As our slow month concludes we enter the very front-heavy September schedule which is thus:

ZBR:

September 5th = BLOOM DREAM 'It Didn't Have To Be This Way' cd/cassette EP: Holy freakin' smokes is this one bad-ass release. Brooding, massive, sexy, and melodic stuff from Miami with beefy four-minute jams. Pressing on 100 cds and 50 cassettes. For fans of: Othiel, Hawak, and Crowning

September 17th = HALLAM FOE 'Funkapokalips' 12" lathe EP: This Indonesian four-piece have been making waves for years, so we are stoked to bring you their brand new 6-song EP 'Funkapokalips' on one-sided 12" lathe. Still screamy, sassy, and heavy, the band embraces some moshier and experimental moments on this one. Pressing on 25 clear and 25 black lathes. For fans of: SeeYouSpaceCowboy, Piri Reis, and Heavy Heavy Low Low

September 30th = FEBUARY 'February' cdLP: It doesn't get more screamo than this - become a sick screamo band, build hype with live shows, record a single batch of incredible songs, break up. Goddammit. Pressing on 100 cds with gatefold digipak. For fans of: The Lazurus Plot, Clay Birds, and Montcalm.

TOMB TREE:

September 10th = SPLIT SILK 'Bitter' cassette EP: Following two very promising EPs is this new, full-band (solo project no longer!) release shows heaps of progress. Featuring two new songs and an additional two live recording jams, the band's angular, noisy, rock is as refreshing as it is piercing. Ex-Under A Sky So Blue. Pressing on 80 cassettes: 35 red glitter swirl, 30 red, 15 white/red swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case. 4 songs. For fans of: Burial Etiquette, Against Me, and Unwound.

SOFTSEED MUSIC:

September 6th = LEAVS 'Natura Universal' 12"LP: This Spanish shoegaze/alternative band boasts ex-screamo alumni from Tropical Ice Land, and this album hits just as hard - but in a different way. It's gorgeous, heavy, melodic, and catchy. Plus the music video rules and it's embedded below. Pressing on 300 12" records but Softseed will only have 25 copies. 8 songs. For fans of: Slow Crush, Julie, and Smush.

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split (cassette)

CA$7.50

CROWNING / MARÉE NOIRE - Split cassetteEP (ZBR135)

for fans of: Youth Funeral, Itto, Loma Prieta, Kid Feral, Hundreds Of AU and Minaret.

This unbelievable split came about because the tour bands toured together in late 2017 in Canada, forging a tight bond that is now solidified on a small run of tapes. Both bands offer up three new jams, but alternate with each new track, making for a more cohesive listen that is more of a collaboration that a split. Chicago’s CROWNING continue to build a name for themselves, and with just reason, these songs are short, fiery blasts that are reminiscent of vocalist James’ old band Itto as well as Youth Funeral. Quebec’s MARÉE NOIRE drop three much more chaotic and aggressive tunes than their 2017 demo EP, falling somewhere between Kid Feral and Minaret.

150 copies on rubine red tapes with j-card and download code.
