Senza then Concealer

October 23, 2024 by David Norman

Alright y’all, Senza’s new 12”EP ‘Celestial Body’ is the next ZBR release and it all goes down on November 1st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. We did 500 copies alongside our long-time pals at Dog Knights Productions: 200 pink/blue/black merge, 150 pink, and 150 blue, all with etched b-side and 12-page lyric book. This thing looks incredible and we’ll have promo pics ready for next week, but for now here’s the cover art and a previously song from said five-track EP.

Orlando, Florida's Concealer released 'dissonance [all that keeps me away]' a few months back and it caught our attention immediately. Their take on metallic screamo was one that reminded us of greats like Dispensing Of False Halos and even Hopesfall, so we lined up those four EP songs alongside two brand new jams and will be releasing 'Heartfelt Entries' November 8th, 2024. CanaDave managed to wrangle all five members to make this podcast, click on this text or the pic above to go to the full post, or just listen/download below!

2024 - 10 - 09 /// Smush is in + Crowning to Japan!

October 09, 2024 by David Norman

Smush has arrived! Holy moly was that outside of the plant’s guaranteed time. Inserts are printed and the records look/sound great. Softseed Music made 150 of’em and they’re already more than half gone. U.S. store gets their copies when U.S. Dave returns from his Japanese tour with Crowning/Oaktails, and should all be shipped by the end of October. I’d probably keep an eye on their bandcamp btw!

Crowning cds are in stock in both stores + bandcamp. They are literally flying to Japan right now to join Oaktails for the tour. As stated, keep an eye on those bandcamps!

Members of Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Mourn Recif, and Hillsboro have a new group called Wollruss. Their first show is October 19th, 2024 at Oaklands with A Recorded Dawn, Shoplifter, and I.O.

Moshpit Nation unveiled their best of 2024 thus far and it’s littered with ZBR and Tomb Tree releases. Othiel, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Edhochuli, and Demersal among other incredible albums (and EP). Click on the picture above or this text to go to the full list complete with review.

Machine Music three-quarters of the way through 2024 top 100+ includes Eyelet at #76. “One of the best and most memorable screamo-esque releases thus far this decade”. Amen! 3rd press is embedded below via bandcamp or either store. Click on this text or the pic above to go to the massive list!

What’s next? Well those Smush 12”s were guaranteed to be finished last week and they’re still not done, so here’s hoping we get news asap, as I’ll have to email the plant again on Friday if nothing happens, cuz they are well outside of their production window :(

The Febuary cds should finish up in the next day or two (cuz we paid for a rush…but again these also aren’t done yet, and yes we did them at the same plant as the Smush 12”s :( Tentative release date is Sept 30th.

Bloom Dream tapes release September 28th! We won’t have many in stock and our cds are already dwindling. Check out their podcast with Edie on Everything Remade, embedded further down in this post.

We repressed the New Forms 12”LP ‘As Dust Collects’ on a brand new variant. Should release early October! Promo pics imminent.

We should be getting our Nuvolascura cds for their two full lengths in the next week so those will go up early October.

We’ve got some ‘Survival/Sickness’ cds from Crowning dropping October 6th as we can’t keep anything in stock from that release. Vinyl gone. Tapes gone. Vinyl repress gone.

Mid-October will see the release of Senza’s new 12”EP with silkscreened b-side titled ‘Celestial Body’. 3 variants. 500 copies. 5 brand new jams. Get fucking stoked.

Franky from Bloom Dream was on Everything Remade! Check out this funny and informative episode below and jam/buy that killer debut EP above!!!

Detach The Islands got some love from Eklektik Rock. Their release show is happening in October and we still got some tapes! Go to the review by click the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: OSCURO CULTO = This 10”EP is awesome, as we got some randomly in stock from Dingleberry and I fuckin’ love it. Really cool stuff.

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.

Click here for all the links you’ll need!

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.
