July 02, 2025 by David Norman

Zampler 25 is out and boasts 35 incredible tracks including seven previously tracks by Twins, Letterbombs, Mt. Ida, Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, A Recorded Dawn, Serrate, and Lucidity.

Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow has a new music video for their new song on the Zampler titled “Lisa’s Hitz4Hits Extravaganza”.

Victoria three-piece needed a second press of tapes (as did we) so those are out in the world and definitely won’t hang around long! New art color for the tapes, too. The bandcamp copies are gone but the links to our stores are on that page, and we got a few copies left there.

Hayley is the bassist for Emma Goldman, and CanaDave recently chatted with her on the OMSB Podcast which is embedded below.

Crossed Letters recently reviewed that stellar Reverie + Put Purana split 12” that we released on Tomb Tree. There aren’t many copies left so scope’n’grab if you haven’t already. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Jam/buy below.

Nuvolascura is next on July 8th and we’ll have both 12” variants and the cds going up alongside the digital album. Five years coming, time to rejoice! Brooklyn Vegan listed ‘How This All Ends’ in their most antipcated releases list which you can check out by clicking on this text or the pic above.

In the most recent Operation X-Ray show Andre played NaufrAAge which will be coming out on Tomb Tree, and was originally slated for release last month but has been pushed to September. Check it out!

I just came across this good Othiel interview and left a comment for the Weezer lover. I think we’re officially out of cds!

2025 - 06 - 27 /// Mourn Recif is out, Coup D'etat 2nd run next!

June 27, 2025 by David Norman

Hey y’all the Mourn Recif cassette EP release went down two days back, so if you missed please check out those first three songs by the band that CanaDave is in. Release show with Emma Goldman, Androgyne, and Internal Dialogue on Saturday July 5th at Oaklands Community Centre.

Coup D’etat has another pressing of cassettes, this being the 3rd overall and 2nd from Tomb Tree. Our first pressing sold out pretty quickly, and whatever we don’t sell the band will probably need cuz they move tons of merch at their shows. These go up on Monday July 30th and we’ve only got about 20 copies!

Trilly, my good friend that I met back when they played in Itto, was on the OMSB podcast as he is the vocalist for both Crowning and Greed Worm. Listen to the podcast above, jam the new Crowning split below, or click on this text to go to the full podcast post with additional links and info.

Emma Goldman is nearly sold out! Canada and Bandcamp has just 2 copies left, with the US having 18. They also got a nice review from Straight.com aaaaaaand they’re playing the Mourn Recif release show on July 5th in Victoria! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Snag a copy below.

Mau got the This Noise Is Ours treatment. We sold our 50 copies in about 24 hours so we’ll hopefully get some more in the near future, but until then if you want one please snag one from the band! Click on the pic above or this text to go to the full review.

Shibuya got some love from Eklektik Rock…I’m not even sure if we have any of these left. Maybe 1. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review.

Sininen (ex-Via Fondo) is putting out their debut EP on Tomb Tree and the first single is up! Awesome, dreamy, Swedish screamo.

Jon (bass/back-up vocals) from Blue Youth joined CanaDave on the OMSB podcast to talk about the band’s history and new 12”LP ‘Defeatist’. Click on this text to go the post, listen to it above, and/or jam the new album below.

Die Princess Die is releasing their discography via cassette on Zegema Beach Records in one week! Brand new art from Boris Hager! All 22 recorded tracks! CanaDave has been obsessed for literally two decades so this is a treat and then some. It’s like Slint meets Indian Summer meets chaos and it’s on a level all its own. Check out ‘Discography’ on Friday December 20th at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST on just 52 tapes!!!

Coup D’etat has released their debut album ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…?’ on Tomb Tree and Yetzer Hara Records! This local Vancouver Island trio has been all up in CanaDave’s life in all the best ways, as their release show is tonight and Mourn Recif is also playing. If you ordered stuff from us and will be attending please get in touch so I can physically bring you your order (cuz Canada Post is on strike still). I’ll also have distro!!!

2024 - 12 - 10 /// Coup D'etat release + show on Friday

December 10, 2024 by David Norman

Is Canada Post still on strike? You betcha. Most Canadian store orders and some Bandcamp orders simply cannot go out until it ends. We apologize for any inconvenience but it’s out of our hands. The one thing we can do is ship via FedEx but the costs are much higher, so if you need something by a certain date and don’t mind paying extra just hit up CanaDave at zegemabeachrecords@gmail.com and he’ll let you know the new shipping quote.

Febuary cds came again. And then they went. Sold out in about an hour. We’ll make more, as well as tapes, and be sure that they’ll be ready for early May. Cuz…nevermind ;)

On Friday Coup D’etat releases their debut album ‘What Happens After the Epilogue…’ on Tomb Tree, and they’ve also got a release show with CanaDave’s Mourn Recif band, so we’ll have tapes and ZBR distro at the show! You can scope a new song from each band in the 157th Operation X-Ray radio show embedded below!
