2024 - 04 - 05 /// Gxllium! promo pics

First and foremost, it’s Bandcamp Friday. Please consider supporting us so we can keep making records <3

.22LR released their self-titled debut earlier this week and it fucking rocks. Fans of Frail Body, Gil Cerrone, Youth Funeral, and Othiel should give this a whirl…I think you’ll dig it hard. Tapes linked to our stores directly through the Tomb Tree Bandcamp below :)

Terry Green premiered their new jam “Full Lip” from the upcoming ‘Provisional Living’ 12”LP. First album in a fucking decade and yes, it’s worth the wait. Even better than their debut!

Gxllium! promo pics have surfaced with the debut album releasing on ZBR this Monday April 8th at 9am EST / 11am CST / 12pm EST!!! Some very sick variants, not many made, as we’ll only have 70. Is that metal on the green tape, David? Why, yes. Yes it is. Bad-fucking-ass. CanaDave spoke with them a few weeks back which you can listen to below.

Hawak released some of the best screamo ever then called it a day. CanaDave finally got off his ass and did another Out Past the Rings, this time for ‘Nuoc’, arguably one of the best things we’ve ever released. Co-released with Left Hand Label, not Dog Knights. I got one copy in this store and one on Bandcamp!!!

Lower Automation was featured on Brooklyn Vegan’s “New Song Roundup”. The tapes arrived for this new EP yesterday so I’m already dipping away. Full release May 20th! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the article.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: KOMAROV = New live video from our UK besties!

2023 - 12 - 20 /// Lower Automation video + Gifts From Enola reveal #3+4

A couple of things. First and foremost there’s the upcoming Wave 2 + the regular-priced two-day tickets for ZBR Fest 2024 this Friday the 22nd at (most likely) 12am CST / 1am EST. Access the site, schedule, and ticket links here.

One of the two Inosuke variants are apparently done. So we except the other to finish up by early January, therefore we should be in line to get them shipped out as stated by the end of January. Pre-order/listen by click on this text.

Carrion Spring tapes shipped this week to Tomb Tree so those will be available early January after our two-week breather. Jam the EP here.

Lower Automation did some live jams on the Chicago Music Exchange! Definitely check it out and snag their most recent ‘Strobe Light Shadow Play’ 12” below!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: RATBOYS = I just found out about this Chicago indie rock band and this new album rules. Think a more accessible Wednesday crossed with Frankie Cosmos.
