2024 - 11 - 19 /// Canada Post on strike + good news

Canada Post is on strike. This means Canada store (aka this store) and most of the Bandcamp orders literally cannot ship out until it is resolved. The good news here is if you place multiple orders over the strike’s duration I can combine your orders and refund you some shipping after the gears get movin’ again. This is totally out of our hands, so please have some patience. U.S.A. store orders will continue to go out and they ship internationally too!!! Click on this text to go to the US store.

Fingerswoventogether released on Friday and we’ve blown through most of the tapes already. This store has a handful and the US store has a couple, but Bandcamp copies are sold out. Links to both stores are at the bottom of the Bandcamp page and cost less than those sold out copies anyways. Such a wicked debut EP!!!

---

Gxllium! is next! The first run of tapes flew so we made a bunch more - 150 to be exact. CanaDave is dipping those suckas now, and this run is professionally duped with proper j-cards, as the first run was all DIY, baby. EP of the year? Definitely up there!!! Oh shit I found one extra copy of the 1st run…embedded below!

GXLLIUM! - Breakup songs (cassette)

from CA$11.00

GXLLIUM! ‘Breakup songs‘ cassette (ZB369)

For fans of: Me And Him Call It Us, Hayworth, Rex Kwon Do, and .gif rom god

California's GXLLIUM! are back with an exceptionally fresh set of songs featuring a brand new lineup, and these six songs will absolutely floor you. Part chaotic hardcore, part metallic hardcore, part screamo/emo-violence, and a dash of the mosh, the breakdowns, panic chords, and unrelenting screaming will leave you aghast in the best possible way. We got these masters just a few days back so the first tape run was on 37 DIY cassettes (sold out) followed a 2nd/final run of professionally duplicated copies out of 152. EP of the year? You betcha!

Gxllium! released ‘Breakup songs’ on Tuesday and all of our tapes sold out in less than an hour. I’ve included pics so you can see them, but they’re out until all copies arrive at their homes, then I have three extra copies that I’ll put when I know it’s safe to. We’ll also be making more, at the very least tapes, and perhaps doing more formats. Spotify isn’t up yet but I’ll post it when I can.

---

Just a reminder that we made those Nuvolascura cds and there’s only a handful left and will be sold out before Halloween. The US store has a single copy of the ST and bandcamp has two, the new LP is sold out. Linked above (in stock) and below (sold out).

2024 - 10 - 09 /// Smush is in + Crowning to Japan!

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!
