Monterey is next and it’s a fucking bombshell. Featuring members of Concealer and Rosemary Nods Upon The Grave, the band has their own wild flair but is definitely for fans of Brahm, Beau Navire, Empathetic, and the like with a bit of Portraits Of Past thrown in for good measure. This 12”LP ‘it always passes over me…’ releases tomorrow, September 18th, via ZBR and Third House at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST! Boolin Tunes already did a fantastic review of the record so check that shit out by click on this text.

Supergroup Ghola released their first single (below) with an accompanying music video (above)! Featuring members of Crowning, Itto, Lord Snow, Stormlight, Oaktails, Frail Body, and Greed Worm, their debut 12”LP ‘Aeon’ releases September 28th and vinyl is in hand!

Vancouver’s Taking Tiger Mountain has their debut EP releasing October 23rd on Zegema Beach via cassette and cd! The band shares members with another sick local band named Often Wrong, but this band brings the chunkier, heavier screamo that Orchid, Shesmadefromsuede, and Grimlitter. Here’s a snippet of a video that I took last month.

This Noise Is Ours reviewed the phenomenal Empathetic EP ‘The Room Collapses Quietly’ cd. This thing is essential ZBR listening and will turn the heads of fans of O’ God The White Whale, Monterey, and Brahm. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review and jam/buy below!

Nhomme takes home today’s Last Fucking Copy on the heels of ‘一種の過音’s third run releasing in two weeks. Easily the best packaging we’ve ever done (the band did everything 100% diy…just check the music video above if you don’t believe me!) so snag this edition below or forever hold your peace. Jam the EP on our bandcamp by clicking on this text.

NHOMME - 種の過音 (cassette)

NHOMME ‘種の過音‘ tape (ZBR314)

For fans of: Yarmulke, Hella, Sans Visage, Gauge Means Nothings, Nitro Mega Prayer, and 1000 Travels Of Jawaharlal

If you were worried that screamo was becoming stagnant or overly conventional then we present to you the new 3-song EP from Japan’s NHOMME. This new set of songs sets a very high bar for mathy/jazzy screamo with an emphasis on clean guitars, wild bass, playful drums, super high-pitched vocals, and dynamically mindboggling song structures. Not only is the music jaw-dropping, but the band created a music video showing the process used to make the cassette packaging (linked here) for the second track from this release. As a final cherry on top the tapes all come swirled, and in the rarer cases in swirled bags. Truly a one-of-a-kind release.

Cassettes 1st run: /146, 87 on black/white sparkle swirl (band edition), 44 pink swirl swirl (ZBR edition), 10 black/orange swirl in a swirled bag, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case and swirled bag.

2nd run: /152, 95 on white/black sparkle swirl (band edition), 40 multi-color swirl, 10 purple sparkle swirl, 5 bandcamp to-go bag swirl, 4 test dips with matching swirl case, and 3 clear.

All tapes come in a clear/clear norelco case w/two-sided j-card and o-slipcover, all screened on recycled paper made by the band. 3 songs.
