Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, and Apostles Of Eris, and Majorel, and In Wolves’ Clothing, and…you get the idea) on and you should def give it a listen, as well as peep/buy the debut EP from the all-star band featuring members of Crowning, Frail Body, Eyelet, and New Grass!

Limbs got an extensive review from the always reliable This Noise Is Ours. We still got some tapes left of this final release by this Filipino band. Epic, experimental, fire that fans of Majority Rule, (early) WristMeetRazor, and Beast Jesus. Click on the pic above or this text for the review. Jam/buy below.

Magana was on Chapman Radio and did a four-song live video! Jeni is exceptionally talented and CanaDave has been releasing her stuff on Softseed so check out the video above and the newest release below!

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the third Meditations In Affinity four-way split 7” ‘Solicitude’ featuring our very own Emma Goldman (with an exclusive track, no less) another really early Zibbur release (number 39 to be exact) which is the Secret Smoker x Alarms And Controls split 7”. This won’t be repressed as I don’t think either band is even active anymore. Snag now or forever hold your peace below. Watch the band play “Code Produced Comfort” above at ZBR Fest 2019!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NO TRUCKS OVER SEVENTY-FIVE HUNDREDS POUNDS x IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND = Sick new split on BSDJ, scope it!!!

2026 - 2 - 16 /// Mercy Necromancy's 'Cruel' released on vinyl!

February 16, 2026 by David Norman

Mercy Necromancy’s ‘Fallen’ and ‘Cruel’ EPs are now housed on one vinyl 12”! Softseed Music made 111 of these so please go check it out and snag one if you like Dollanganger, Grimes, Del Rey, Cain, etc. Minimal instrumentals under the voice of an angel.

Well shit ZBR Fest is getting pretty goddamned close. So let’s go through the bands playing, shall we? We’ll call this the ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. Yeah, that only took like 10 minutes to think up, lol.

For years Massa Nera was the ZBR Fest mainstay, but after they had to pull out of 2024’s fest it’s been The Caution Children who have taken up the mantle. Bringing everyone together in the best possible way, these Florida all-stars were phenomenal in both 2024 (linked here) and 2025 (embedded above), so it was a no-brainer giving these dudes the ZBR Fest title and inviting them back for a third year in a row.

We are super excited to announce the release of Carrion Spring’s new album ‘Those We Have Lost And Continue To Lose’ which will drop on March 6th, 2026! The 12” vinyl /250 are on the way to us and should be in hand a week before the release so we’ll have some nice pics for ya as soon as possible. Jam a new jam below. More info soon!!!

ZBR is releasing the next Dagerman 12”LP ‘Di fronte a noi il nulla’ on March 20th. The first single “Caino” is available to stream/download above. Wicked Italian screamo, baby! We have some 12”s from their debut LP below if you wanna scope. For fans of La Quiete, Raein, Ojne, etc.

Soastaphrenas’ second single is upon us. This band is ex-Spoiled and kicks serious ass whilst also charting new territory. Exciting stuff! Full release is likely early April and Tomb Tree will have 30 copies.

Maximum Rock’n’Roll had Sutras make their list (Zuzanna’s list) which is sick, but I honestly don’t know ANY of the other bands lol. I’m in the screamo dungeon, baby. Tapes still available below. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: WITH ONE EXCEPTION x CHIGAKI DEATH METRO = This split is great, the first half is dirty/chunky and the second half is sick emo-violence.

2026 - 2 - 13 /// ZBR Fest 2026 tickets are live + Carrion Spring 12"!

February 13, 2026 by David Norman

ZBR Fest lineup announced and tickets are live! The cap on this year’s fest in Vancouver is less than 200 so we’re looking at a pretty intimate time. Tickets are going fast, get’em at zbrfest.com

Our next big ZBR-only release is the next Carrion Spring full length 12” titled ‘those we’ve lost and continue to lose’ and it releases in full on March 6th, 2026 via 250 records. We won’t spoil the variant but it looks pretty fucking sick. You can scope the music video for “Pocket Full of Poseurs” from the album below!

Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket’s debut 12”LP is finally back in press thanks to Moment Of Collapse and yours truly (but mostly Moment Of Collapse) as we only have 30 copies spread across our three stores. Phenomenal post-everything screamo from Sweden featuring a member of The Khayembii Communique.

CanaDave had a podcast with Mercy Necromancy right before a special surprise which happens on Monday. If you like ethereal, dreamy, dark-yet-beautiful singer/songwriter stuff you will fall in love with this artist (like I did!) and therefore you should buy a 12” copy of ‘Fallen’ before they’re all gone. All links in the full podcast post can be accessed by this text.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to ZBR006, one of the very first releases we did. I think we did like 600+ 7”s and immediately afterward Germany’s Amber broke up and these vinyl just sat around. Now it’s more than a decade after it’s release and I’m down to the final copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LONELYISANEYESORE = Wicked new EP from this band on Vamonos Records!

2026 - 2 - 10 /// Biological Fathers + Clout Funeral released!

February 10, 2026 by David Norman

Biological Fathers aka screamo supergroup just released their fist three-song EP on cd and it’s as stupid-good as you’d expect. Featuring members of Majorel, New Forms, Crowning, Frail Body, and Eyelet, the conglomerate cast of friends absolutely knocked this outta the fucking park. The closer alone is worth the cd purchase…fuckin’ hell.

Clout Funeral’s ‘For Pepper…’ released yesterday on 101 cassettes, but don’t let that big number fool you, we’ve only got 25 for the label and the rest were needed for the North Carolina band’s shows! Wicked throwback screamo mixed with newer elements and other genres. Such a good EP and the song titles are hilarious to boot. Released on Tomb Tree.

ZBR Fest tickets go up this week, probably on Thursday! Maybe Friday! We’ll let you know though. No waves, just the full lineup and two-day passes for Red Gate in Vancouver on May 2nd and 3rd. The pre-show will likely go up in a few weeks, which happens May 1st on Vancouver Island in Victoria at Big Fernwood. While you wait why not check out last year’s fest videos?

Clout Funeral and Limbs were featured on the most recent episode of Operation X-Ray so check that shit out! Thanks Andre <3

Vocalist Brandon of Serrate joined our good friend Edie on the Everything Remade podcast! Check it out (I am doing so right now) and pick up their debut 12”LP before they sell out. Only red copies left!!! Maybe we’ll see them in…oooooooh, I dunno…May perhaps?

Toilet OV Hell featured our very own Sear and Gravess in the first ever Anti-Fascist Scrub! Both releases have sold very well, with Sear 12”s only having about 20 remaining and Gravess having 5 left! Click on the pic above or this text to access the full scrub. Jam/buy either album below!

I’ve stumbled across a final Lacrima 7” for ‘Cartography’ which features members of Funeral Diner, Hundreds AU, This Ship Will Sink, Massa Nera, and Coma Regalia!!! As we won’t be making more of these I strongly recommend you snag this Last Fucking Copy, and once it goes there are now tapes via Middle Man Records. Please pick this up from Bandcamp now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FOREVER = Holy crap this group is ex-Swan Of Tuonela, Majorel, Massa Nera, etc.!
