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:

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.

Concealer is getting mad love, both from The Pitch of Discontent (starts at 15:49 above) and Get Alternative (linked to this text) in both weekly roundups. Jam/buy it below, tapes are gettin’ low and most variants only have 1-2 copies left (if they aren’t already sold out).

Febuary has…I think…officially got back together. At the very least they played a reunion show and we’ve got 200 more cds comin’ your way in early December so if you missed this, NOW IS THE TIME. Click on this text to go to the full review and jam that shit below.

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!

2024 - 09 - 01 /// Hefty September

September 02, 2024 by David Norman

As our slow month concludes we enter the very front-heavy September schedule which is thus:

ZBR:

September 5th = BLOOM DREAM 'It Didn't Have To Be This Way' cd/cassette EP: Holy freakin' smokes is this one bad-ass release. Brooding, massive, sexy, and melodic stuff from Miami with beefy four-minute jams. Pressing on 100 cds and 50 cassettes. For fans of: Othiel, Hawak, and Crowning

September 17th = HALLAM FOE 'Funkapokalips' 12" lathe EP: This Indonesian four-piece have been making waves for years, so we are stoked to bring you their brand new 6-song EP 'Funkapokalips' on one-sided 12" lathe. Still screamy, sassy, and heavy, the band embraces some moshier and experimental moments on this one. Pressing on 25 clear and 25 black lathes. For fans of: SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Piri Reis, and Heavy Heavy Low Low

September 30th = FEBUARY 'February' cdLP: It doesn't get more screamo than this - become a sick screamo band, build hype with live shows, record a single batch of incredible songs, break up. Goddammit. Pressing on 100 cds with gatefold digipak. For fans of: The Lazurus Plot, Clay Birds, and Montcalm.

TOMB TREE:

September 10th = SPLIT SILK 'Bitter' cassette EP: Following two very promising EPs is this new, full-band (solo project no longer!) release shows heaps of progress.

SOFTSEED MUSIC:

September 6th = LEAVS 'Natura Universal' 12"LP: This Spanish shoegaze/alternative band boasts ex-screamo alumni from Tropical Ice Land, and this album hits just as hard - but in a different way. It's gorgeous, heavy, melodic, and catchy. Plus the music video rules and it's embedded below. Pressing on 300 12" records but Softseed will only have 25 copies. 8 songs. For fans of: Slow Crush, Julie, and Smush.

A few VHS tapes of 2024 remain in the US store. Click this text to snag. New uploads to Youtube below and includes bonus footage!!!
