The Ensa 12”s are live and all 15 songs have been uploaded to our bandcamp. These are in hand and ship immediately. Dark, writhing, evil neo-crust/emo-violence/screamo/grind from Japan for fans of Ekkaia, Carol, and Tetola93 will love this thing. /250 (but we only have 80).

Terry Green tapes are now live in this store! As the US box has been delayed (see below) the US store won’t have any going up for sale until USofDave is caught spooning with one. P.S. the Canada store (this one) has the only Terry Is Silver swirl /1 (pictured below)

The Cara Neir inserts and Terry Green tapes are basically sitting in the US with no rhyme or reason to it’s stoppage. Where’s my Cara Neir record? Technically being held up by USPS as these were expected arrive on August 2nd. A ticket has been made and hopefully it is resolved by the end of the week.

Here’s a killer Blind Girls full set from their Canada tour. Swirl tapes coming late next week before the break.

Edhochuli are, simply put, supernatural beings. There’s no one doing what they do and fucking lord science they’ve been doing for nearly 15 years. Here’s “Totally Caveman” and a bit of another song from the ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 Day 1 on June 11th. Next effing level.

The most recent Operation X-Ray is up and showcases a brand new Apostles Of Eris song alongside new City Of Caterpillar! Holy moly!!!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: TOBIAS VOKES = Somewhere between post-rock and emo aka for fans of Duct Hearts.

***With Terry Green playing the 2022 New Friends Fest and everyone being long sold out of 12”s, the band asked me to make some tapes. Voila! These beauts are very limited and go on sale this Tuesday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

***Well if Tuesday at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST is a thing we might as well run with and release our Ensa 12” ‘アラガウ + Demo‘ simultaneously this August 9th, 2022. Japanese screamo/emo-violence/hardcore/neo-crust with a heavy emphasis on “dark” and “pulverizing”. We got 80 copies of this 250 pressing.

***Boxes are still en route for Cara Neir inserts (US bound) and Piri/Euclid/Cara vinyl (Canada bound) so if your order hasn’t shipped…that’s why. The Cara Neir inserts were delayed by the US post so there’s nothing we can do there. CanaDave was on vacation until recently so we purposefully shipped the vinyl box to Canada to show up upon his arrival back home. If tracking is to be believed all the Canada orders should be out by August 11th except Euclid which arrives on the 15th.

Here’s the Cuck music video for “Worship The Uniform”. Tapes still available. OMSB Podcast with Lana coming this week!

The (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) blog posted a massive review of the Blind Girls show in Kitchener/Waterloo at The Button Factory on July 28th, 2022. The Australian band’s full set is posted along with a full set from Yearning and single-song videos from Sonagi, Botfly, and Basque. We made some beautiful swirl tapes for the tour and will posting ours on Saturday August 20th, our last day before a much needed 2-week breather. Then September happens and ya’ll gonna be flipping out. Click on this text to go to the review!

Local besties Crowning are up after another substantial break (cuz of life) the ZBR Fest Mid-West 2022 videos from the June 11th Day 1 are about halfway through and will coming every other day!

Last week’s Operation X-Ray is now live with jams from Cara Neir, Yearning, and Cuck!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: EDITH PIKE = This Denver band released this sick 4-song EP less than a week back. Great stuff!
