2025 - 01 - 25 /// 25% off, Reverie + Pùt Purana out, Athousandangelsandseven on Monday!

First things first, it’s CanaDave’s birthday today so being in a pretty positive place let’s do 25% off this Canadian store for the rest of the weekend! Not only that, but you’ll get a handwritten thank you note with a unique/weird/obtuse story about a time in Dave’s past. I can’t apply a discount to the bandcamp page but if you order something there you will also get the note and a free 7” record with vinyl orders OR a free tape with cassette orders. The discount code is “DIEALREADY”

Reverie + Pùt Purana just released their new split digitally on Tomb Tree with 12”s coming in February. We don’t have a date for that yet but stay tuned here and you’ll know a week ahead of time :) Awesome Italian screamo, equally driving and playful. Check out a video of Reverie’s full side above!


Athousandangelsandseven releases on Monday! The four-song self-titled cassette EP variants are above, with the full release going down at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. Only 50 tapes were made so expect this to sell out rather quickly!!! Jam their new music video for “Clipped Wings” below!



Spirit Of Versailles is in hand and almost sold out here! If you wanna snag the full discography 2x12” it’s linked below. The US store doesn’t have any cuz you should buy one from Init Records if you live there.

ZBR Spotify was recently updated so if that service is your bag please follow along! Thanks to Not Just A Phase for putting it all together.


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: MAGANA = I’m a big Magana fan so this new EP that dropped yesterday was instantly scooped by yours truly. Witchy rock/pop/folk stuff.

2023 - 08 - 14 /// ORBIT CINTA BENJAMIN + WIDOWDUSK + IHUNTMONSTERS

Not Just a Phase sold out. There’s a few left over in case some orders get lost, so if we still got’em in a few weeks we’ll add them to the next Big Stuff Thing.

Widowdusk + Ihuntmonsters split tapes just released and likely will sell out today! This is Tomb Tree #100 and quite a milestone for the label <3 If you didn’t notice, the two variants together read as Tomb Tree and to be completely honest this was a total coincidence that I exploited. Or maybe it was destiny. New art by Kyle Calvert Design!!!

Operation X-Ray gave a shout-out to ZBR again in their 2nd comeback episode, featuring Dear Diary This Is From My Teenage Angst To My Adult Self as well as Hillsboro who is releasing on CanaDave’s softer label Softseed Music in September.


Mathcore Index’s Mathcast gave some love to Seasons Worn who released their sophomore EP a few weeks back on Tomb Tree. Amazing metalcore with prog influences. Tapes still in stock!!!


Both Dave’s have been in love with Closet Witch for years (we even sport identical couple hoodies!) so it was a no brainer to ask the Iowa-based band to tear our ears apart. And they did. New album coming 2023 <3 We will continue posting the single videos for each band that played the last day of ZBR Fest 2023 in the order that they played, so there’s more coming! Actually, there are only two more!!!


Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: HEXIS = Our Denmark friends just released a split with fellow countrymen Telos (whom Tomb Tree works with) which you can snag from Init Records. Remember Hexis + Trauma Model is the next Canadian ZBR show on Vancounver Island in Victoria, tickets here!!!
