2025 - 01 - 07 /// Keratin out, distro update on Wednesday!

ZBR Fest 2025 is set for May 2nd-4th with Wave #1 and early bird 2-day passes going up on Friday! Should be $60. Pre-show will be extra at another venue in Chicago. First 10 bands are gonna knock some socks off!!!

There’s a hefty distro update going down tomorrow at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST, more info below.

In case you missed it, Keratin’s ‘Death & Rebirth’ 7”EP released this past Friday and as we’ve only got 50 copies for all of North America I would suggest picking one up now. For fans of Via Fondo, Suis La Lune, and Nionde Plagan.

The Återstod / Meißel split cassette releases in one week on Monday January 13th. 75 tapes, only 40 of which we’ll have as the rest went to the bands. In case you didn’t know Återstod is Henning from Suis La Lune’s new screamo solo project! Jam a song from each band below on the new Zampler (tracks 6 and 15)

Distro update tomorrow with Febuary cds (just a few), Youth Novel 12”s from Dairyland, In Loving Memory/Widowdusk split 7”s and more!!! None of these will be going on bandcamp, they’ll all be in our store under the New Items/Specials section (linked here) and the U.S. store (linked here).

Obroa-skai 12”s are in hand and release/ship this Friday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST! We did 100 on eco-mix (in this case it turned out blue-ish green) including a two-sided lyrical insert.

There’s not much other news that is publicly available, so thanks for reading and here’s some info! Firstly, I just ordered the Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow 12”LP so that’ll 100% come out in January, probably in the middle of it. Secondly, the plant is showing that Onewaymirror should be completed late December so I’d expect them to go up for sale super early in January. Thirdly, I have no clue when the 300th ZBR release will finish up, but I can say it’s a European emo-violence from years past and it’s co-released with Dog Knights. Mages? Yup.

Also in December = mages of a sold-out release (pictured below), full Othiel 12” release, full Inosuke digital release, Gifts From Enola tape boxset, Zampler #22

Crowning are playing this absolute knock-out of a show a short time before our fest in Chicago.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LOVE SPIRAL = I know I’ve seen this before but it seemed to get lost in the shuffle, and luckily I stumbled across it again yesterday and managed to download it. Amazing stuff.
