Gxllium! promo pics

April 05, 2024 by David Norman

First and foremost, it’s Bandcamp Friday. Please consider supporting us so we can keep making records <3

.22LR released their self-titled debut earlier this week and it fucking rocks. Fans of Frail Body, Gil Cerrone, Youth Funeral, and Othiel should give this a whirl…I think you’ll dig it hard. Tapes linked to our stores directly through the Tomb Tree Bandcamp below :)

Terry Green premiered their new jam “Full Lip” from the upcoming ‘Provisional Living’ 12”LP. First album in a fucking decade and yes, it’s worth the wait. Even better than their debut!

Gxllium! promo pics have surfaced with the debut album releasing on ZBR this Monday April 8th at 9am EST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!! Some very sick variants, not many made, as we’ll only have 70. Is that metal on the green tape, David? Why, yes. Yes it is. Bad-fucking-ass. CanaDave spoke with them a few weeks back which you can listen to below.

Hawak released some of the best screamo ever then called it a day. CanaDave finally got off his ass and did another Out Past the Rings, this time for ‘Nuoc’, arguably one of the best things we’ve ever released. Co-released with Left Hand Label, not Dog Knights. I got one copy in this store and one on Bandcamp!!!

Lower Automation was featured on Brooklyn Vegan’s “New Song Roundup”. The tapes arrived for this new EP yesterday so I’m already dipping away. Full release May 20th! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the article.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KOMAROV = New live video from our UK besties!

2024 - 03 - 18 /// Widowdusk released!

March 18, 2024 by David Norman

One of the essential California screamo revival bands is Widowdusk. They have been releasing stellar EPs and splits for a few years, and really owning the live scene over there, and with this debut full length they prove why there has been so much damn hype out west. Let the 10 tracks of emotionally jarring screamo wash over you now, scramble for a cassette around ZBR Fest, and/or snag that 12” vinyl come mid-late summer.

Vancouver Island’s Hillsboro just released a new music video for “Novalynn”. CanaDave is buds with this band and is playing a few shows with them in May via his new band Mourn Recif. This material is kinda Strokes/emo-esque with the newer/unreleased material getting heavier. 12”s still in stock!!!

Operation X-Ray premieres from Basque and Burial Etiquette as well jams from Crossed and Pettersson.

Crossed got some love on the Brooklyn Vegan website. Check out the jam below or check the full list by clicking on this text. New EP in April!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SACROFUOCO = The new trajectory and band name for those formerly known as One Dying Wish. Excellent stuff!!! We will be getting a few copies from Icorrupt…today!

2024 - 02 - 28 /// Tomb Tree Takeover

February 28, 2024 by David Norman

First things first, support if you can, even if it’s just sharing this link. This is a member of Olth’s sister. Wishing them the absolute best in their recovery. <3 <3 <3 Click on the pic below or this text to go to the Go Fund Me page.

So we’re flipping the script with this post, as Tomb Tree is apparently taking over, but first we’ve got the new Softseed Music release at the (almost) top with solo project extraordiniare Garry Brents. You might know him from oooooohhhhh I don’t know maybe Cara Neir? Gonemage? Homeskin? Sallow Moth? The list goes on. This is his first foray into electronic/break-beat music and it’s fucking glorious. Check that shit out and pick up a super limited tape /23 below from the label or bundle one with a ZBR/Tomb Tree order directly from this store via this link.

Mis sueños son de tu adiós released their limited cassette /31 on Tomb Tree yesterday. Super shrieky emo-violence from Argentina, featuring all 2022 and 2023 tracks with a bonus full b-side of live jams!!!

Colacon released their “Gails of Contempt” teaser earlier this week and it should entice many to check out the full video that releases on Friday with the full 12”LP following in early May. Their release show is also the ZBR Fest 2024 pre-show! Woot woot!!!

The first single from the self-titled Solvalou EP premiered recently on Idioteq.com and they had some wonderful things to say about “Our Home Breathes”. The rest of the debut comes out on March 5th, 2024 via Tomb Tree. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post.

Horseboy got some much deserved love from Machine Music. That EP is still jammed daily over here and was put on tape by none other than Tomb Tree. Click on this text or the pic above for the review and list of other releases that they enjoyed, and/or listen/buy below!

Tomb Tree’s Volp got some love from Score AV and somehow we have a handful of tapes left. If you like your hardcore metallic or your metal hardcore-ish…you’ll love this. For fans of The Minor Times, Engineer, etc. Click on the pic above or this text to read, jam/buy below.

Oh yeah this is Zegema Beach, isn’t it? We’re pretty fackin’ busy too, planning the fest and puttin’ in all those new releases (Niboowin, Terry Green, Burial Etiquette, Gossip, Widowdusk, etc.). But a friendly reminder that the Gxllium! x Onewaymirror split cd came and went in about 15 minutes, and you should definitely jam that shit. Then maybe you’ll be ready for the 7” drop later :) The release also made it onto Brooklyn Vegan’s New Songs Out Today section (and was used as the thumbnail) so you can check out that list by clicking on this text.

CanaDave spoke with Jason of Inosuke, Locktender, and Men As Trees. Lotsa Level Plane and Interpunk talk, holy 2007!!! Click on this text for the full post or listen to it above and jam/buy the Inosuke 12”LP below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VIVA BELGRADO = Oh shit there’s a new album! Yeeeessssss. Gorgeous Spanish post-hardcore/rock/screamo <3

2023 - 12 - 22 /// Gifts From Enola + ZBR Fest Wave 2!

December 22, 2023 by David Norman

Wave 2 is here! Holy crap! Direct ticket link:

https://www.ticketweb.com/event/zbr-fest-2024-two-day-subterranean-tickets/13336913?pl=beatkitchen

Gifts From Enola released yesterday and we immediately sold all of the test dips and swirls, as well as over half of the opaque/transparent versions. Check out this incredible band on the 10th anniversary of their hiatus.

After our two-week break the VS Self ‘Collection 19-23’ cassette releases (that’s Saturday January 6th). Above are the promo pics for each variant, starting with the primary bird/branch/flower swirl (the most abundant) all the way to the test dips (the rarest). Every one looks badass and will probably fly out the door.
