2022 - 04 - 15 /// Anna Sage and Anchoress release show

ANNA SAGE ‘Anna Sage‘ cassette/12"LP (ZBR279)

For fans of: WristMeetRazor, Crossed, and Converge

France’s ANNA SAGE have released a few EPs in the past, the first in 2014 and previous in 2018, so naturally after four more years they have another release but hooooooly moly is it massive (and an LP instead of an EP). 11 absolutely devastating tracks of metallic hardcore/screamo in the vein of Converge and old WristMeetRazor. When we first heard this release we were floored, and not only helped with the 12” but also asked if we could head up the tapes, of which there are 50 and we have 40 of those (the other 10 are with the band). 12”s should arrive in April (along with the full digital release) but we already have the tapes and we’ll ship those out late March :)

12”LP /300 on black vinyl with gatefold jacket.
Cassette /55, 33 on red swirl, 10 on clear/gold swirl, 5 mystery swirls, 2 red/gold swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case.
11 songs.

ANCHORESS ‘Stay Positive’ cassette EP (TTT063)

For fans of: Million Dead, Marathon, and Face Tomorrow.

Vancouver’s premiere post-hardcore band is back after a long silence and their new album smashes all preconceived notions that you may have held. Mixing alternative, post-hardcore, rock’n’roll, and punk to make a most excellent conglomeration, the five-piece may or may not take influence from Million Dead and At The Drive In with socio-political charged lyrics and a brilliant knack for blending melody and aggression. Release show tonight April 15th, 2022 and we’ll be there!

Tapes /56, 25 Outlaw blue, 15 Magical Journey swirl, 10 Old Wolf release show swirl, 5 test dips, and one transparent pink /1, all w/fold-out jcard and lyrics. 9 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HOME IS WHERE + RECORD SETTER = This Dissection Lesson split just came out and it’s blowing my mind.

2022 - 04 - 08 /// Banana Bolt Friday

Sorry, what’s that? We have too much happening today? Yes, we agree. As the year progresses you will see less and less co-releases because without being able to choose dates, our schedule becomes a mess designed by others and no one wins. That being said, have fun attempting to navigate all the shit happening today <3 Let’s start with that sick new Anna Sage music video for “Sinner Ablaze” which we have for pre-order on tape and 12” with the full release happening Friday April 15th!!!

Crossed is out and kicking everyone’s ass. If your behind is currently not slap-happy red then head on over to our bandcamp page to get the proper boot.

There was an Alas premiere for a song from their upcoming 12”LP and we’ll have the majority of the North American copies. Get pysched by jamming a brand new song at Miss The Stars! This’ll see the light of day this summer.

Click for link.

There is a new Softseed section which I activated today for Social Caterpillar. I’ll update it next week with all of the released tapes. Definitely check out this beautiful full length by ex-members of The Great Redneck Hope, Scowler, Alta, Swells, etc.

from CA$10.00

For fans of: Manchester Orchestra and Elliot.

Honest, stunning, and gorgeous orchestral chamber folk-rock from members of elite screamo bands such as Scowler and Alta (to just name a couple). This is the Wisconsin-based band’s sophomore full length and it takes the basics from their previous record and expand exponentially, adding more orchestral sounds, powerful lyrical content and some seriously infectious singing. Whether it’s the beautiful sing-along “Anti-Prayer”, the soul-oriented “Eraser”, or ambient/noise interludes, this album has something for pretty much everyone.

Cassettes /106, 54 on white w/red stamp, 24 on white swirl (w/swirled case), 22 on neon swirl, 5 test dips w/matching swirl case, and 1 mystery swirl, all in a plastic case with j-card and download code. 9 songs.

CanaDave did another Out Past the Rings, this one #107.5 for Zampler #10 ‘Goddamn Bugs Whacked Us, Johnny’. Come get stupid.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SOCIAL CATERPILLAR = It’s just so fucking good.
