Crossed 12"s tomorrow + Satsuma premiere

March 20, 2025 by David Norman

The new Crossed 12”s and digitals for ‘Realismo Autismo’ releases tonight at 9pm PST / 11pm CST / 12am EST. I gotta say, I’ve loved this band since its inception, but good lord this third LP is flawless. Super heavy, super screamy, super amazing. You can jam two songs below on the band’s bandcamp.

The Shibuya 12” pre-orders went live last week, and as we’re only getting 20-ish copies we’re already half sold out and it doesn’t even release in full till May 2nd, so if you dig those two released tracks on their bandcamp you should pick one up immediately. Incredible Spanish skramz. Buy links below:

U.S.A. store = https://www.zbrusa.com/products/tt130

Satsuma got their final premiere via Brooklyn Vegan yesterday. The full release is March 28th on 100 tapes which CanaDave is currently dipping. Promo pics coming next week. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the premiere. You can jam the other single below.

Dead Hour Noise got some very nice words from Not Just A Phase, and the 12”s should arrive next month! Hop on the dead train, baby. Click on the pic above or this text for the full review. Jam/buy below.

Process // Sleep released digitally the other day but we’ve got tapes coming on Tomb Tree, we’re just waiting on the j-card and then it should be 4-6 from that time…so mid-May I reckon. Jam it below now.

CanaDave will be playing the Emma Goldman show with Mourn Recif featuring a new lineup and much heavier sound. Jam the most recent single below, but we have another one coming next week!

Tetola93 got some love from Lambgoat in their “5 Albums to Introduce You to Japanese Screamo”. We got restocked last year and most are already gone, so pick one up below after checking out the full list by clicking on the pic above or this text.

Someone wrote this interesting article “What even is skramz?” which is an interesting take from someone who is just entering the screamo room. They’ve definitely hit some wicked bands already. Click on the pic above or this text to go there, and jam the album that opened the door for them below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LOW BEFORE THE BREEZE = First single from their upcoming album! This slaps.

2025 - 03 - 14 /// Ashen Hands out, Reverie x Put Purana 12"s

March 14, 2025 by David Norman

Italy’s Ashen Hands has released their new and absolutely incredible debut EP on Tomb Tree. Tapes are done at the plant and arrive at the Canada store for decorating next week, so expect orders to go out late March/early April. Fans of Lucidity, Joshua Fit For Battle, Danse Macabre, and Trainwreck should be all over this.

The Reverie and Put Purana split 12” is finally in stock. We only got 30 copies across the two stores and bandcamp so don’t sleep for too long. Wicked Italian screamo!

Shibuya pre-orders are up in both stores, and the Tomb Tree bandcamp with two songs and the pre-orders go up on Monday to give the Ashen Hands EP some time to breath. The full release is on May 2nd!

SHIBUYA - Bravura y Firmamento (12")

SHIBUYA ‘Bravura y Firmamento’ 12” LP (TT130)

For fans of: Viva Belgrado, Øjne, Put Pùrana, and Dagerman.

Incredible sophomore LP from this Spanish band. Their ‘Apolo’ album perked up our ears and helping release this was a no-brainer. Not far removed from Raein and La Quiete, these 11 songs go from gorgeous post-rock to intense screamo, sometimes in the same song! Full release on Tomb Tree May 2nd.

Vinyl /300: 150 on pink marble & 150 on blue, w/insert. 11 songs.

2024 - 12 - 30 /// Zampler #24 tonight!

December 30, 2024 by David Norman

Zampler #24 releases tonight at 9pm PST / 11pm CST / 12am EST! Get the fuck ready!!! Before that time almost all strike-era packages will be brought to the post office and mailed off. Many of you already have tracking, that’ll update once I drop this ridiculous amount of packages off at a couple of post offices (so as not to inundate any one location). There are a few stragglers from Bandcamp orders that should go by the end of the week as US Dave tries to keep up, but does have a ton of other responsibilities (like a real job and a child). Here’s a pic of me with most of the orders that have accumulated over the past 6 weeks. Seriously, thanks for your support and patience <3

Operation X-Ray premiered two brand new jams from athousandangelsandseven and Keratin, as well as a Die Princess Die song. Definitely worth a listen!!!

Coup D’etat had their release show a few weeks ago on the back of their debut album release ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…?’ and CanaDave witnessed, filmed, and played said show. This thing is hot stuff and all Canada/International and Bandcamp copies are gone, but there are 7 copies left in the US store so snag’em asap if interested. Click on this text or the pic above for the full post with videos/links from each band. Listen to the release below.

If you slept on the GreenBlueGrey and Black Nails/Sharp Teeth split cassette on Tomb Tree then you literally are shit out of luck cuz they are very sold out, and did so in less than a few hours. Jam it below and weep.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LORD WROUGHT = I saw this Vancouver-based band slay in a half-pipe recently. Fucking awesome.

2024 - 12 - 13 /// Die Princess Die is next + Coup D'etat released

December 13, 2024 by David Norman

Die Princess Die is releasing their discography via cassette on Zegema Beach Records in one week! Brand new art from Boris Hager! All 22 recorded tracks! CanaDave has been obsessed for literally two decades so this is a treat and then some. It’s like Slint meets Indian Summer meets chaos and it’s on a level all its own. Check out ‘Discography’ on Friday December 20th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on just 52 tapes!!!

Coup D’etat has released their debut album ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…?’ on Tomb Tree and Yetzer Hara Records! This local Vancouver Island trio has been all up in CanaDave’s life in all the best ways, as their release show is tonight and Mourn Recif is also playing. If you ordered stuff from us and will be attending please get in touch so I can physically bring you your order (cuz Canada Post is on strike still). I’ll also have distro!!!

Click here for the full OMSB podcast post!

Coup D’etat was also on the OMSB podcast yesterday so check that out as the album’s companion piece and find out a ton more about the members and band in general! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post w/links, or just listen to the podcast below.

Senza got some love from Eklektik Rock which you can read in full by clicking on the pic above or this text. 12” etched copies still in stock, and I’ll be bringing a stack to the Coup D’etat release show tonight!!!
