2023 - 09 - 08 /// Premiere City

Oooo baby after a few days of silence all three of our labels had a premiere go down! First is Euclid C Finder via No Clean Singing for Zegema Beach (releases October 27th), then there was Tomb Tree’s My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest which got picked up by Stereogum (releases September 21st), and finally CanaDave’s newest label Softseed Music saw a song/music video release from Social Caterpillar via Idioteq.com (releases October 7th). Click on each picture to go to the corresponding premiere!



Operation X-Ray did a double-episode this week with tons of ZBR and Tomb Tree stuff including: Crowning, New Forms, Widowdusk, Joliette, Piet Onthel, and Vibora!


Restocks going down in the Canada/International store tomorrow morning at 10am PST so check back for some hard-to-find awesomeness!!!


Hey! If you have ever wanted to be a part of one of the grave, neighbors Halloween cover compilations that I do, this may be your last chance. To be honest each year it’s getting more and more difficult to get people to submit. Last year, some friends came through at the last minute and help me wrangle up some more songs, but this year it’s starting to look like i’ll have to do a bunch myself if I want to make a decent size compilation out of it. Anyway, if you have an unreleased recording of a cover song or would like to do one and can submit it by October 1, Let me know. I would love to continue doing this but if there’s no interest maybe I should just let it go.
