2022 - 12 - 15 /// Music Video Day

Lots of stuff happened in the last few days, all of it leading up to Friday’s ZBR Fest wave #2 announcement and next set of ticket sales. 10 more bands that you’ll be able to see in one place and it’ll drop your jaw, we promise. Be sure to check out https://www.zbrfest.com/ for all of the updates, lineup, and ticket links. Here’s a quick recap of Day 1 from 2022’s fest.

Our final 2022 released dropped on Tuesday as the Farah Rud + Baudelaire split cassette caught fire and proceeded to burn down everyone’s ears. Emo-violence to the max over 76 tapes. Nab!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SAL MONEY = The new LP from this Australian band draws a lot of influence from I Have Dreams and you’ll likely love the shit out of it. We should be getting 5-10 copies in early 2023.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DEATH CRASH = In the podcast with Adam they showed me this Ireland band’s 2022 endeavor and it sent chills up my spine. Really cool moody indie/atmospheric/art rock with heavier elements now and again.

OLD SOUL - Natures Arms Encircle All (12")

CA$13.50

OLD SOUL - Natures Arms Encircle All LP (ZBR018)
For fans of: Deafheaven, Converge and Angel Eyes.

500 copies (+30 test presses), mixed marble, mixed opaque/translucent and some are just plain wacky 12" vinyl with wrap-around cover, 2-sided lyric/poster sheet and silkscreened inner sleeve. An absolutely stunning release both musically and artistically.

The 4-song LP that started it all. When ZBR first heard this back in 2012 we were instantly hooked. This band is doing things other bands only dream of. Dreamy, atmospheric and pulverizing screamo/black-metal from Michigan in the USA.
