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.

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.

Tomb Tree is releasing the split between Loose Teeth and Constraint. The first Constraint song was premiered yesterday on Brooklyn Vegan and features none other than Thomas Erak of The Fall Of Troy! Full release is July 31st!!! Click on this text or the pic to go to the premiere.

CanaDave did a sweet podcast with Jeff (vox/bass) of Jeromes Dream. He’s now interviewed the entire current lineup over three different podcasts!!! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the full podcast post with a buncha links.

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 - 17 /// DEAR DIARY THIS IS FROM MY TEENAGE ANGST TO MY ADULT SELF

July 17, 2023 by David Norman

The fresh announcement today is the full release of DEAR DIARY THIS IS FROM MY TEENAGE ANGST TO MY ADULT SELF’s brand-spankin new EP to start off the 50-song collections tape!!! The new EP is titled ‘A Harvest of My Own Ignorance’ from the collections tape‘A Harvest of My Own Foolishness’. Sammy Gurule from Warren Of Ohms did the art and provides guest vocals on several new tracks. Check out that beauty! And if you missed it, there’s been a new song streaming since June 30th on Zampler #21!

A friendly reminder to check in this week for Orchid’s ‘Gatefold’ repress on 12”LP. 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. Announcement comes July 20th!

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 /80. Here’s the primary variant! There are also four swirl variants to match each song single art, each /10.

Germany’s Flirt has an upcoming split cassette/12” coming out next month with friends OrbitCinta Benjamin! Tomb Tree has had these tapes done for almost 5 months so we are very stoked to get this out into the world! Check out the first single “Morsch” by Flirt now!!! Click on the pic above or this text for the premiere post. One of the variants was revealed and is underneath.

Dave dipped back into an Out Past the Rings, the 164th, for JOLIETTE’s latest LP and final album with their original vocalist/guitarist Fernando. (listen/download here)

Be sure to check out their lead single “Lemus” and its accompanying music video below! New 12”EP comes out next month on ZBR!!!

Jeromes Dream closed out the first night of ZBR Fest 2023 and did so in epic fashion, with tons of heart, lots of humbleness, and one helluva set. Interesting note, CanaDave did a podcast with vocalist/bassist Jeff that should pop up tomorrow on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blog! 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: CROCHET = Jon from Heavenly Blue told me that this band was the future. If they write more jams like “Ancient Roman Candle” there’s no way I could possibly disagree.

2022 - 05 - 12 /// Loftus mages...tomorrow

May 12, 2022 by David Norman

This is your final Loftus reminder! And hot damn this one should stick in your head after seeing these pics of the ‘Hugs and Drugs’ Wax Mage variant /25!!! What is it? For those who know their mages it’s a labelburst/party monster/chroma! Good lord they look absolutely spectacular. We also did a small run of black /102 to finalize this amazing run of a record more than due for a vinyl release. Links for the 12”s are located on the bandcamp page which is now active, but the official vinyl release is Friday May 13th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DEAR DIARY- THIS IS FROM MY TEENAGE ANGST TO MY ADULT SELF = This unreal Chilean band released a new EP back in February and I totally missed it. Rectified! Incredible lo-fi emo-violence.
