Eyelet 2nd press out now

November 09, 2022 by David Norman

Eyelet’s ‘The Devil Shining Out Your Eyes’ pretty much sold out for us in a few weeks so we’ve been planning this alongside the band and other labels The Ghost Is Clear and Icorrupt Records for some time now. Opting for a full handmade set of nebulas /100 on top of 25 color-matching red-in-the-dark mages. All links on our bandcamp page linked here!

Thank You Driver’s new EP ‘Nothing You Do Can Stop This’ was featured on Idioteq.com so take a gander then get pulverized. Tapes way past half gone. Click on this text for the review. Listen below.

Next on the Best Of (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) Podcast was Jack Shirley of Comadre! (cries) here he discusses what ultimately led to the demise of the band and why you’ll likely never get a reunion.

Infall gets a good review from Metal Heads. Here’s a good quote, “An album that is a mess because it is complex.“ Click on the text for the full review.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: пустота = Unreal stuff from Bulgaria. Black metal with lots of screamo infusion!

2022 - 11 - 07 /// Thank You Driver out today!

November 07, 2022 by David Norman

Thank You Driver was premiered yesterday on Mathcore Index (full premiere/write-up/links are here) and then uploaded to our bandcamp earlier today. The Canada/International store only has the primary variant left but there are still some rarer copies in the U.S. store. If you are in BC or the upper west coast of the U.S. and wanna come chill with CanaDave at the Thank You Driver release show on the 19th get yourself here. Variants are pictured under the stream :)

CanaDave spoke at length with Hal Capone via his Chopping It Up Hardcore instagram interview. Twas tons of fun and lots of homies were given props.

With an upcoming secret early 2023 release of the band’s follow-up project, it was a good time for This Noise Is Ours to feature Smile To The Wind aka Улыбайся Ветру on the ZBR Roster Review. And what’s that? We only have one copy left!?!?!?! Holy fuck! Someone pick up this unheralded masterpiece asap before the loss pushes you into a longing spiral. Click on the text for the review and nab the last copy below!

Sold out

Улыбайся Ветру - Illusions (12")

CA$23.50

ZBR088 Release date: Mar. 21st, 2018
For fans of: Louise Cyphre, Loma Prieta and Carrion Spring

Flabbergastingly good, this new 11-song 12"LP by Russia's Улыбайся Ветру (aka Smile To The Wind) titled 'Illusions' is a testament to chaotic, mathy, dual screaming hardcore. Seriously this is easily a contender for album of the year and fans of any technical, blazing screamo such as Loma Prieta, Neil Perry, Crowning, Louise Cyphre and Carrion Spring will likely be so happy they may soil themselves. Yep, it's that good. And the art is unreal, created by Ekaterina Zalesskaya. Released by Zegema Beach, Dead Tank, Trace In A Maze and Upwind Productions.

'Illusions' 12" vinyl on blue/300 with insert. 11 songs. Download code included.

Out Past the Rings #132 for the first In Wolves’ Clothing self-titled demo cassette! Got any in stock? Hell no. What about their subsequent full length? Ahahahaha no. Well shit there’s that new Letterbombs split 12” got any of those? Yes! But if history plays itself out again these will be unavailable soon.

Next on the Best Of (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) Podcast was Sean Leary of hmmmmm let’s see…Loma Prieta, Beau Navire, Archeoptryx, Stormlight, Elle, and Jeromes Dream (and that’s not even all of them!). He speaks here about the formation of Loma Prieta, very interesting and very important for the screamo world, although no one knew it at the time.

Operation X-Ray played a list of bangers last Friday including Lower Automation, Thank You Driver, Infall, and To Be Gentle!

Infall continues to get serious press prior to the release of their 12-song cassette full length on November 14th via Tomb Tree. Here’s more love from Metal Epidemic.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: PIQUE = There’s a new Pique 12” from Larry and Illuminate My Heart and it’s really fucking good!
