Gxllium! released ‘Breakup songs’ on Tuesday and all of our tapes sold out in less than an hour. I’ve included pics so you can see them, but they’re out until all copies arrive at their homes, then I have three extra copies that I’ll put when I know it’s safe to. We’ll also be making more, at the very least tapes, and perhaps doing more formats. Spotify isn’t up yet but I’ll post it when I can.

Just a reminder that we made those Nuvolascura cds and there’s only a handful left and will be sold out before Halloween. The US store has a single copy of the ST and bandcamp has two, the new LP is sold out. Linked above (in stock) and below (sold out).

AJ from Colacon and Holly Caught A Contact High, and Vamonos Tapes went on the OMSB podcast with CanaDave and had some very intriguing conversations. There are still a few copies of the Colacon 12”/100 remaining, snag’em before they gone!!! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full post, or just listen below.

Everything Is Noise did their September roundup which includes Bloom Dream and Split Silk! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full list. Jam them below, but I think Bloom Dream is pretty much out and Split Silk is getting there!

Operation X-Ray’s most recent episode featured a ton of sick stuff including Crowning, Venus Twins, and Nuvolascura! Venus Twins 12”s are still in stock but the merge is almost gone.

This Noise Is Ours gave the very underappreciated Dim Into Dross and their sole release. We have no tapes left. Check it out and click on this text or the pic above, and jam it below!

Stereogum picked up the Crowning/Oaktails split along with some other cool releases and thoughts on Blood Brothers at Best Friends Forever. Click on this text or the pic above to go there, and/or jam the split below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CLAYBORNE = This Montreal band sent us some of these 12”s for distro and I fucking love it. Epic post-everything. Snag one here!

2024 - 10 - 13 /// Nuvolascura cds on Monday!

October 13, 2024 by David Norman

We’ve made cds of the two Nuvolascura full lengths (100 of each) alongside the band, but we’ve only got 25 of each! These release on Monday in both stores and our bandcamp, then it’s prep time before we absolutely pummel you with amazingness in November with new Senza, new Concealer, and new Gxllium!

This store got another distro update, this time with a lot of rando stuff and updates on long sold out releases. Definitely check our bandcamp for final copies shed by CanaDave including Iwroteyourhaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook, Rainmaking, Blind Girls, In Loving Memory, and Komuso/Setsuko. There’s also a bunch of ZBR pencils & single items from Wax Vessel that we got some extra copies of, including the ZBR->WV logo switch shirt! All of those items are in the new items/special are…linked to this sentence.

Gxllium! has a new EP dropping on Oct 15th! OMSB is premiering “Axel Peart” right now! Tapes from yours truly at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on said date. Click this text or the pic above for the full post!

Crowning + Oaktails have their final show in Japan tonight. New release is out.. Split tapes a comin’…probably late November, maybe early December.

Bloom Dream got some hefty and well-deserved love from Heavy Blog Is Heavy in their October roundup. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy that shit below!

The 188th Out Past the Rings is for Infant Island’s ‘Sepulcher’ tape/12”. It’s very dense and goated. Somehow we have one copy of a few variants in stock, get’em before they gone…all linked below!!!

Lower Automation got some love from Score AV, check out the review linked to this text and jam/buy below! The blue swirls are now hella low.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: ENVY = I put this here in case you somehow missed that that longest running screamo band just released a banger of a new album.

2023 - 12 - 12 /// Inosuke out, Blind Girls tomorrow!

December 12, 2023 by David Norman

Onewaymirror sold out in less than 12 hours, so that’s nice. Thanks y’all! A repress is highly likely.

Next up, ZBR Fest 2024 early bird tickets + Wave 1 releases this Friday. You are not fucking ready, holy shit.

Lastly, we had the digitals for Inosuke release yesterday along with 12” pre-orders that should be shipping by the end of January. Please jam that shit below! Buy links are located there also.

I’m on my knees praying to the mage gods, as the /25 Wax Mage variant of the ‘The Weight of Everything’ 12”LP second press by Blind Girls is beyond sensational. This is a co-release with No Funeral and Life Lair Regret Records. These go live on December 13th a little later than usual, 1pm PST / 3pm CST / 4pm EST. Our tapes our almost out! Canada+International here / Bandcamp copies here

Riversleem’s music video is officially on youtube and our 7”s are runnin’ low! Get one of the best EPs of 2023 and they’re only /100!

CanaDave had the legendary Gifts From Enola on his OMSB podcast. There’s some…uhhhhhhh…important info in there :) Go to the full post by clicking on the pic above or this text. If you wanna go straight to the podcast it’s below. More info soon!

Massa Nera showed up on Idioteq.com’s 10 Extremely Vulnerable Post-Hardcore Albums Not To Miss. They also released Derramar | Querer | Borrar’s remixes which you can check out here. Hopefully we see them this summer :)

Beats Per Minute released their Top Songs of 2023 and our very own Olth showed up there. Obviously. Click the pic above or this text for the full list.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CAPSULE = Would you look at that…new Capsule, aka the gods of mathy screamo.

2023 - 09 - 08 /// Premiere City

September 08, 2023 by David Norman

Oooo baby after a few days of silence all three of our labels had a premiere go down! First is Euclid C Finder via No Clean Singing for Zegema Beach (releases October 27th), then there was Tomb Tree’s My Hair Is A Rat’s Nest which got picked up by Stereogum (releases September 21st), and finally CanaDave’s newest label Softseed Music saw a song/music video release from Social Caterpillar via Idioteq.com (releases October 7th). Click on each picture to go to the corresponding premiere!

CanaDave and (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) did a podcast with Rob, founder of Not Just A Phase podcast. Click on this text for the very entertaining introduction and additional links.

Operation X-Ray did a double-episode this week with tons of ZBR and Tomb Tree stuff including: Crowning, New Forms, Widowdusk, Joliette, Piet Onthel, and Vibora!

Restocks going down in the Canada/International store tomorrow morning at 10am PST so check back for some hard-to-find awesomeness!!!

Hey! If you have ever wanted to be a part of one of the grave, neighbors Halloween cover compilations that I do, this may be your last chance. To be honest each year it’s getting more and more difficult to get people to submit. Last year, some friends came through at the last minute and help me wrangle up some more songs, but this year it’s starting to look like i’ll have to do a bunch myself if I want to make a decent size compilation out of it. Anyway, if you have an unreleased recording of a cover song or would like to do one and can submit it by October 1, Let me know. I would love to continue doing this but if there’s no interest maybe I should just let it go.
