Coup D'etat release + show on Friday

December 10, 2024 by David Norman

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!

Josh Johnson of Vamonos Tapes joined CanaDave on the OMSB podcast and both Coup D’etat and Green Blue Grey premiered new tracks from the Tomb Tree roster, while Josh played a brand spankin’ new Holly Caught A Contact High jam!

2024 - 12 - 04 /// Febuary round two on Friday!

December 04, 2024 by David Norman

Is Canada Post still on strike? You betcha. So that means that most of Bandcamp and this store’s orders just can’t ship out. Once that gets settled I’ll blast all these waiting boxes outta here so fuckin’ fast. I promise.

We’ve got some goodies to close out 2024 including a second run of Febuary cds, ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…’ cassettes from Coup D’etat, a limited Die Princess Die discography tape, the GreenBlueGrey + Black Nails/Sharp Teeth split tape, and the 24th installment of the Zampler with a sac fulla unreleased jams and spectacular cuts! Oh happy d…month!!!

As stated we did another run of digipak Febuary cds, this time 200 copies instead of 100 cuz they barely lasted 15 minutes last time and also the band is back together!!! 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on Friday December 6th, all stores + bandcamp. Tell ya friends.

Gxllium! 2nd/final run of cassettes for ‘Breakup songs’ came out last Thursday and shit be flyin’. Two variants are already sold out with the next few teetering on the brink. Catch the band on tour right fucking now!

Mathcore Index did their 124th Mathcast and gave Senza hella love. Watch the entire thing but if you’re short on time jump to 16:26 as that is when the Senza discussion begins. Snag a 12” below!

November 22nd episode of Operation X-Ray played a brand new jam from Coup D’etat, Mau, Fallingwithscissors, and Kid Feral - all bands we have partnered with or will be partnering with.

Softseed Music’s releases were finally put in the US store so you can access them all by click on this text. Included are releases from Leavs, Social Caterpillar, Soul Crusher, Uno Lady, Opheliac, Ramona Cordova, Charger Port, Mel*N, Hillsboro, etc. All of these releases are listed in this store under the Softseed Music tab.

Speaking of Softseed, CanaDave had two members of Hillsboro on the OMSB podcast for their sophomore discussion and new EP. Nima and CanaDave also play together in Wollruss. Click on this text or the pic above to go to the full post or just stream that sucker below.

2024 - 02 - 28 /// Tomb Tree Takeover

February 28, 2024 by David Norman

First things first, support if you can, even if it’s just sharing this link. This is a member of Olth’s sister. Wishing them the absolute best in their recovery. <3 <3 <3 Click on the pic below or this text to go to the Go Fund Me page.

So we’re flipping the script with this post, as Tomb Tree is apparently taking over, but first we’ve got the new Softseed Music release at the (almost) top with solo project extraordiniare Garry Brents. You might know him from oooooohhhhh I don’t know maybe Cara Neir? Gonemage? Homeskin? Sallow Moth? The list goes on. This is his first foray into electronic/break-beat music and it’s fucking glorious. Check that shit out and pick up a super limited tape /23 below from the label or bundle one with a ZBR/Tomb Tree order directly from this store via this link.

Mis sueños son de tu adiós released their limited cassette /31 on Tomb Tree yesterday. Super shrieky emo-violence from Argentina, featuring all 2022 and 2023 tracks with a bonus full b-side of live jams!!!

Colacon released their “Gails of Contempt” teaser earlier this week and it should entice many to check out the full video that releases on Friday with the full 12”LP following in early May. Their release show is also the ZBR Fest 2024 pre-show! Woot woot!!!

The first single from the self-titled Solvalou EP premiered recently on Idioteq.com and they had some wonderful things to say about “Our Home Breathes”. The rest of the debut comes out on March 5th, 2024 via Tomb Tree. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post.

Horseboy got some much deserved love from Machine Music. That EP is still jammed daily over here and was put on tape by none other than Tomb Tree. Click on this text or the pic above for the review and list of other releases that they enjoyed, and/or listen/buy below!

Tomb Tree’s Volp got some love from Score AV and somehow we have a handful of tapes left. If you like your hardcore metallic or your metal hardcore-ish…you’ll love this. For fans of The Minor Times, Engineer, etc. Click on the pic above or this text to read, jam/buy below.

Oh yeah this is Zegema Beach, isn’t it? We’re pretty fackin’ busy too, planning the fest and puttin’ in all those new releases (Niboowin, Terry Green, Burial Etiquette, Gossip, Widowdusk, etc.). But a friendly reminder that the Gxllium! x Onewaymirror split cd came and went in about 15 minutes, and you should definitely jam that shit. Then maybe you’ll be ready for the 7” drop later :) The release also made it onto Brooklyn Vegan’s New Songs Out Today section (and was used as the thumbnail) so you can check out that list by clicking on this text.

CanaDave spoke with Jason of Inosuke, Locktender, and Men As Trees. Lotsa Level Plane and Interpunk talk, holy 2007!!! Click on this text for the full post or listen to it above and jam/buy the Inosuke 12”LP below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VIVA BELGRADO = Oh shit there’s a new album! Yeeeessssss. Gorgeous Spanish post-hardcore/rock/screamo <3

2023 - 10 - 06 /// New Forms music video

October 06, 2023 by David Norman

New Forms released their final single and first official music video for the upcoming 12”LP ‘As Dust Collects’ which releases on October 19th via Zegema Beach Records. An absolutely stunning debut that’ll leave our followers with gaping jaws. Click on this text or the picture above to go to the premiere, or just jam it below.

The Coma Regalia cover compilation comes out on Monday, but you get another sneak peek today via a premiere of Split Silk thanks to the Everything Is Noise blog! Click on the picture above or this text to go to the full write-up/embed/links!!!

Saton’s sophomore full length is out and it’s packs a punch. Part hardcore, part black metal, part screamo, and part nightmare/horror flick, these 13 tunes will leave you…on fire? Our Tomb Tree did the tapes for this, only 51 available including a special /1 version on this site, linked here!!!

Onewaymirror got a single premiere from (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blog a few days back, with the full digital and tape (through Jean Scene Creamers) releases this Wednesday October 11th, with vinyl coming from Tomb Tree, Oliver Glenn, and BSDJ Records in a few months. Click on the picture above or this text to go to the premiere, or just jam that shit below.

Social Caterpillar’s ‘Alphabet Crown’ releases tomorrow on tape and 12”LP from the band and Softseed Music. We’ll have a few copies in our ZBR stores cuz that shit is straight up screamo alumni. Watch a jam from the upcoming album below from their 2022 ZBR Fest performance.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COMA REGALIA + SNAG = This behemoth split 12” was just released today! Snag (ha) a copy if you can!

2023 - 08 - 22 /// Joliette music video #2

August 22, 2023 by David Norman

Joliette is still kicking ass around Europe, and just days before we drop their new 12” we’ve got a brand spankin’ new music video for “Charlotte”, the fourth track off of the release. ‘Luz de Bengala’ 12”EPs release in full on Friday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST over three variants!!! Click on the picture above or this text to go there!

Five years in the making, the Orbit Cinta Benjamin and Flirt split is now available! Our little offshoot Tomb Tree made the swirl tapes for this release and we only made 50! Copies still available in both stores but the rarer variants are almost gone!

CanaDave finally got back in the saddle and pumped out one of the most important Out Past the Rings, that for Senza’s 2019 masterpiece ‘Even a Worm Will Turn’. We are out of 12”s! Only tapes remain. Unless you see them live then you better believe you’ll be snagging that 12”. Listen to it here.

CanaDave and Egin go way back, so it was a little upsetting that they hadn’t done a podcast together. Rectified. Egin Kongoli plays guitar/vox for Respire and is one of three founding New Friends DIY members. Bands played in this podcast: Excrucis, Low, The Pine, Slow Pulp, Social Caterpillar (exclusive song premiere!!!), and Xiu Xiu. Check the full post by clicking on the text or picture above.

When the The Sawtooth Grin confirmed to play our fest we pretty much lost our brains. Then we saw the band warmup and members from other bands stood around with jaws agape. Then we saw them tear the place apart to close out ZBR Fest 2023. And that’s it. We’re done here. But fret not, CanaDave has an entire post with new videos from every band that will be posted on his blog (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) at the beginning of September! See ya’ll next year!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: AMERICANBUSINESSMAN = Amazing new EP from Colorado, very intense!
