Big Stuff Thing #4 is almost here! December 28th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST we’ll be dropping the final copies of Euclid C Finder!, Cara Neir, Eyelet, plus some test presses of Kodan Armada, Wreck Of The Minotaur, Loftus, etc. aaaaaaaand some unearthed gems that include the first and third press of SeeYouSpaceCowboy’s ‘Fashion…’ 7” as well as a tour test edition /20!!! And that’s just in this Canada/International store!

There is 5 more days of Golden Ticket entering so all orders from THIS STORE until the end of December are entered into a draw to win one of either four Zampler #12s or the coveted golden ticket zampler that gets you free access to all of ZBR Fest 2023 in Chicago! In addition to the mages/hand-made variants we’ll also have a bunch of random out-of-print stock from the thinning of our personal collections as well as heaps of Shove Records distro stock that includes Raein, Phoenix Bodies, Encore Fou, Shibuya, A Flower Kollapsed, Afraid!, O, Saton, Filth In My Garage, Fierce, Tomblon, etc.

Yubari Gogo’s discography collection (which includes four new tracks) releases on December 28th at the same time as the Big Stuff Thing #4 in case you’d like to add one to your order. Super limited, only 35 exist via Tomb Tree! Here are the two primary/secondary variants and then we have some test dips too.

Tuff City Radio unveiled three unreleased bangers on Friday’s radio show including the aforementioned Yubari Gogo as well as Smile To The Wind’s new band The Minsk Sea (think Smile To The Wind meets Minaret…this shit is unreal) that releases Feb/Mar as well as a song by Japan’s Nhomme who have a mind-bending EP releasing mid-February on ZBR.

Massa Nera provided Idioteq.com with a very interesting, revealing, and gateway into their collective influences for the new record. A definite recommend as it’s a great way to A) see further into the band’s creative process and B) find out some sick new bands. Click on this text or the above screenshot to read all about it!

Nuvolascura was the subject of the newest Out Past the Rings and the shockwaves felt from the 2019 self-titled 12” still hit the shores of screamo on a daily basis. We’re down to our last two final copies and less than five tapes!

Works was picked on Machine Music’s “Nine Songs I Like This Week” and yet again we find works poppin’ up all over the place. This is exceptionally special because the reviewer generally jams the heavier stuff but was mesmerized by those dueling guitars! Click on this text or the picture to go there.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: TAPIOCA = My friend Marcel (whom I was in a short-lived band with) and their friends have been doing this project for years and the new full length is fucking awesome crusty metallic hardcore grind.
