Not Just A Phase Vol.2

August 11, 2023 by David Norman

Not Just A Phase volume 2 compilation is out! It’s amazing! 20 unreleased tracks! Tapes are flying, get one. Jams from Warren Of Ohms, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Letterbombs, Snag, Matter Field, Retratos De Heroina, My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest, New Forms, Hetta, Perfumed Saturnine Angels, Burial Etiquette, Salt Money, Lagrimas, Geronomostilton, Novely, Norfair, VS Self, Iburiedyourflowers, and Piet Onthel!

Widowdusk and Ihuntmonsters comes out on Monday via Tomb Tree. There are 102 copies. Almost 1,000 people liked the Instagram post so methinks we drastically under-ordered. Be there 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on August 14th!!!

We had to restock the Loose Teeth and Constrain split because this store and Bandcamp sold out in 24 hours while the US store copies just sat there, so we took 75% of that stock and shipped it back to Canada. We’ll keep these in the shop until Tuesday then whatever leftovers we have I’m sending to the band for tour.

CONSTRAIN + LOOSE TEETH - Split (cassette)

CONSTRAIN + LOOSE TEETH ‘Split’ cassette (TT096)

For fans of: The Fall Of Troy, Colacon, Exhalants, and From A Second Story Window.

Last summer Tomb Tree was approached by Loose Teeth to release their first output since the ‘A Commorbid Letter’ that the two had worked on together. Their split partners were introduced later and floored us, just like the new Loose Teeth material. A truly commanding split between two of Ontario’s sickest live bands. Part metallic hardcore, part metal, part emotive. Fer fuck’s sake even Thomas Erak of The Fall Of Troy lends his vocal talents to the opening track! This is a low first run, get’em before they’re gone! Art by Nate from No Funeral/Basque. <3

Tapes /33, 20 on swirl, 10 on grey and 3 test dips, all w/jcard. 3 songs by each band.

Euclid C Finder! 12”s are moving fast over at Dark Trail, and I figured we’d post the music video here as well as a song from their live set at ZBR Fest 2023!

Oh Euclid C Finder!, turning the downstairs of Subterranean into pure chaos during ZBR Fest 2023! You beautiful rapscallions. 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!

2023 - 08 - 04 /// Euclid C Finder! premiere + bandcamp merch

August 04, 2023 by David Norman

Euclid C Finder! just got their debut song/music video premiere over at Brooklyn Vegan. The cassettes have been ordered but we won’t post them until the actual release date :) Click on this text or the pic above to go to the premiere/watch the video!

12” pre-orders are up which you can snag from the band’s bandcamp here :)

With it being Bandcamp Friday we figured it was time to vomit merch onto the Tomb Tree page. Some of these are from CanaDave’s personal vault and are pretty rare/sold out so keep checking back here throughout the day for continued updates! You can also click on the pic above to go to the merch page.

mOrchid has been ordered. 40 ‘Gatefold’ 12”s arrive for a Wednesday August 9th drop at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Want an Olth? Oh, did they sell out? Don’t say we didn’t warn ya beforehand. We’ll order more alongside Larry though, so you’ll have another shot before 2023 concludes. Album of the year.

Youth Novel turned into Heavenly Blue so we’ve been on that boat for almost our entire existence. Amazing people and an incredible band. They’ve only got one song out in the world, and here is that song with both new vocalists. 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: HILLBORO = CanaDave’s Softseed Music is the label helping this incredible/young/artistic band from Vancouver Island called Hillsboro. More videos coming and 12” orders open next month on Softseed unless you want one from the band, linked here. It’s like The Strokes meet Motion City Soundtrack. So good!!!

2023 - 08 - 02 /// Olth 2.0

August 02, 2023 by David Norman

Olth is out on 12”! Considering how fast 150 tapes went you better believe these won’t last long!!! Buy links are ALWAYS on the bandcamp page at the bottom.

Satón just released their second single from 'A la espera del momento' titled "Mandíbula de cristal"! Tapes are in hand and ready for the Oct. 6th release on Tomb Tree. For fans of: Joliette, Naivete, Zvleta, and O.

The Loose Teeth + Constrain split cassette is out of stock in Canada, so it’s U.S. store only for everyone else who wants one! Linked via this text <3

Malevich absolutely ruined CanaDave at the 2019 fest so it was a no-brainer to bring those fine lads back. 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: CARA NEIR + TERRIFYING GIRLS’ HIGH SCHOOL = CanaDave helped coordinate this split when Garry asked him to find a sassy/screamy band for him to do a split with. Voila!

2023 - 07 - 31 /// Euclid C Finder, Constrain, & Loose Teeth

July 31, 2023 by David Norman

Following their kickass performance at ZBR Fest 2023, we’re stoked to announced we’ll be doing the tapes for the brand new Euclid C Finder! album ‘My Mirror, My Weapon, I Love You’ releases October 27th on Zegema Beach and on 12”s via Dark Trail Records. There will be a single/music video premiering August 4th!!!

The Loose Teeth + Constrain split cassette is now out in full! Tomb Tree probably should have made more than 33 copies lol so get on it! Features Thomas Erak of Fall Of Troy playin’ some guitar and singin’/screamin’…you can’t go wrong!!!

Dear Diary, This Is From My Teenage Angst To My Adult Self released yesterday with the Canadian store and Bandcamp selling out of all but two copies, so if you want more selection hit the US store. This 50-track cassette is limited to 60 copies and kicks some serious ass.

Olth 12”s in two days on August 2nd at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on Zegema Beach and Larry Records. We’ll only have 30 of the 100, so definitely get in the store before drop cuz these won’t last the day.

In Loving Memory crushed us all with that sick new EP, which Stereogum picked up on and wrote a nice little article which you can check out by clicking on the picture above or this text.

You can check out a sick podcast that CanaDave did with Jen Wiley, one of the two vocalists of In Loving Memory. It’s a really good one with sick bands played and lots of laughter. Click on this text for the full post or just listen and enjoy using the bandcamp embedded player below.

Metal Storm reviewed a buncha sick EPs that have released recently and our buds in Horsewhip, Yashira, Crowning, and Eyelet were the subjects of the 7” love. Click on the picture above or this text to go there!

We love our Eyelet. So we had them play twice, once during the pre-show battle set and once on the last day of the fest. Just stellar in every fucking way. 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: WREATHE = Awesome new release by Alex CK and a buncha other sick musicians. Like Morrow but much shorter songs.
