Clay Birds out, Mau next

May 13, 2025 by David Norman

Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’ is tearing shit up, as well as already nearly selling out of the 1st of two variants, Anthony Fantano did a review video on The Needle Drop which is fucking huge to have someone that big pick up on an underground screamo record. Watch above, listen/buy below!

Clay Birds released last week and like 95% of copies are sold out. I think there are 5 copies left in the U.S. store but everything else is gonezo. Absolutely amazing release, wicked people, and sick as fuck live.

Máu 10”s for ‘Anthesis’ will release this Thursday! I snapped a few promo pics of this as the b-side is etched and the entire package just looks hella cool. And the music…my god the music! Incredible stuff from these Cali homies. We’ll have 50 copies of the 300, with the rest being with the band. 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST.

Nuvolascura’s ‘As We Suffer From Memory and Imagination’ was the most recent topic of Out Past the Rings #193. Not only that, but with a new album on the way in late July the band got an extra bump from Brooklyn Vegan with their lead single “and in the end, you threw it all away”. Click on the pic above or this text to go there. Watch the OPTR below.

Joyzine reviewed the Avery Friedman album which you can check out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Release show is this Thursday! Buy the 12”s below.

Sutras got some love from Destroy//Exist which you can check out by clicking on this text or the pic above. Listen/buy below!

Coup D’etat, Emma Goldman, Shibuya, and Llewelyn got a shout-out and play from the always reliable Operation X-Ray.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: TELOS = Listen and weep cuz it’s so good but the band is so dead :( We got tapes of the LP left, snag’em now (by clicking on this text) or forever hold your peace.

2025 - 04 - 21 /// Sinema 12"s tomorrow!!!

April 21, 2025 by David Norman

Sinema is tomorrow. TOMORROW! These won’t last so this is your second-to-last reminder to get in the stores before 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST tomorrow April 22nd. ‘After the Flatline’ is /250 all on black 12”s. They also play ZBR Fest and I’m fucking so goddamned excited. Look at that new stage setup!!! (thanks Josh!)

Lastima is releasing on 12” on May 16th via Tomb Tree, and the band has recently released their first single “Al Cerro Ancón”. Tape/cd orders from Liminal Dread Productions open single vinyl releases with album. Wicked post-everything that dabbles in the waters of Respire’s early material with more flute and viola and less trumpet.

Operation X-Ray played heaps of bangers including Blue Youth’s “Defeatist” and Sinema’s “Stutter”. Glad your kid is doing better Andre <3

The amount of incredible press that Avery Friedman’s ‘New Thing’ has received is both prodigious and deserved. Her debut album is up for pre-order on Softseed Music as well as tape from Audio Anti-Hero. Expect a podcast with CanaDave next! Click on the pic above or this text for the full interview with The Line Of Best Fit.

Destroy//Exist did a little write-up for Blue Youth’s only single that can pretty much be applied to the rest of the album. Check it out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy the ‘Defeatist’ 12”LP below!

Idioteq.com interview/track-by-track with duo Sutras following their ‘The Crisis of Existence’ release on Tomb Tree. Check it out by clicking on the pic above or this text. Jam/buy below, and remember it’s a low run of just 35 tapes!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: YA BUNAYYA = I only just heard ‘Beyond the Numeric Time’ by this incredible band. Can’t wait to see what they release next.

2022 - 11 - 17 /// Piri Reispress on Friday!!!

November 17, 2022 by David Norman

Piri Reis repress tomorrow! The first press of ‘Ritma’ sold out in a day and we had 50 copies. Same deal this time but on a new/sick splatter variant. Plus a nice little distro update that includes Daighila’s new 12”LP, Blue Skies Fade tapes, and the new Pique 12”LP.

Me And Him Call It Us were on the (((((OPENmind/SATURATEDbrain))))) podcast and Aaron gave Zegema Beach Records some love. This also acted as a soft Lower Automation premiere for their new song “End Scene”, the closer from the Nov 22nd ‘Strobe Light Shadow Play’ 12”LP. Click on this text or the picture below to listen!

Oooo baby Paramind Recordings posted the full Virgin Mother set! 12”s still available through Tomb Tree!

Speaking of full sets, here’s Orphaned’s full set from earlier this month at Saint Vitus. Tomb Tree released four massive songs on the band’s debut cassette, a few copies still remain.

Infall was reviewed on Grind On The Road and got an awesome grade! Way to go fellas! This full length is getting A LOT of attention so nab a tape while you still can! Click on this text to go to the review.

Here’s a мятеж/Samarra review in the ongoing This Noise Is Ours series for the Zegema Beach Records Roster Review. We actually still have tapes of this! Why? I have no idea Samarra was sick as fuck and this is the only place you can actually hear the worst мятеж song ever. Click on this text to read the review and nab a tape through the embedded Bandcamp link below.

Massa Nera’s new single/music video “Adrift” was featured on Destroy//Exist. Check it out by clicking on this text!

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: DAIGHILA = Malaysia’s longest running screamo band came back this year with a momentous 12”LP that we now have in stock. Jam 3 of the songs on their bandcamp and get a full download if you snag the 12”.
