2021 - 12 - 13 /// New Grass is out, Dave's Doubles still available!

The incredible New Grass 12”LP ‘Scordatura_Perforations’ released just now and might not last long. We have less than 100 of the 199 copies and everyone picked up quickly on how amazing this thing is.

A final reminder that none of the Dave’s Doubles sold yesterday. There are only five. They are long sold out. A Paramount A Love Supreme, Armywives, For Your Health and Youth Novel. Such bangers. Find them here.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NEW GRASS = Joining the ZBR roster solely through the work of Dave Cullen, this mathy, chaotic-yet-melodic solo project is fucking incredible. Released today via us and The Ghost Is Clear Records.

2021 - 12 - 12 /// Le Blast + Dave's Doubles

Hey y’all! In anticipation of tomorrow’s big release I thought I’d do a Canada special today, as the Le Blast Records haul showed up early last week and I’ve been busy putting them up in the NEW ITEMS/SPECIALS section of the store. I think the entire Au bout de mes lèvres discography is up there, as well as Икар, False Flag, Neck Deep In Filth, Apostles Of Eris, Pique, Cienfuegos, Kepler, etc
***AMERICANS please note, there are even more of these tapes arriving in the US store later this month, likely to be posted mid-January after our two-week break.

CanaDave went through some of his older ZBR cassettes and found some additional copies of two very sold out releases. Not only are these extra copies, but I held them back because I couldn’t choose which were my favourites, so they aren’t pretty nice…they’re really fucking beautiful. Dave’s Doubles now up, just Youth Novel, Armywives, For Your Health, and an /15 A Paramount A Love Supreme! If you’ve made it this far, I should let you in on a little secret…there’s a Drei swirl back up in the New Items/Specials page because I miscounted during Swirl Set #2. So like…grab that now before they’re gone forever.

A final early reminder that New Grass 12”s drop tomorrow on Zegema Beach and The Ghost Is Clear. We have two tracks up now that you can jam to your heart’s content.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: Икар = We recently got some copies of these tapes from Le Blast and we were blown away. Absolutely unreal emo-violence from Belarus.

2021 - 12 - 10 /// New Grass + Le Blast - Nine Eleven

We got a massive box of most of Le Blast’s copies including Naedr/10, Kepler/12, Au Bout De Mes Leveres/5), Belleza - Iluvia/4, Apostles Of Eris/Pique/12, Cienguegos/15, etc., which will update on Canada site Monday, with the US site following with even more stock in early January.

The New Grass 2xEP 12” releases on Monday. There’s only 199 copies and we have only half of those. It’s fucking spectacular.

Speaking of spectacular, Nine Eleven is doing the opposite and has thusly been removed from our bandcamp due to them pushing some pretty horrible shit. For shame, Antoine. For shame.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: PLAGUE WALKER = This band released a great LP last year and their tour was halted due to covid :( We had copies in the distro but they all sold out cuz it’s awesome. Check it out below!

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.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: END YOU = The solo project of Eric from The Catalyst. Very cool, dirty, raw, unruly stuff.
