2024 - 12 - 23 /// Die Princess Die released + Canada Post strike is over

Die Princess Die has released. Storytime! In 2004 CanaDave bought the Microwave Says To The Pacemaker 2×7” comp and discovered Die Emperor Die and promptly searched for and ordered a full length from Interpunk. When the album showed up and he inspected it closer, he realized that it was a different band altogether. Having already spent the money he gave it a spin and was pleasantly surprised. So he gave it a few more spins and realized that the album was pure fucking genius. Fast forward 20 years and CanaDave was still pushing this rather obscure band when he happened across the bassist and finally landed this release. Tis pure joy, my friends. Exuberance. Elation. So ZBR proudly presents the DIE PRINCESS DIE 'Discography' with brand new art from Boris Hager and all the tracks, sweat, yellin', glitches, groove, and noise that you could ever want from a band you've likely never heard of. Only 52 copies were made over three variants plus test dips. Imagine if Indian Summer drank an entire bottle of whiskey and freaked out to Slint. Best.

The Canada Post strike over! It didn’t get the end I was hoping for though, as the government ordered the workers back and nothing was solved. Regardless, the post offices are fucking jammed with holiday shipments and over a month of backlog. Therefore I will prepare all the orders by Tuesday but wait until later next week to bring them to the post office in an attempt at minimizing lost packages and general fuckups as the postal service will be utterly bombarded.

On December 31st Zampler #24 is coming. Around 10 previously unreleased tracks and new art from Lucca Cassandra from Split Silk. Here’s the previous Zampler!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ORISKA = Ex-Dispensing Of False Halos doing a dark, epic, posty thing and it rules!!!

2023 - 03 - 16 /// New 4-Way announced

LONG.WAY.DOWN. did very well with the U.S. store selling out in 48 hours and the Canada/Interational store is down to the last couple of copies. Idioteq.com did a nice piece on the release which you can read by clicking this text. Jam that sucker and buy one of the last copies below.

LONG.WAY.DOWN. - until there's nothing left... (cassette)

from CA$11.00

LONG.WAY.DOWN. ‘until there’s nothing left…‘ tape (ZBR315)

For fans of: .gif from god, (early) SeeYouSpaceCowboy, (early) WristMeetRazor, and Olam

This Georgia four-piece has been gaining momentum and it has led to this cataclysmic moment, as ‘until there’s nothing left…’ is an exceptional six-song EP that digs it’s very capable claws into early 2000s metalcore and myspace-era screamo. After some semi-lo-fi material taking root on an EP and a split, the band really bunkered down and focused on writing, then subsequently did a great job of capturing those sounds and had them mixed/mastered to sound fucking huge. If you enjoyed the 2019’s of ZBR aka SeeYouSpaceCowboy, WristMeetRazor, and .gif from god then you’ll be all over this. We sure are.

***GOLDENASHES swirl and TEST DIPS goes live at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST
