2023 - 03 - 14 /// Long.Way.Down.
Venns 7”s continue to move, and the two-piece did a sick livestream in which they talked about 10 years of the band as their first release came a decade ago. Lots of info about their other bands, navigating the industry, and their ties to Zegema Beach. Watch it above and jam that awesomesauce below!
Blind Girls are coming to ruin the U.S. and Zegema Beach Records Fest 2023. They just released their poster w/dates and support and to be honest it’s beyond ridiculous.
CanaDave finally got his shit together and did another Out Past the Rings. This was served as double duty for Drei Affen’s latest 12”EP (listen here) as well as the second Tomb Tree Family Tree video for Grip’s ‘Early Iteration’ cassette (listen here). Want a 12” or tape? Too bad, all gone.
Nine Hertz came back at it again this week, dishing out props to Eyelet in particular. There is only once green copy left in our store which is embedded below!
CROWNING + EYELET - Split 7” (ZBR318)
For fans of: Youth Funeral, Frail Body, United Nations, and Deafheaven.
Two current screamo heavyweights with 15 years worth of playing between them have teamed up for a new split 7” with two new songs from each band. Chicago’s Crowning have been a ZBR staple since their debut EP in 2017 carrying the mathy/sludgy/heavy torch, while Baltimore’s Eyelet are approaching a decade as a band and released one of the best records in a very long time with their ‘The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes’ (being played in full at this year’s ZBR Fest…along with an Eyelet/Crowning battle set!!!). Crowning’s two songs can be listened to alongside the Naedr split songs as they were all written under the same theme, while Eyelet’s jams are standalone bangers. Co-released on The Ghost Is Clear Records.
7” vinyl /300, 150 on green w/green-scorched innersleeves and 150 on yellow w/black innersleeves.
