Vibora released in full!

February 20, 2026 by David Norman

Vibora’s new 12”LP ‘Egin Ez Dugun Guztia’ is out in full! Be sure to check it out, as it mixes the heaviness of Crossed with the melodic control of Boneflower. The vinyl is done but hasn’t shipped to us yet, so I think we’ll have’em and get them all out the door by the end of March. The stripe variant has turned into a tri-color due to heat…stuff. I dunno, that’s what the plant told us. Regardless, it’s sick!

With ZBR Fest 2026 about two-and-a-half months away, let’s take a second dip into the second ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. I don’t feel like Victoria BC’s A Recorded Dawn gets enough love, but maybe that’s because I get to see them every months. Their most recent split with Mourn Recif and their Zampler #25 contribution show the band’s evolution into dark, atmospheric screamo not unlike Ostraca, Infant Island, and Ambretta. Very stoked to have them playing the main fest with a buncha sick new material that’ll definitely turn a lot of heads, so come early! Click on this text to go to ZBRUSA.com

Hillsboro finally has a new song out (and music video) from their forthcoming lengthy EP this spring. Check out the video above and there’s a link to previous EP below. Wicked post-hardcore/shoegaze/alternative from Victoria!

Everything Remade had ma boyee Jesse Mowery from Biological Fathers (and Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, and Apostles Of Eris, and Majorel, and In Wolves’ Clothing, and…you get the idea) on and you should def give it a listen, as well as peep/buy the debut EP from the all-star band featuring members of Crowning, Frail Body, Eyelet, and New Grass!

Limbs got an extensive review from the always reliable This Noise Is Ours. We still got some tapes left of this final release by this Filipino band. Epic, experimental, fire that fans of Majority Rule, (early) WristMeetRazor, and Beast Jesus. Click on the pic above or this text for the review. Jam/buy below.

Magana was on Chapman Radio and did a four-song live video! Jeni is exceptionally talented and CanaDave has been releasing her stuff on Softseed so check out the video above and the newest release below!

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to the third Meditations In Affinity four-way split 7” ‘Solicitude’ featuring our very own Emma Goldman (with an exclusive track, no less) another really early Zibbur release (number 39 to be exact) which is the Secret Smoker x Alarms And Controls split 7”. This won’t be repressed as I don’t think either band is even active anymore. Snag now or forever hold your peace below. Watch the band play “Code Produced Comfort” above at ZBR Fest 2019!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NO TRUCKS OVER SEVENTY-FIVE HUNDREDS POUNDS x IT NEVER ENTERED MY MIND = Sick new split on BSDJ, scope it!!!

2026 - 2 - 16 /// Mercy Necromancy's 'Cruel' released on vinyl!

February 16, 2026 by David Norman

Mercy Necromancy’s ‘Fallen’ and ‘Cruel’ EPs are now housed on one vinyl 12”! Softseed Music made 111 of these so please go check it out and snag one if you like Dollanganger, Grimes, Del Rey, Cain, etc. Minimal instrumentals under the voice of an angel.

Well shit ZBR Fest is getting pretty goddamned close. So let’s go through the bands playing, shall we? We’ll call this the ZBR Fest 2026 Profile Feature. Yeah, that only took like 10 minutes to think up, lol.

For years Massa Nera was the ZBR Fest mainstay, but after they had to pull out of 2024’s fest it’s been The Caution Children who have taken up the mantle. Bringing everyone together in the best possible way, these Florida all-stars were phenomenal in both 2024 (linked here) and 2025 (embedded above), so it was a no-brainer giving these dudes the ZBR Fest title and inviting them back for a third year in a row.

We are super excited to announce the release of Carrion Spring’s new album ‘Those We Have Lost And Continue To Lose’ which will drop on March 6th, 2026! The 12” vinyl /250 are on the way to us and should be in hand a week before the release so we’ll have some nice pics for ya as soon as possible. Jam a new jam below. More info soon!!!

ZBR is releasing the next Dagerman 12”LP ‘Di fronte a noi il nulla’ on March 20th. The first single “Caino” is available to stream/download above. Wicked Italian screamo, baby! We have some 12”s from their debut LP below if you wanna scope. For fans of La Quiete, Raein, Ojne, etc.

Soastaphrenas’ second single is upon us. This band is ex-Spoiled and kicks serious ass whilst also charting new territory. Exciting stuff! Full release is likely early April and Tomb Tree will have 30 copies.

Maximum Rock’n’Roll had Sutras make their list (Zuzanna’s list) which is sick, but I honestly don’t know ANY of the other bands lol. I’m in the screamo dungeon, baby. Tapes still available below. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: WITH ONE EXCEPTION x CHIGAKI DEATH METRO = This split is great, the first half is dirty/chunky and the second half is sick emo-violence.

2026 - 2 - 13 /// ZBR Fest 2026 tickets are live + Carrion Spring 12"!

February 13, 2026 by David Norman

ZBR Fest lineup announced and tickets are live! The cap on this year’s fest in Vancouver is less than 200 so we’re looking at a pretty intimate time. Tickets are going fast, get’em at zbrfest.com

Our next big ZBR-only release is the next Carrion Spring full length 12” titled ‘those we’ve lost and continue to lose’ and it releases in full on March 6th, 2026 via 250 records. We won’t spoil the variant but it looks pretty fucking sick. You can scope the music video for “Pocket Full of Poseurs” from the album below!

Vi Som Alskade Varandra Sa Mycket’s debut 12”LP is finally back in press thanks to Moment Of Collapse and yours truly (but mostly Moment Of Collapse) as we only have 30 copies spread across our three stores. Phenomenal post-everything screamo from Sweden featuring a member of The Khayembii Communique.

CanaDave had a podcast with Mercy Necromancy right before a special surprise which happens on Monday. If you like ethereal, dreamy, dark-yet-beautiful singer/songwriter stuff you will fall in love with this artist (like I did!) and therefore you should buy a 12” copy of ‘Fallen’ before they’re all gone. All links in the full podcast post can be accessed by this text.

Today’s Last Fucking Copy goes to ZBR006, one of the very first releases we did. I think we did like 600+ 7”s and immediately afterward Germany’s Amber broke up and these vinyl just sat around. Now it’s more than a decade after it’s release and I’m down to the final copy. Snag now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LONELYISANEYESORE = Wicked new EP from this band on Vamonos Records!

2026 - 2 - 10 /// Biological Fathers + Clout Funeral released!

February 10, 2026 by David Norman

Biological Fathers aka screamo supergroup just released their fist three-song EP on cd and it’s as stupid-good as you’d expect. Featuring members of Majorel, New Forms, Crowning, Frail Body, and Eyelet, the conglomerate cast of friends absolutely knocked this outta the fucking park. The closer alone is worth the cd purchase…fuckin’ hell.

Clout Funeral’s ‘For Pepper…’ released yesterday on 101 cassettes, but don’t let that big number fool you, we’ve only got 25 for the label and the rest were needed for the North Carolina band’s shows! Wicked throwback screamo mixed with newer elements and other genres. Such a good EP and the song titles are hilarious to boot. Released on Tomb Tree.

ZBR Fest tickets go up this week, probably on Thursday! Maybe Friday! We’ll let you know though. No waves, just the full lineup and two-day passes for Red Gate in Vancouver on May 2nd and 3rd. The pre-show will likely go up in a few weeks, which happens May 1st on Vancouver Island in Victoria at Big Fernwood. While you wait why not check out last year’s fest videos?

Clout Funeral and Limbs were featured on the most recent episode of Operation X-Ray so check that shit out! Thanks Andre <3

Vocalist Brandon of Serrate joined our good friend Edie on the Everything Remade podcast! Check it out (I am doing so right now) and pick up their debut 12”LP before they sell out. Only red copies left!!! Maybe we’ll see them in…oooooooh, I dunno…May perhaps?

Toilet OV Hell featured our very own Sear and Gravess in the first ever Anti-Fascist Scrub! Both releases have sold very well, with Sear 12”s only having about 20 remaining and Gravess having 5 left! Click on the pic above or this text to access the full scrub. Jam/buy either album below!

I’ve stumbled across a final Lacrima 7” for ‘Cartography’ which features members of Funeral Diner, Hundreds AU, This Ship Will Sink, Massa Nera, and Coma Regalia!!! As we won’t be making more of these I strongly recommend you snag this Last Fucking Copy, and once it goes there are now tapes via Middle Man Records. Please pick this up from Bandcamp now or forever hold your peace.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FOREVER = Holy crap this group is ex-Swan Of Tuonela, Majorel, Massa Nera, etc.!

2026 - 2 - 06 /// Mieke's 'frau eva' 12" pre-order + Biological Fathers on Sunday!

February 06, 2026 by David Norman

New Zealand’s Mieke released the incredible ‘Frau Eva’ in August of 2025 and Softeed Music was all over that, so they’ve got some “funfetti cake edition” 12”LPs that should be shipping in late April. If you like grungy-yet-beautiful shoegaze mixed with minimal ethereal singer/songwriter material.

Oh and in uhhhhh…completely unrelated news, we’ll be posting the ZBR Fest tickets next week! We’ll have the tickets up for the two-day fest on May 2nd and 3rd in Vancouver at Red Gate, with the May 1st pre-show following the week after.

Today you can get a sneak peak at the all-star release from Biological Fathers coming out in full this Sunday, as the band just put up the opener “Caddy”. ZBR had cds for the full release this Super Bowl Sunday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. These three songs are phenomenal and feature members from Frail Body, Crowning, New Grass, Eyelet, and Majorel! Holy fuck!!!

Clout Funeral’s new EP ‘For Pepper…’ releases on Monday via Tomb Tree! This thing is wicked and honestly sounds a lot like it was written 25 years ago, giving it a huge throwback feel whilst incorporating their own unique spin on it. We made a buncha tapes but with most going to the band we’ll only be keeping 25 so be sure to check it out upon its release! 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST…you know the drill.

Everything Is Noise gave Sear some love…I think? Screamo never sleeps, my friends. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy the album below as our 50 copies have dwindled significantly since last month’s release.

Vibora got a much more in-depth feature from Everything Is Noise two weeks before their new 12”LP drops. Like a mixture of Boneflower, Crossed, and Storm{o}, this Spanish quartet are gonna blow some minds. We’ve also got a second press of their previous full length which you can access by clicking on this text. Go to the article above. Pre-order the new record below.

Blue Youth got a shoutout/play from CHRW Chin Music via their 2025 Favourites pt.2 so please pick up the ‘Defeatist’ 12” cuz it kicks majory ass and we’re hella out their debut 12”.

Oh shit we still a Drei Affen x Coma Regalia split 7”! Much like the previous Last Fucking Copy, as we sold out years back but I imported the last copies from Europe a year or so ago and for some reason this last one is still here. Please rectify and pick this up from Bandcamp now or forever hold your peace. Thus concludes today’s Last Fucking Copy.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: EYELET = The new record from the homies is out! Wax mages are gone but nebula and the other two variants are still in stock!!! If you want the previous 12”LP you can snag ‘The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes’ by clicking on this text.
