2024 - 09 - 01 /// Hefty September

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.

You will be seeing a lot of tour posters from bands playing ZBR Fest popping up here in case you are in the path of destruction, or in this it’s a post-ZBR Fest tour. Today’s poster is for the Jeromes Dream tour, we released a tribute to them years ago and they are gonna destroy us all at ZBR Fest 2023. P.S. if you didn’t see they released a new music video and it’s fucking amazing.

Taubenhund released on Tomb Tree earlier this week so be sure to take a gander, some test dips still remain!!!

Today’s Hiding In the Outpost (aka our last copy of something):

I found Dollores randomly in a Ukranian screamo compilation video and dove deep, then purchased the last cassette off of my friend’s label. I think reached out to them and the band asking if we could also make some copies. They said yes. Then they sold. Now I have one left. Probably won’t make them again as the band was only active until 2012. Now or never!!!

now sold out:
Foxmoulder discography cassette (a few No Funeral copies remain!)
Vi Som Alskade + They Sleep We Live split 7”
Euth 12”LP

sold out

from CA$9.00

DOLLORES ‘2010-2012‘ tape (ZB233)

For fans of: I Hate Sex, Saetia and Eyes of Verotika

After purchasing the last tape from Bus Stop Press and completely falling in love with Ukraine’s DOLLORES, we had to make more and get it on our bandcamp. Good lord of science almighty these 11 groovy, screamy, golden nuggets have a wonderful swing to them and some of the best vocals we’ve ever heard. If you combine I Hate Sex with Suis La Lune it’d sound something like this - fucking incredible. New art by Kyle Calvert design with two differnt inner j-card variants and a bunch of gorgeous tapes.

Cassettes /78, 28 on blue swirl, 20 on yellow swirl, 10 pink swirl, 10 blue, 10 mystery swirls and 4 test dips, all with double-sided j-card and download code. 11 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: UN AUTOMNE DE PLUS = Another new release from this French band, definiitely the screamiest of their material thus far.

2022 - 04 - 10 /// Mattachine 7"s tomorrow

Somehow we kept this under wraps for almost a year, the Mattachine 7” for ‘Isolation is a Form of Torture’ EP that we released on cassette back in 2020. 150 copies across three variants, the Stupid Fancy (pictured) and red/black merge with white splatter are the Zegema Beach Variants, with the band taking the red/black merge. See you in 24 hours (or less) on April 11th, 2022 at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. The 7”s will appear in the already posted product for the cassette (in Zegema Beach Releases in this store).

Click on these words for the Crossed review on Stereogum, the “Flores Rotas” music video is embedded below, and a reminder that the album ‘Morir’ released this past Friday!

sold out

CROSSED - Morir (12")

CA$25.00

CROSSED ‘Morir‘ 12"LP (ZBR281)

For fans of: Cursed, Tentacles, and Majority Rule.

The sophomore full length from Spain’s CROSSED is every bit as angry and disgusting as it’s predecessor, but the band implements a few different experimental injections that merge the sounds of crust, post-hardcore, and sludge. Still screamy as fuck and downright devastating, though. More gorgeous art and packaging from Rodrigo, with a stunning screened b-side. Right now two tracks are available but as of April 8th, 2022 all 10 jams will be in hand to punch you in the face.

12”LP /300 on clear vinyl with screened b-side. Includes insert. 10 songs.

Here’s an Anna Sage review you can access by clicking on these words, a “Sinner Ablaze” music video, and a reminder that the self-titled album releases in full this Friday April 15th, 2022!

ANNA SAGE - Anna Sage (cassette/12")

from CA$10.00

ANNA SAGE ‘Anna Sage‘ cassette/12"LP (ZBR279)

For fans of: WristMeetRazor, Crossed, and Converge

France’s ANNA SAGE have released a few EPs in the past, the first in 2014 and previous in 2018, so naturally after four more years they have another release but hooooooly moly is it massive (and an LP instead of an EP). 11 absolutely devastating tracks of metallic hardcore/screamo in the vein of Converge and old WristMeetRazor. When we first heard this release we were floored, and not only helped with the 12” but also asked if we could head up the tapes, of which there are 50 and we have 40 of those (the other 10 are with the band). 12”s should arrive in April (along with the full digital release) but we already have the tapes and we’ll ship those out late March :)

12”LP /300 on black vinyl with gatefold jacket.
Cassette /55, 33 on red swirl, 10 on clear/gold swirl, 5 mystery swirls, 2 red/gold swirl, and 5 test dips w/matching swirl case.
11 songs.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: YAROSTAN = The brand-new Yarostan album fucking slaps. Amazing French screamo ala Daitro but much more expansive and experimental. Their previous endeavor was the Cinq 5-Way split which we are running low on!
