Smush is in + Crowning to Japan!

October 09, 2024 by David Norman

Smush has arrived! Holy moly was that outside of the plant’s guaranteed time. Inserts are printed and the records look/sound great. Softseed Music made 150 of’em and they’re already more than half gone. U.S. store gets their copies when U.S. Dave returns from his Japanese tour with Crowning/Oaktails, and should all be shipped by the end of October. I’d probably keep an eye on their bandcamp btw!

Crowning cds are in stock in both stores + bandcamp. They are literally flying to Japan right now to join Oaktails for the tour. As stated, keep an eye on those bandcamps!

Members of Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Mourn Recif, and Hillsboro have a new group called Wollruss. Their first show is October 19th, 2024 at Oaklands with A Recorded Dawn, Shoplifter, and I.O.

Moshpit Nation unveiled their best of 2024 thus far and it’s littered with ZBR and Tomb Tree releases. Othiel, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Edhochuli, and Demersal among other incredible albums (and EP). Click on the picture above or this text to go to the full list complete with review.

Machine Music three-quarters of the way through 2024 top 100+ includes Eyelet at #76. “One of the best and most memorable screamo-esque releases thus far this decade”. Amen! 3rd press is embedded below via bandcamp or either store. Click on this text or the pic above to go to the massive list!

2022 - 11 - 30 /// Massa Nera vinyl pics

November 30, 2022 by David Norman

Yo. Friday. Fucking Friday. Friday is Massa Nera day. Tapes. CDs. 12”s. And don’t forget one of the best screamo releases of all-time. Disagree? Listen to it on Friday then tell me that. Here are some promo pics of the records. 250 splatter, 150 seafoam marble, and 100 white. 12”s come with a massive 32-page booklet that should arrive at our stores for a mid-December ship date.

Massa Nera was on Not Just A Phase! A super informative podcast for anyone who enjoys the band and wants more info about the new album!

Here is the Keratin spread for the Australian screamo band’s debut EP ‘Only Eye’ releasing December 5th on Tomb Tree. This is easily one of the best EPs of 2022 so fucking hold your horses already with those lists…jeesh.

This Noise Is Ours continued their Zegema Beach Roster Review with 60659-C. These hung around forever but were extinguished last year. Ya missed out. Click on this text for the review!

Hiding In The Outpost is back after being helluva efficient! These keep going very quickly so I feel like this is a pretty important section. What we got? We’ve got another very early and likely-not-to-be-repressed, this time a 7” and it’s the first Foxmoulder ‘Lethe’ 7” on white. This is pre-Respire! Last copy!!!
