Blue Youth tomorrow, Sutras on Wednesday!

April 14, 2025 by David Norman

Nuvolascura has a new album coming out in July. We will be co-releasing alongside the always awesome Icorrupt Records in Europe. It’s their heaviest material to date and oh my god it’s incredible.

Blue Youth’s sophomore 12”LP ‘Defeatist’ releases this Tuesday April 15th! We made 300 copies of this one (their debut LP was /200 and it’s sold out) and put’em on green wax, with The Ghost Is Clear Records co-releasing with us cuz they love the band as much as we do. Their new album definitely gets heavier than their previous material but retains the band’s sassy, rockin’ foundation. You can scope their final premiere in the most recent Operation X-Ray episode linked below (you’ll also find Lord Wrought and Mahria in there) for “Patient Patient”. Full release is Tuesday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!!

Bloom Dream tapes are down to the literal last copies of the 2nd run, Bandcamp has a white and gold injection, while this store has a random and gold injection. Then we mad out…again.

Demersal has a new EP releasing in the fall but they’ve dropped a music video now cuz why the hell not? This song shows the band’s maturity and expansion into new genres as it isn’t just screamo, it’s also got some gorgeous clean singing as well as the heaviest gutteral growls to date, showcasing their ability to traverse new terrain and doing it well. We still have 7” copies left of their previous LP but I think we’re totally sold out of their 2024 12”.

The final Sutras song premiere went up on Foxy Digitalis a few days back and I just took promo pics for the tape variants. There’s 20 swirl, 10 yellow, 5 brown, and 3 test dips. Wicked post-hardcore with shoegaze and indie elements. Click on the pic below or this text to go to the premiere!

The ‘all you are is we’ 12”s have arrived at CanaDave’s house and by golly they look awesome. If you don’t like yellow or red you’re gonna get pissed, but for everyone else this color scheme fucking rocks. Includes lyrics insert and comes in a yellow inner jacket to really smack your senses. I also played with them last weekend and they destroyed. Their full set can be viewed above. Helluva time. Release show poster below

Crossed got some love from Heavy Blog Is Heavy, making it yet another blog to boast about how incredible this album is. We apologize about the wait on the 12”s, but they hath arrived! Pics incoming. Thanks for your patience! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the list, jam/buy below before we sell out.

Avery Friedman got some love via Klof Mag for her ‘New Thing’ 12”LP releasing April 18th on Softseed. I’m obsessed with this thing and even have an upcoming podcast with her that should release sometime before the album drops in full. Absolutely stellar stuff. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review and jam/buy below!

Adobe Homes released two new songs from the upcoming 12”LP that we’ll be helping release this summer/fall. This thing has been years in the works and it kicks so much ass. You can catch’em at ZBR Fest in May!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LIFE = Oh shit there are two new EPs and they both kick ass. Hell yes.

2025 - 02 - 10 /// ZBR Fest final wave this Wednesday!

February 10, 2025 by David Norman

We had to bump the ZBR Fest final wave to Wednesday to allow for one more thing to run through the filter. So it’ll be final lineup, pre-show lineup, and ticket sales. Feel free to wear a diaper on your head cuz it might explode.

Coma Of Eris premiered two final songs from the upcoming self-titled cassette LP releasing this Friday February 14th, the first titled “Archers Take Aim” was put on the Operation X-Ray show, while the latter is titled “A Dip in Lake Drowning” and was just premiered this morning on Not Just A Phase. Hit that pic above or this text for the Not Just A Phase premiere, and jam the Operation X-Ray episode below (Coma Of Eris shows up at 1:23:47.

In Loving Memory sold out everywhere but…the US? What is happening? US store directly linked to this text.

Satsuma features Dan from The Reptilian on drums and they’ve got their debut EP releasing on Tomb Tree via cassette in late March, but you can scope this teaser trailer now!

Following the release of the Die Princess Die discography tape, CanaDave did this podcast with bassist Ely Morgan. Check it out, jam Scuba Cop, and definitely hit that discography release if you haven’t heard the absolute amazingness contained there.

Boonitunes gave some love to Athousandangelsandseven which definitely came out on ZBR. Only a handful of tapes remain and we won’t be making more!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the month’s roundup.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HYNOKI = This Virginia-based band released a single song and it’s fucking awesome. Check that shit out immediately.

2024 - 06 - 05 /// Terry Green out + Excrucis announcement

June 05, 2024 by David Norman

Terry Green is out and is kicking serious ass in the nicest, most Canadian way possible. Sorry, eh? Congrats to anyone who purchased in the first hour as we had a sale price for the hardcore fans so congrats to all who jumped at the opportunity to buy such a stellar album immediately. Both variants are going fast, with some going to Germany for distro through I.Corrupt and Zilp Zalp but they probably won’t arrive until late June/July.

There’s a sophomore Excrucis full length on it’s way and a teaser just released this morning. I gotta say, the first one on Tomb Tree (linked below) is great but this new album ‘There are Collectivities that Devour Souls’ is fucking exceptional.

A message from Nick:

Hey! My name is Nick Stetina, I’m a mastering engineer from outside of Chicago. Working on Lower Automation’s recent EP “Welcome to My Deathbed” turned me on to the Zegema Beach Records roster and I am STOKED. What a rad bunch of bands. In the spirit of working with artists and music that I am a genuine fan of I wanted to extend an offer to do a free test master for anyone in the ZBR+Tomb Tree family. I encourage you to hit me up as your wrap mixes for you next project; let’s make some noise together 🤘🏼

John from Usurp Synapse and Displacer came on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast and chatted with DehVE (that’s the Canadian one) about their original run, short-lived second run, and their current third incarnation that recently released ‘Polite Grotesquries’ aka the ‘AssIIAss’ EP. Jam/buy said EP here. Click on the pic above to go to the full blog post or just listen through Bandcamp below.

Demersal got some love from Scream Blast Repeat (our first look at the blog, too, and it’s great!). A few copies remain but won’t last till the end of the year, that’s fer sure. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam/buy below.

Operation X-Ray played Lower Automation and Nuvolascura in their most recent episode!!! Yum yum.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SMUSH = Softseed Music got in on the ground floor and will be releasing this stellar 12” with pre-orders opening upon digital release June 15th, 2024. Gorgeous but heavy shoegaze for fans of Slow Pulp.

2024 - 01 - 22 /// Music Video Imminent

January 22, 2024 by David Norman

We got in some Orchid 12”s but they sold out insanely fast, so we’ll snag more for February.

Waiting for more Tristan Tzara news? You got. Check back on Wednesday January 24th!!!

Edhochuli released the teaser for their upcoming music video and it’s fucking hilarious. I cannot wait to see this thing. New LP drops February 12th and you can catch them at ZBR Fest 2024 or any of the dates from the updated tour poster above!

Riversleem was featured on the No Echo Spotlight series, giving their 2023 sophomore 7”EP a boost. Check out that incredible thang below, or click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got some love from Operation X-Ray, who played “Martian Stealth Tec” on their most recent episode alongside a few more hours of bangers! Jam/buy ‘LP’ here!

2023 - 04 - 11 /// New Joliette!!!

April 12, 2023 by David Norman

In absolutely massive news, Joliette released the new single from their upcoming EP which Zegema Beach is releasing! Unparalleled experimental screamo from the Mexican masters. Jam the song over at Idioteq.com by clicking on the pic or this text. Full release later this summer!

Scenario teaser, full music video tomorrow on Brooklyn Vegan. New 12”LP releasing in full (digitally and physically) on Monday April 24th, 2023!!! Snag from Zegema Beach Records, The Ghost Is Clear Records, and Mishap Records.

Stereogum gave some love to the new 4-way split cassette that was released on Monday. Tapes are moving exceptionally fast, but that makes sense cuz we sold out of Alas and Hetta releases months ago. Go to the article by clicking on this text or the pic above.

Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

After a quick surge in Crowning purchases we’re now down to our last Crowning + Maree Noire split cassette. This won’t be made again (something else is planned muhahahaha) so snag this or forever hold your peace.

now sold out:
Foxmoulder discography cassette (a few No Funeral copies remain!)
Vi Som Alskade + They Sleep We Live split 7”
Euth 12”LP
Terry Green + Huge Cosmic split
Subjects/Rulers tape
Pictures Of June tape

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette)

Sold out

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette)

CA$7.50

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split cassetteEP (ZBR135)

for fans of: Youth Funeral, Itto, Loma Prieta, Kid Feral, Hundreds Of AU and Minaret.

This unbelievable split came about because the tour bands toured together in late 2017 in Canada, forging a tight bond that is now solidified on a small run of tapes. Both bands offer up three new jams, but alternate with each new track, making for a more cohesive listen that is more of a collaboration that a split. Chicago’s CROWNING continue to build a name for themselves, and with just reason, these songs are short, fiery blasts that are reminiscent of vocalist James’ old band Itto as well as Youth Funeral. Quebec’s MARÉE NOIRE drop three much more chaotic and aggressive tunes than their 2017 demo EP, falling somewhere between Kid Feral and Minaret.

150 copies on rubine red tapes with j-card and download code.

CanaDave banged out another Out Past the Rings for ZBR153 aka the Tröpical Ice Land and their latest album ‘D’. We’re long sold out but I think the other labels are still stocking plus the band definitely still has some on bandcamp! (listen to it here)
