September 28, 2023 by David Norman

For the next 24 hours this Canada/International store (yes it also ships to the U.S.) is having a 50% off everything sale!!! The half-off is applied with the Promo code of “FIDDYOFF” during checkout and will end at 8:59am PST on September 29th aka when the new Vibora 12” is released. Jam a jam below!

Vibora’s ‘Zaldi Beltza’ 12”LP releases in full tomorrow and we can’t say enough good things about it. If that previous track didn’t turn your head with it’s chugs, panic chords, and screams, then try “Dana” below, a much more expansive track that brings to mind bands like Boneflower, Descubriendo A Mr. Mime, and Altair.

Operation X-Ray played a ton of bangers including our own Riversleem and Niboowin!!! Woot effin’ woot.

Victoria BC’s Hillsboro and their debut 12”LP caught CanaDave so much that he had two of the members on the OMSB Podcast. Twas a really fun time! Def check out that album!!! Click this text or picture above to go to the post/podcast and jam the album below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OPHELIAC = Ophelia from Burial Etiquette released this incredible album and has another in the works!!!

2023 - 09 - 26 /// Riversleem's new 7"!

September 26, 2023 by David Norman

The Sleem is out. The Sleem rules. Get the Sleem. Only 100 ruby red 7”s were made.

My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest’s new full length is so effin’ good, omg. So the Canada/International store moved almost all of their copies (save one) so if you are looking the remaining copies can be found in the US store (linked here) and Bandcamp (embedded below).

Neuman Portentum came on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast to chat about their past in the late 90s, all the way up to this year’s ‘God Monster’ release! Click on the pic above or this text for the post, or jam the album below.

Hillsboro showed up on Staff Picks over at Exclaim. I reduced the price on the 12”s if you’re interested, embeded below. Click on the pic above or this text for the Exclaim article.

Social Caterpillar’s final single “The River” came out last week and is fantastic. Be sure to check it out as it premiered on Everything Is Noise with a great write-up. Click on this text for the link or jam the song below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: FAINTING IN COILS = Incredible demo! Can’t wait to hear more!!!

2023 - 02 - 25 /// Venns is next!

February 25, 2023 by David Norman

It was announced yesterday via this music video premiere that the newest Venns EP is the latest/last in our 7” push (before this was Horsewhip + Yashira and then Crowning + Eyelet). As of now we have no more 7”s at any plant and nothing planned. More info will be coming but for now just know we did 220 7”s over two variants, they are in stock and ready to ship on May 9th, and this music video fucks.

The Crowning + Eyelet split continues to sell well, with the U.S. store already sold out of their green copies (but this store still has about 5 left) and thus now the yellow will deplete even faster. Stereogum picked this up and raved about it so if you wanna check that out click on the pic above or this text. Nab a copy of either color via the product link below.

CROWNING + EYELET - Split (7")

CA$15.00

CROWNING + EYELET - Split 7” (ZBR318)

For fans of: Youth Funeral, Frail Body, United Nations, and Deafheaven.

Two current screamo heavyweights with 15 years worth of playing between them have teamed up for a new split 7” with two new songs from each band. Chicago’s Crowning have been a ZBR staple since their debut EP in 2017 carrying the mathy/sludgy/heavy torch, while Baltimore’s Eyelet are approaching a decade as a band and released one of the best records in a very long time with their ‘The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes’ (being played in full at this year’s ZBR Fest…along with an Eyelet/Crowning battle set!!!). Crowning’s two songs can be listened to alongside the Naedr split songs as they were all written under the same theme, while Eyelet’s jams are standalone bangers. Co-released on The Ghost Is Clear Records.

7” vinyl /300, 150 on green w/green-scorched innersleeves and 150 on yellow w/black innersleeves.

Letterbombs revealed a new song from their upcoming cassette/10” lathe that releases on Tuesday February 28th via Tomb Tree and Mangoe Records. Click on this text or the pic above to go to the full review or just jam it below.

Telos threw another track at us to increase salivation before dropping their full LP on March 18th via a plethora of labels (Tomb Tree will be doing the tapes exclusively). “Bastion” premiered on Idioteq.com and the band features members of Eyes, LLNN, Regarding Ambiguity, and Demersal. Click on the pic above or this text for the premiere, or just jam the song below.

Greed Worm and Blackwater Sniper were recently reviewed by This Noise Is Ours. A few deluxe tapes are still in stock in both stores! Click on the pic or this text for the review and jam/buy a tape below!

Lower Automation got more love, this time from Core and Co in France. Mash that translate button if needed. This album is fucking amazing and we’re stoked people picked up on that fact.

Operation X-Ray is back at it again, this time playing more killer tunes but adding in Crowning and Eyelet to the mix!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THEOPHONOS = This (basically) new Serpent Column album might just be their best yet. Wowza!!!

2023 - 02 - 22 /// Crowning + Eyelet split 7"

February 22, 2023 by David Norman

Surprise split 7” between two of screamo’s hottest bands CROWNING and EYELET! Vinyl is in hand and ready to ship from either yours truly or our buds at The Ghost Is Clear Records. There’s 150 of each variant (green and yellow) totaling 300 slabs of sickness.

Don’t forget that these two bands are skramzing-off with a battle set at this year’s ZBR Fest pre-show! The only way to get access to the pre-show is to buy a 2-day pass and those are dwindling!

Click on this poster to go to the ZBRFEST.com site where you can order tickets.

Also, if you need more Crowning in your life you can flush 30 minutes down the drain and watch their European tour documentary with Swallows Nest.

This Canada/International store just got key restocks for Hawak, Cinq, and Reverie! Only two more copies of each as we can’t keep them in stock! Cinq is very close to selling out btw.

HAWAK - nuoc (12")

CA$30.00

HAWAK ‘nuoc‘ 12"LP (ZB185)

For fans of: Kidcrash, Brahm and Beau Navire

It is time. One of the best screamo records of the last decade is finally upon us! HAWAK’s debut full length was delayed for over a year, but through the fire and the flames it carried on, and is finally available thanks to a proper vinyl pressing from Pirates Press. Technically the second time it's been pressed, first time made available to the screamo masses. Released on 300 gold records via Zegema Beach Records, Left Hand Label, and the band. 10 songs of jangly, noodley screamo goodness from the Bay Area, teeming with struggle, defiance, strength and solidarity. Mixing the band’s previous outfit Matsuri with a bit more Kidcrash and a bit more Loma Prieta, HAWAK’s debut 12”LP is astonishing in both its vision and execution. And the folks that play in the band are just plain dandy. ❤

12” vinyl /300 on marigold (2nd/good run). Includes insert booklet and stickers. 10 songs.
12” vinyl /300 on gold (1st/questionable run) not for sale until the 2nd run sells out.

REVERIE - Everything repeats itself forever (12")

CA$22.00

REVERIE ‘Everything repeats itself forever‘ 12LP" (ZBR288)

For fans of: Raein, Monte Ida, and Gillian Carter

Incredible, driving, romantic screamo from Italy. Dynamic shifts, passionate screams, epic-yet-concise...this really is an incredible album. 8 absolutely bangin’ screamo jam from the world’s primo screamo hot-spot in Italy, the record sways dangerously back and forth between blazing, violent, noisy, cathartic hardcore to serene, melodic, introspective melodic sections.

12” /300 on red transparent marble vinyl. Includes lyric insert. 8 songs.

Sear got a very in-depth review from Everything Is Noise last week and we’d be silly not to share it. Click on this text or the pic to go to the review.

Our final review comes from Demonic Nights for the new Lower Automation 12”LP that continues to simultaneously mystify and ruin brains. Click on this text or the pic above for the review and jam that shit below.

2023 - 02 - 03 /// Long.Way.Down. single

February 03, 2023 by David Norman

We put up the closer from Long.Way.Down.’s upcoming EP ‘until there’s nothing left’ because, quite frankly, we felt guilty sitting on such a ridiculous release. All six songs come out March 13th, 2023 on 75 tapes…which just arrived yesterday!

My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest also vomited a song all over Bandcamp today, another closing track, this one titled “forever” from the full length cassette ‘fragment’ due out this Monday on Tomb Tree!!! 37 tapes go live at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

The Yashira and Horsewhip split 7” recently got some love from the Lambgoat site! 7”s continue to move quickly. Click on the picture above or this text to go to the article. Maybe don’t read the comments lol

A friendly reminder that this Sunday February 5th, 2023 we will update the distro on both sites. The U.S. store (just search for vinyl and they will be at the top) will have a bunch of the Dingleberry/Shove distro that this Canada/International store mostly sold out of. A few remaining copies in this store are embedded below to give you a taste, but remember that most of these are down to a single copy, and when the US store has theirs go up they also only have one of most releases.
