Coup D’etat has released their debut album ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…?’ on Tomb Tree and Yetzer Hara Records!

2024 - 12 - 10 /// Coup D'etat release + show on Friday

Is Canada Post still on strike? You betcha. Most Canadian store orders and some Bandcamp orders simply cannot go out until it ends. We apologize for any inconvenience but it’s out of our hands. The one thing we can do is ship via FedEx but the costs are much higher, so if you need something by a certain date and don’t mind paying extra just hit up CanaDave at zegemabeachrecords@gmail.com and he’ll let you know the new shipping quote.

Febuary cds came again. And then they went. Sold out in about an hour. We’ll make more, as well as tapes, and be sure that they’ll be ready for early May. Cuz…nevermind ;)

---

On Friday Coup D’etat releases their debut album ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…’ on Tomb Tree, and they’ve also got a release show with CanaDave’s Mourn Recif band, so we’ll have tapes and ZBR distro at the show! You can scope a new song from each band in the 157th Operation X-Ray radio show embedded below!

VENUS TWINS - RAXIS (cassette/12")

from CA$15.00

For fans of: Death From Above, Big Dick, Raw Grip, and Lightning Bolt.

The new 10-track behemoth of an album that is ‘RAXIS’ is a prodigious leap forward for the New York two-piece. The brothers play drums and bass/vocals with serious noise rock nods to other killer bands such as Death From Above and Big Dick (hmmm…both Canadian) but add a serious dose of experimentation. Be it the undeniable grooves on “Return to Dust“, “Angel 32:35“, or “Light Catches the Rats“, the eerie and awkward “Agony Sludge Infinite“ and “seeS recnepS“, or the long and epic “God’s Machines“ and “In a Smashed Mirror“, this album covers a serious amount of ground and is one of the best noise rock albums of 2022. Oh, and the tapes look stellar. What’s that? Vinyl too? Fuck yes.

12” vinyl /250: 125 tri-merge, 125 clear w/blue trip button, and 5 test presses, all with lyric insert. Cassettes /80, 40 on purple swirl, 28 on clear blue swirl, 5 on pearl swirl, 5 on varnished swirl, and 2 test dips w/matching swirl case, all in a plastic case with j-card and download code. 10 songs.

CanaDave is leaving in 10 days so the ZBR Fest bug is coursing through his veins, so let’s look back on a very awesome but poorly attended Fest in Vancouver in the summer of 2019.

Day 1: Diva Plavalaguna, Elle, Nuvolascura, Joliette, and Senza.

Day 2: Malevich, Lytic, Valtiel, Terrifying Girl’s High School, None But Equals, Double Standards, and La Sonora Clandestina.

Day 3: Massa Nera, Reveries, Obroa-skai, Emma Goldman, Friolento, and Miriam.

Basque got some seriously positive/honest things said by Borderline Fuckup! Check it out and snag a tape before they gone, which you can find linked through our Bandcamp page or just snag one below. Click on the pic above to go to the review and click on this text to go to said Bandcamp page.

BASQUE - Pain Without Hope of Healing (cassette)

from CA$13.50

BASQUE ‘Pain Without Hope of Healing’ cassette (TT114)

For fans of: Lord Snow, Excrucis, and Karloff.

After essentially beginning their show career touring with Blind Girls, you know this has to be good. An uncategorizable debut, these first seven songs show a band ridiculously mature for a debut release, as rampant freakouts amidst sections of intense, tight, discordant instrumentals weave in and out of every anxiety-inducing track. Catch them at New Friends Fest 2024! Tomb Tree variants include some striking swirl and a much labored-over/stamp-happy limited flower edition.

Cassettes /32, 17x ‘The Colors of Pain’ swirl, 10x ‘Flower Garden’, and 5x test dip w/matching swirl case, all w/two-sided j-cards. 7 songs.

Listen here:
https://tombtreetapes.bandcamp.com/album/pain-without-hope-of-healing

Variant:

Select Variant 'The Colors of Pain' swirl (/17)'Flower Garden' (/10)test dip w/matching swirl case (/5)
