December 23rd = DIE PRINCESS DIE 'Discography' cassette: We've been in love with this band for two decades, so getting to make this discography cassette with new art of our favourite sassy, drunken, danceable post-punk/post-hardcore/emo/experimental/rock band feels like a blessing. Pressing on 50 cassettes with expanded j-card. For fans of: At The Drive In, Indian Summer, Four Hundred Years, and Slint.

Jan 1st-3rd (tentative) = KERATIN 'Death & Rebirth' 7"EP: The Australian band's sophomore effort and it's fantastic. Pressing on 150 black vinyl. For fans of: Suis La Lune, and Gil Cerrone.

TOMB TREE:
November 15th = FINGERSWOVENTOGETHER 'Three song demo' format EP: First demo that sounds more like a sophomore EP to me, wildly mature and writhing screamo that the kids are currently eating up. Pressing on 60 cassettes. For fans of: Onewaymirror, Spirit Of Versailles, and Widowdusk.

December 13th = COUP D'ÉTAT 'What Happens After the Epilogue...' cassetteLP: This Victoria BC-based Canadian band is going to make some waves with their debut full length. For fans of: Fall Of Troy, Circle Takes The Square, and Envy. Pressing on 60 cassettes.

December 27th = GREENBLUEGREY + BLACK NAILS / SHARP TEETH 'Split' cassette: The second split from these projects has them dropping in with a whopping 9 tracks each...totaling just over 20 minutes, so you know these absolutely blast through with extreme violence. Pressing on 40 cassettes. For fans of: Fallingwithscissors and thecheeseburgerpicnic.

---

Tomb Tree made 60 tapes for the Fingerswoventogether ‘3 song demo’ and it’s fantastic, but for a demo it reigns supreme! This sucker releases tomorrow, November 15th @9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on swirl, random opaqaue, and bright blue.

Envy/Love was the subject of a Youtube video from a channel I’d never seen before. They discuss it and play two tracks, and if you need it in English you can auto-generate subtitles. We started with 333 copies and we’re down to our last 30 now!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DRIVEYOURPLOWOVERTHEBONESOFTHEDEAD = My friends over here in Vancouver just released the best emo-violence record of 2024, hands down.

2023 - 11 - 27 /// Podcasts, Interviews, & Bandcamp updates

CanaDave spent the week scrounging through old boxes and his once stupid personal variant collection in order to update the ZBR Bandcamp stock with tons of long sold-out and in some cases never before seen variants!!! Click this text to go there. Crowning and Dave Cullen come back tonight so US orders will start shipping again mid-late this week as he attempts to shed the regret of post-tour life. During our little break Onewaymirror 12”s finished up so those should be ready for sale mid-December. Othiel’s 12”LP releases this Friday! Get stoked. Not stoked enough? Podcast. Too stoked? Podcast.

CanaDave made some ridiculous new shapes in the Out Past the Rings for New Forms’ debut EP ‘I don’t want to live my life again’. With the new LP dropping but a month ago, this was impeccable timing! There is one copy left below!!!

sold out

NEW FORMS - I don't want to live my life again (cassetteEP)

CA$17.50

NEW FORMS - I don’t want to live my life again (cassetteEP) (ZBR178)

For fans of: Ampere, Loma Prieta, Dim Into Dross and Capsule.

I loved it. You loved it. The internet publication Deli Magazine loved it. And for all these reasons we needed to do a second pressing. Chaotic, claustrophobic, cathartic. Any adjective that begins with C describes this release. "I don't want to live my life again" fills all the space in the room the way bands like Ampere, Capsule, and Loma Prieta do. And we have two options because we know you love options A gorgeous fully enclosed O-card with a new murky blue/green/yellow color scheme and dark blue cassette. download code included. Or standard Jcard with pink/blue swirl cassette that matches the art. download code included.

48 on blue w/o-card
20 on pink/blue swirl

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: JORNADA DEL MUERTO = This full length came out earlier this month and kicks major butt.

2023 - 03 - 31 /// The Vault opens tomorrow

*the above images are for the Zaffle

Yo, The Vault opens tomorrow. It’s a page of products that will be for sale that are long sold out (ZBR / Tomb Tree) as well as things from CanaDave’s personal collection that he just doesn’t need anymore. That includes a variant set of Supine’s ‘No Altar For The Company Man’, a Louise Cyphre demo tape, a rare Kodan Armada tape /10, a bunch of long-sold out Larry stuff, etc. The Vault will be posted in a new tab (at the top of this page next to “Zegema Beach Releases”) that will appear on Saturday April 1st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and will close on Sunday at 11:59pm PST, with the tab becoming inactive and the unsold products remaining with me as personal copies.

What is the Zaffle? The Zaffle is a raffle contest where you can buy tickets to win 12” mages, 7” mages, stupid fancy vinyl, 12” handmades, and then 12” and 7” test presses (raffled off in that order). Once you win something, the rest of your ballots will be removed. The tickets are open to purchase now (linked above this text) and close on Sunday at 6pm PST when the draw is held live on instagram. Winners will be contacted by email and only pay shipping UNLESS you are coming to ZBR Fest in which case you will not be charged shipping and can just pick it up there.

Massa Nera did a massive interview with DIY Conspiracy where they discussed each track in detail. Definitely worth a read, and the album is definitely worth picking up! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the interview.

MASSA NERA - Derramar | Querer | Borrar (tape/cd/12")

from CA$10.75

MASSA NERA ‘Derramar | Querer | Borrar‘ tape/cd/12" (ZBR310)

For fans of: Envy, City Of Caterpillar, Kodan Armada, and Kidcrash

Screamo is a strange concept. It was birthed under different names, then bastardized, it learned to walk, and has since been the lead of my life. It’s such a special thing that when people and bands really embrace the concept it lights up another bulb in the basement that is screamo history. New Jersey quartet MASSA NERA have fully embraced this for years, to the point of making a cocoon and transforming themselves into something new. The chrysalis opens December 2nd, 2022 and resembles something akin to City Of Caterpillar meets Kidcrash with the urgency of Crowning. Opener “An Endless Cycle“ is a whopping 7:27 of controlled chaos, gorgeous transitions and epic builds while “Tristeza Consume” and “Eyeless Faces” are unforgiving flames. Standout track “Shapeshift“ shows the band first at their heaviest/fastest followed by a five-minute electronic/dub-step interlude that raises the entire record up an additional pedestal. Realizing the importance and general amazingness of this album, Zegema Beach has teamed up with the band to bring you over 500 12”s across three variants, 200 tapes across seven variants, and 100 cds. Each media has a very different feel with different art, different color patterns, and different inserts/extras. One of the most critical screamo releases ever.

12” /500 = 100 on white, 150 on seafoam, and 250 on splatter, all with obi-strip and 32-page lyric booklet. 12 songs.

cassettes /200 = 50 grey, 50 frosty, 20 green swirl, 20 blue swirl, 20 maroon swirl, 20 black/white swirl, and 20 test dips, all with fold-out lyric pamphlet and two-sided j-card.

cds /100 = each comes with an obi-strip

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CAUTION CHILDREN = These screamo all-stars are back with a new song and video made by a fan. Sick stuff!

2022 - 12 - 19 /// Screamo music videos

CanaDave spent too many hours scouring for screamo music videos and has now curated this killer playlist of nearly 200 official screamo/skramz music videos! Neil Perry, Respire, Frail Body, Crowning, Via Fondo, Young Mountain, State Faults, Envy, La Quiete, etc.!!! Honestly it’s a ridiculous collection. Enjoy and please leave a message for us with new screamo music videos to add!

Also of note is the Zampler contest that has just started but details will be given here tomorrow when the news post goes up. Basically if you buy something from this Canada/International store in December you are entered to win a free ZBR Fest 2023 golden ticket pass. I reckon there won’t be many orders so your odds of winning are about 10%.

The 91st episode of Mathcast was a very ZBR-heavy one as Lower Automation and Thank You Driver were discussed in detail. One thing those beautiful fellas forgot to mention is that the Blame Kadinsky music video fucking rules (linked here).
