2023 - 06 - 02 /// Olth + Faffle!
Olth is out. No more needs to be said. Check that shit out immediately.
The Faffle is here. All of CanaDave’s extra mage, handmade, stupid fancy, and test press 12”s will be raffled off for the last time! A few months back we held the Zaffle and the expected funeral turned out to be a party, as CanaDave was originally super sad but after the fact he was elated. There is no need for multiple copies of gorgeous records to sit on a shelf on Vancouver Island, let’s get those back into the hands of fans. From June 2nd to June 15th the final raffle tickets will remain open with the final Faffle draw happening on Thursday June 15th at 6pm PST / 8pm CST / 9pm EST live on Instagram. Every other day or so we’ll update with pics of stuff that will be in the Faffle…like the pictured Eyelet 1st press Wax Mage /25. Snag a ticket or buncha tickets below. Each ticket gets you one step closer to winning an item on the Faffle wheel, and if you win your remaining tickets are taken out. We’ll start with the crowdpleasing mages, followed by hand-mades, stupid fancies, and then the last couple test presses (one of which hasn’t been released yet!).
The Vault will open up on June 10th and close on June 15th at 6pm PST, same as the Faffle deadline. The Vault, like last time, will house a bunch of personal copies of tapes, vinyl, t-shirts, cds, stickers, and posters that have either been sold out for a long time or were never posted for sale. These products will appear in a “The Vault" tab which will become visible one June 10th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST at the top navigation column of this website (up there with ZBR News, Canada/International Store, U.S.A. Store, etc.
We will start posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played. Therefore, here’s the literal fest opener “Lost” by Apostles Of Eris from their split with Pique. There’s a single 12” left on our bandcamp!
After a few weeks of silence Out Past the Rings is back with the unintended discography release for Croatia’s Mališa Bahat. Check it out above or better yet immerse yourself in the songs below. Or buy a tape!
Is it should follow, Mališa Bahat is the subject of the next Hiding in the Outpost, aka the last of something we’ve got. There is one swirl copy in this store (linked below) and one copy on our bandcamp. Once they’re gone they’re gone!
MALIŠA BAHAT - Thus Far (cassetteLP) (ZBR160)
