Excrucis’ new and final release ‘There are Collectivities that Devour Souls’ is out and it’s fucking unbelievably good. We’ve got the tapes ready to ship as well as bundle sets available that includes their entire discography!!!

Tenue’s new 5-song album ‘Arcos, bóvedas, pórticos’ releases in full August 1st, 2024…then we’re taking a much deserved break, with only one more release coming out in August. Even Tomb Tree only has one release this month. Enjoy the rest of your summer!!! CanaDave is currently dubbing these tapes, only 50 will be made.

Onewaymirror got the This Noise Is Ours treatment and this is a friendly reminder that black and merge copies are low as fuck! Sleep now and forever hold your peace. Click on the pic above or this text to read the review, jam/buy that shit below.

2024 - 07 - 19 /// Detach The Islands + ZBR Fest 2024 video

July 19, 2024 by David Norman

ZBR Fest 2024’s video is out and it’s fucking awesome. I heard VHS copies are going on sale soon…like 10 or something silly. Keep an eye out on our Instagram for more info on that.

Detach The Islands have finally released their new album ‘A Highly Magnified History’ on 105 tapes via Tomb Tree. This thing is fucking unhinged to the max, bizarre, and fucking genius. Pics of the tapes above, jam below. Remember that Bandcamp upped their cut so our copies there are 20% more expensive than our stores aka GO BUY THEM FROM OUR STORES AND NOT BANDCAMP!!! If you click on this text you can check out the full premiere that happened on the 17th from Brooklyn Vegan which includes lotsa extra info.

A quick reminder that the Excrucis album ‘There are Collectivities that Devour Souls’ releases on Monday and we gotz two singles below. Album of the year contender without a fucking doubt. Shit slaps so hard.

Smush’s ‘If you were here I’d be home now’ got a ridiculously awesome review from Everything Is Noise. Looks like 12”s will be ready late Aug/early September. Jam below, links to buy via the embed. CanaDave will be at their next show on July 26th in Vancouver with distro items if you wanna come see a sick show and say hi to some screamo dude at a rock show. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Mourn Recif has an upcoming Victoria show on August 24th. The lineup hasn’t been released yet but I can say it’ll be the best screamo show on Vancouver Island in the past while. In the meantime you can check out the show’s predecessor where Mourn Recif got to meet and play with a buncha sick bands including Coup D’Etat, All That Decays, Bathtub Autopsy, and Chopping Block. Click on this text for the review and jam a Coup D’Etat video below.

The Aussie homies Gil Cerrone were on the most recent Not Just A Phase podcast and we’re running seriously low on our 12” copies which are set to arrive in the next two weeks (fingers crossed). You can jam/buy their new album by clicking on this text.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LETTERBOMBS = Our European friends have finally dropped a full length and it’s awesome!

2024 - 07 - 16 /// What's comin' up

July 16, 2024 by David Norman

Thursday July 18th is the ZBR Fest 2024 video documentary premiere. Join at 10am PST / 12pm CST / 1pm EST and watch it live with us.

Onewaymirror is out and doing well. The merges are running low, black is down to four copies left, and there is a test press on Bandcamp and in the U.S. store.

CanaDave interviewed Andrew (vocals) from .gif from god on his OMSB podcast which you can check out above or go to the full post (with additional links, text, etc.) by click on this text. You can snag the last few cassettes for ‘Digital Red’ below!

Here’s a direct embed to that new Excrucis song “Parasite”. What a banger. 11-song full length cassettes July 22nd on ZBR!!!

Operation X-Ray premiered a brand new Detach The Islands song!!! As well as Onewaymirror, Gil Cerrone, and Hillsboro!

This Noise Is Ours tackled the Spoiled release that we just put on 12” alongside Larry Records. Here’s the full review linked to the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below as Canada only has one copy left, Bandcamp and the U.S. store carrying about four copies each, then she done.

You should know we’re down to the last Terry Green copies of ‘Provisional Living’ already. This Canada/International store AND Bandcamp are completely sold out, leaving 4 splatter in the US store as our final copies. Get’em now! Eklektik Rock certainly knows what’s up.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VOTIVE = Ex-members of Gas Up Yr Hearse!, Foxmoulder, and Portrayal Of Guilt make up this powerhouse that unleashed their awesome debut this past week.

2024 - 07 - 12 /// Onewaymirror promo pics + Excrucis song premiere

July 12, 2024 by David Norman

Ooooo baby we gotz those sexy Onewaymirror 7”s in last night! These go up for sale on Sunday July 14th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST! 200 merge, 200 pink, 100 black, 5 tests and another 5 botched tests that we’ll put up at cost.

Gil Cerrone’s ‘Consumer’ released in full today so you need to check that fire out and keep it contained before it burns everything down. 12”s should arrive and ship by the end of July.

Excrucis had a song premiere on OMSB today and by golly it’s some serious fire. You can jam “Ceasefire” from the Zampler below or click on this text/the picture above to hear the brand new song “Parasite”. Both come off of the band’s July 22nd release ‘There are Collectivities that Devour Souls’ releasing on 100 tapes through ZBR.

The Beats Per Minute blog posted a massive missed list of stuff they hadn’t reviewed from the first half of 2024 and there are some ZBR and Tomb Tree things floating around in there like Terry Green and Basque. Check out the entire article by clicking on this text or the picture above. Terry is down to the literal last few copies.

Detach The Islands has a lot more coming out before they officially drop this new album on July 19th…expect another song premiere on Operation X-Ray tonight!!!

CanaDave’s homies Hillsboro are releasing their new EP in late August with 25 tapes on Softseed and another version on their own label Play Dead. New music video below, and you can tell they’re getting a lot heavier! :)

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DIAL = The dudes in Animal Faces told me about this last week and I’m in love. Oldie but goodie.
