2023 - 10 - 26 /// Euclid C Finder! is tomorrow!!!

Euclid C Finder! drops at midnight tonight! We’ll have tapes available at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST and you can snag vinyl (ships December, I think) from Dark Trail Records. Here are the tape variants, but we’ll have a boxed /10 variant tomorrow also, we just won’t have pics till the morning.

My Condolences received the swirl package by Tomb Tree and features Jordan of Scenario on guitar/vox! Really sick stuff recorded and mixed by our mutual friend Jane <3 Only 32 copies exist!

Elle was the subject of the most recent Out Past the Rings, #170 to be exact. These are long sold out but if you’d like some extra info check that embed below or just go jam the stellar LP that is ‘…’ right fucking here.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MANSIONS = Oh my god yes new Mansions! I really loved the dark minimalist synth stuff but they’re back at the poppy shoegaze stuff, both are great!

2023 - 06 - 27 /// Distro Drop pushed back to 6/28

First and foremost, the distro drop has been pushed back 24 hours because, simply put, we have so much stuff to update. What do we have going up? Well a bunch of restocks, but looking next to me here I see vinyl by Telos, Osmorg, Flowers Taped To Pens, Reka, Resurrectionists, Shirokuma, Graf Orlock, Sweat, Dangers, Moxiebeat, Gros Enfants Mort, Barabbas Du Förtappade, Whane, etc. and tapes from Botfly, New Friends Fest, Un Automne De Plus, Life In Vacuum, Joliette, etc. and the full cd split series from Post Marked Stamps/Blue Post Snowmanz…you know, the ones with Burial Etiquette, We Are On Fire, Pyre, etc. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm PST on Wednesday June 28th!!! Both stores!

We announced our involvement with Othiel via the music video premiere that went down yesterday. 12”s should be in hand this fall to release with the entire full length. Seriously, this band is incredible and we’re still in disbelief that they weren’t on our radar before submitting the LP to us!

Be on the lookout for a brand spankin’ new Lower Automation video tomorrow!

Terry Green couldn’t make the 2022 fest because the Canadian passport office was generally drunk and untrustworthy. Luckily we got their sexy Canadian asses on the 2023 fest and they did not disappoint. Showcasing their signature sound and expanding it with new/unreleased songs, it was a fucking treat for everyone there. We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: GRAF ORLOCK = The band’s final 7” was released a few days back and it’s incredible! We’ll have just a few copies in stock tomorrow for the massive distro update!

2023 - 06 - 07 /// Joliette music video

Joliette has a new music video for their song “Lemus” off of their upcoming ‘Luz de Bengala’ 12”EP. We put this sucker to press recently so expect a full release later this summer.

The Faffle is just over a week out! All of CanaDave’s extra mage, handmade, stupid fancy, and test press 12”s will be raffled off for the last time on June 15th at 6pm PST / 8pm CST / 9pm EST live on Instagram! Every other day or so we’ll update with pics of stuff that will be in the Faffle…like the pictured 4-Way stupid fancy /50 and a Terry Green test press /5! There’s more comin’, but snag some tickets below if you’re already starting to salivate. Each ticket gets you one step closer to winning an item on the Faffle wheel, and if you win your remaining tickets are taken out. We’ll start with the crowdpleasing mages, followed by hand-mades, stupid fancies, and then the last couple test presses (one of which hasn’t been released yet!). Winners have to pay shipping.

CanaDave is workin’ his ass off getting The Vault ready for it’s June 10th opening (it closes June 15th at 6pm PST, same as the Faffle deadline). Like last time, it will house a bunch of personal copies of tapes, vinyl, t-shirts, cds, stickers, and posters that have either been sold out for a long time or were never posted for sale. These products will appear in a “The Vault" tab which will become visible one June 10th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST at the top navigation column of this website (up there with ZBR News, Canada/International Store, U.S.A. Store, etc.

Aux.Aura’s debut EP drops on Tuesday June 13th! Take a look at the variants above: 18 on blue swirl, 10 black and white swirl, 10 halfsies swirl, and 5 test dips. Jam a face-melter below.

New Forms. Fucking New Forms yo. They absolutely slayed the pre-show. I was in awe. Here’s a quick video giving you some idea of the power and emotion this band brought to a small-ass basement show. As we will start posting the single videos for each band that played ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, there’s more coming!

Here’s a new Hiding In The Outpost for the Drei Affen and Coma Regalia split 7” that just showed up from a German trade from Dingleberry. Last copy!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: SICKLE EATER = This incredible new project just posted their second song and it’s a banger just like the first!
