It may be of interest to those in the US that I’ve updated the US store with distro/restock items that are all located on the homepage. You can access that by clicking on this text and scrolling down one page!

For those who enjoyed the Serrate album, you should jump on over to our Bandcamp embed below as a lost copy of the ‘even the wind sounds dead’ 12” test press is now in stock!

It must be time to take a third look at today’s ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature which sees The Names Of Our Friends making their second ZBR Fest appearance in two years! Consisting of members of other bands including our very own Senza, their 2025 performance kicked major ass so I’m super pumped to be bringing them to BC for the first time. Check out some of the 2025 set above and check out their longest release to date below. Click on this text to go to ZBRUSA.com and buy yourself some tickets.

You know you’re doing it right when Stereogum picks up on it, so congratulations to Vibora for catching their ear! Their newest release is dwindling in our stores so feel free to grab it before it’s gone (embedded below). Same with their debut, as the first press already sold out so we got a second one (embedded underneath the new album). Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review!

Concealer’s “Claymore” single got some love on The Pitch Of Discontent podcast. I’ve got it embedded above and our boys start at the 31-minute mark. Jam the new single below. Full release on March 30th!

Sungaze had a new premiere for the song “Be a Better Man” on Get Some Magazine. The 12”s just finished at the plant and will be in hand well before the May release date! Yaaaaay shoegaze!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere. Jam/buy the album below (6/10 songs are now available).

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the restocked Mrtex/Det Ar Darfor Vi Bygger Stader split 7” from way back when. Very cool foldout cover. This shall not be repressed. Snag now or forever hold your peace below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FALL OF MESSIAH = The band just released a brand new song and music video! Also we have tapes of their previous album ‘Senicarne’ on cassette and it rules!!!

2026 - 2 - 24 /// 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!
