2023 - 07 - 19 /// Variants galore and...The Fall Of Troy?

As revealed last post, the Dear Diary This Is From My Teenage Angst To My Adult Self releases on July 30th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Here are the promo pics of each variant! 30 red swirl, 15 halfsies swirl, 10 white, and 5 test dips!

A final reminder to check in later this week for Orchid’s ‘Gatefold’ repress on 12”LP. We got just over 20 copies. They should be arriving any day now.

Also coming up is an old ZBR release that’s so incredible that we had to put it to 12” mage alongside our family at No Funeral Records. July 26th. It’ll be nuts. Announcement comes July 20th! That’s fucking tomorrow, yo!!!

In Loving Memory has their full EP premiere of ‘A Gentler Sun’ going down a day before the EP’s full release on July 21st via Everything Is Noise. The tapes are /80, 35 grey, and then 10 of each swirl variant plus five test dips.

Venus Twins opened up the final evening of ZBR Fest 2023 downstairs at SubT and just lay waste to the expectations I had for the band live. Most entertaining band ever. Best dudes. Killer music. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HAMILTON = I only had the final EP on cassette, so when I saw this entire discography pop up after jamming Edie’s podcast with Scott I was fucking ecstatic!

2023 - 07 - 14 /// Orchid is on its way

Yep, Orchid’s ‘Gatefold’ has already been shipped to us so we’ll get them online next week for sale. Ebullition coming in huge. We got just over 20 copies.

Also coming up is an old ZBR release that’s so incredible that we had to put it to 12” mage alongside our family at No Funeral Records. July 26th. It’ll be nuts.

In Loving Memory released their final single off of ‘A Gentler Sun’ before the EP’s full release on July 21st. Here’s the single, and I just finished the tapes today! Promo pics coming Monday!!!

The new Seasons Worn EP ‘A Flower In Faith’ is out and kicking ass. Tomb Tree released this cassette on 53 copies and the band’s got 20 so we’ve only got about 30 for sale between the two stores, with the Canada store selling more than half of it’s stock in the first few hours.

For more info check out the Veil Of Sound premiere that went up yesterday. Click on this text or the pic above to go the premiere. You can also open the bandcamp embed up below to get the buy links.

Repeating their “what the FUCK was that?” response from last year’s fest, Meth. knows how to wow a crowd, plain and simple. It didn’t hurt that they played their entire new LP in full that doesn’t come out until 2024. We were a buncha lucky ducks, I tell ya. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THE LOVE AND TERROR CULT = CanaDave was inquiring with the band about releasing their discography, and now he knows why they didn’t do it, cuz this was already well under way. So good!!!
