25% off, Reverie + Pùt Purana out, Athousandangelsandseven on Monday!

January 25, 2025 by David Norman

First things first, it’s CanaDave’s birthday today so being in a pretty positive place let’s do 25% off this Canadian store for the rest of the weekend! Not only that, but you’ll get a handwritten thank you note with a unique/weird/obtuse story about a time in Dave’s past. I can’t apply a discount to the bandcamp page but if you order something there you will also get the note and a free 7” record with vinyl orders OR a free tape with cassette orders. The discount code is “DIEALREADY”

Reverie + Pùt Purana just released their new split digitally on Tomb Tree with 12”s coming in February. We don’t have a date for that yet but stay tuned here and you’ll know a week ahead of time :) Awesome Italian screamo, equally driving and playful. Check out a video of Reverie’s full side above!

Athousandangelsandseven releases on Monday! The four-song self-titled cassette EP variants are above, with the full release going down at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Only 50 tapes were made so expect this to sell out rather quickly!!! Jam their new music video for “Clipped Wings” below!

The Daves of Zegema Beach consulted on their Best of 2024 podcast via OMSB! Listen/download it below for a phenomenal way to find new/amazing bands. Click on this text for the full post with a few additional links.

2024 - 12 - 10 /// 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!

Click here for the full OMSB post + links!

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! Click on the pic above or this text for the full post with links, or just listen to the embed below.

The Crowning/Oaktails split got some love from This Noise Is Ours. Tapes and vinyl comin’ 2025. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam below!

Exclaim Canadian albums you may have missed this year, leaves out some solid shit but at least they got Terry Green’s ‘Provisional Living’ but that shit is sold out till 2025. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the list, jam it below.

Senza’s ‘Celestial Body’ made it onto the Everything Is Noise November feature. Check it out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam the EP below with links to our stores, two out of three variants are already almost gone!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SHOGANAI = Holy shit this is amazing!

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
