Wax Vessel is having their 5-Year Anniversary sale this Friday at 11am PST / 1pm CST / 2pm EST and they’ll have some ZBR-themed merch as near the beginning we were partnered up and sending out their orders, but with their incredible growth we just couldn’t keep up with the shipments. Our hats off to Nik and the gang as they have created something truly special. We appreciate you <3

Operation X-Ray played more Smush (get on the 12” pre-order!) and the almighty Animal Faces that seem to be getting some well-deserved extra love from some new fans.

---

Crossed got a whopping 9/10 (for an EP, no less) on the recent Crossed Letters (coincidence?) so you should check that out and buy yourself the 12” for ‘Vida Quieta’ because it fucking rules and the members of the band are all such sweethearts. Click on this text for the review!

Hamilton’s Constrain got a nice writeup from Crossed Letters which I’ve linked below, and Not Just A Phase gave them additional love. Click on this text for Crossed Letters and the pic above for Not Just a Phase. Jam/buy below!

CanaDave interviewed Craig Woods from a buncha wicked bands like D’Amore, Fall On Deaf Years, Towers, The Feat, Pink Guys, etc. Full post linked to this text.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: CNYNS = Our boy Bobby Johnson and his friends released a new cover album and it’s sick.

2023 - 11 - 13 /// Obroa-skai podcast

Obroa-skai’s newest member and second guitarist Chris Djuric took some time to talk to CanaDave on the OMSB Podcast. That officially makes every Obroa member comin’ on an OMSB Podcast, so I’ve embedded those under Chris’. ‘Science Progresses One Funeral at a Time’ releases in full this Friday November 17th on 100 12”LPs. Click on this text for the OMSB post or just listen below.

Vi Som Älskade Varandra Så Mycket’s second and ridiculously amazing gatefold 12” ‘Det onda. Det goda. Det vackra. Det fula.’. Watch above and/or listen below. Black 12” copies and a few cassettes still remain!!!

---

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: VESSELS CAST FROM CRIPPLED HANDS + DESTROYER DESTROYER = ‘The Spiderbear Tales’ is a righteous good time, and the complete opposite of the two bands in the most recent Out Past the Rings.

2023 - 02 - 14 /// Nhomme out, here's what's next

Two primary things in this post: first is the upcoming Greed Worm and Blackwater Sniper split cassette that we did special clear dvd-style cases with two-sided covers that double as lyric/credit inserts. The full release goes up on Tomb Tree’s bandcamp this Thursday along with these tapes. The previous/debut Greed Worm EP is long sold out and we won’t have many copies of this new split as the band’s will be selling most of them at shows. Thursday! 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!!

---

Second is the Nhomme release which happened yesterday. I’m not blind. I saw the posts. People definitely picked up on how ridiculously impressive this EP, and sales supported this. If you’re interested that’s a hard recommend as no way these tapes don’t disappear soon, we sold about 70% in the first 24 hours and I know there’s at least one distro looking for 5-10 copies so these might be sold out any day now! If you need further glowing reviews check out the Borderline Fuckup post, it’s spot on. And linked to this text!

CA$6.00

ZBR087

KING SLENDER - 'King Slender' cassette
released November 2017

ffo: Wolves, Daniel Striped Tiger and Secret Smoker

Tight as fuck hardcore punk with strong leanings towards emotive hardcore and I guess therefore screamo. Desperate yells, driving drums, rolling bass and intricate guitar riffs envelop all four songs in late 90s emo.

50 smokey metallic tapes with j-card in a resealable plastic bag. 4 songs.

Revolutions Per Mile stepped into a half-decade time machine jumper and went back to review the SeeYouSpaceCowboy and Secondgradeknifefight split 7”. Their label asked us to remove it from our bandcamp but noticed that all the other labels still have it up. Ah well. Click on this text or the pic below to go to the review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: A NEEDLE UNDER THE NAIL = I’m usually good with checking out every Wax Vessel release, but something happened and I missed this one only to have it recommended to me by none other than Nik The WV himself. Oh my god he was right. This double-EP compilation is bonkers good.
