rest of August

August 16, 2024 by David Norman

A quick weekender to tide you over till next week, but first a quickie schedule:

Monday August 19th: Edhochuli ‘Higherlander’ 12” second press

Friday August 23rd: Hillsboro cassette EP on Softseed Music

Monday August 26th: ZBR Fest VHS take 2

This fest talk is coinciding perfectly with our single-band fest videos that have started popping up on Youtube and now include some bonus jams! First up, Naedr and Gxllium!!! Keep an eye on our channel to get all the latest videos as they premeire.

Riversleem visited CanaDave as the final part of their first West Coast tour. Idioteq.com also bumped that sick bowling music video. Click on this text for the full article and music video. Below are some pics of the band <3

Closet Witch music video is out on Youtube give that thing a jam, get destroyed, then buy the 12”.

Edie from Middle Man Records and Coma Regalia is in a tough spot. Let’s be honest, funding other people’s art is fucking hard. We definitely know. If Edie has ever released any of your music please consider giving money to her gofundme (or even if she hasn’t) and we can help her reach their goal to cut ties with their creditors. Click on this text or the pic above to give.

Equalizing Distort has been playing lots of cool shit lately and their July 21st episode is no different. Check out Lower Automation and Animal Faces by clicking on this text.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: NORFAIR = Sick new Michigan screamo!

2024 - 08 - 13 /// Reia Cibele & news ketchup

August 13, 2024 by David Norman

Reia Cibele tapes were just released on Tomb Tree on a rare run of just 31. The self-titled, five-track, debut EP from this Portuguese band is fucking stellar. Jam a song or two and hear what I mean.

Closet Witch released a new music by Mark Warm (yes, that amazing human) for their (arguably) best song on their newest 12”LP ‘Chiaroscuro’. We still got copies including a few of the European variants! Click on the pic above or this text for the No Clean Singing premiere of said music video.

This Noise Is Ours did a piece on Ieatheartattacks. Easily one of CanaDave’s all-time faves, we have just a handful of tapes left and we won’t be making more. RIP you awesome dead dudes. Click on this text or the pic above to read. Jam/buy below.

Smush did a podcast with CanaDave cuz…let’s be real, he loves that shit. 12” pre-orders still open! Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Jam/buy below!

CanaDave is in Mourn Recif and they’re playing in Victoria this August 24th alongside Emma Goldman, Coup D’etat, and Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead. Distro will be available. Email us requests of stuff to bring at zegemabeachrecords@gmail.com

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: COUP D’ETAT = This Victoria-based band’s new promo is awesome, but their upcoming album will be even better!

2024 - 08 - 12 /// We're back!!!

August 12, 2024 by David Norman

Hey yo! What’s up!?!?!?! The Daves are back and ready to kick some ass. New Friends Fest 2024 was awesome and the we got some serious screamo desserts. What’s next? Well we had so much happen during our break that I’ll be posting today and Tuesday (which doubles as the Reia Cibele tape release on Tomb Tree), so get ready for a full course screamo meal. Screamo is food? You betcha.

Riversleem just released another sick music video from their second EP on 7” /100. “Exit Essential Dread” is a fuckin’ banger and bowling fucking rules so you can’t go wrong. Get Sleemed, my friends!

Onewaymirror got the This Noise Is Ours love and rightfully so. 7”s still in stock but they move continuously so I reckon we’ll probably sell out before the year is out. Click on the logo above or this text to go to the review. Listen/buy below! Bandcamp was restocked just now as well!

Smush got interviewed by Idioteq.com! 12”s arrive in about a month and I’ll keep raving about it till then…and probably afterward, too. CanaDave’s likely Album of the Year!!! Click on this text or the pic above to go to the interview. Jam/buy below!

Olth came out the day the Daves crossed countries/flew across a country and we moved a ton in that time. We’ve got only a handful of Rando Rainbow left (I think just the 3 on bandcamp, 1 in the Canada store and 15 in the US store) and about 3x that amount for the tri-merge.

Tenue flew on their August 1st release, unfortunately CanaDave also flew to Ontario and didn’t have time to ship the U.S. copies till today. They should arrive and be sent out in two weeks so those Mericans need a bit o’ patience <3 We also restocked Bandcamp with a single copy of each variant from the Canada store, otherwise we are almost sold out! Ordering more this week.

Operation X-Ray played more heat last week with our upcoming Reia Cibele amidst more bangers as well as Softseed Music’s next release from Hillsboro on August 23rd!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: LAYER:0 = This slaps so hard. Sounds like Hayworth x Fallingwithscissors x Wreck Of the Minotaur x Sawtooth Grin.

2024 - 01 - 22 /// Music Video Imminent

January 22, 2024 by David Norman

We got in some Orchid 12”s but they sold out insanely fast, so we’ll snag more for February.

Waiting for more Tristan Tzara news? You got. Check back on Wednesday January 24th!!!

Edhochuli released the teaser for their upcoming music video and it’s fucking hilarious. I cannot wait to see this thing. New LP drops February 12th and you can catch them at ZBR Fest 2024 or any of the dates from the updated tour poster above!

Riversleem was featured on the No Echo Spotlight series, giving their 2023 sophomore 7”EP a boost. Check out that incredible thang below, or click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow got some love from Operation X-Ray, who played “Martian Stealth Tec” on their most recent episode alongside a few more hours of bangers! Jam/buy ‘LP’ here!

A truly remarkable band from two decades ago, For The Mathematics, were on CanaDave’s podcast. If you aren’t familiar with this band…mmmmmm maybe do so ;) Click on this text to go to the full post or just listen below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: UNSUFFERABLE = New 7” from a bunch of awesome people!

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
