What’s next on ZBR? Well shit, I’m glad you asked. We’ve got tapes on Tuesday July 22nd for ‘Ritma’ by Piri Reis prior to their New Friends Fest performance, followed by Shoganai cassettes for their debut self-titled EP on July 29th. July 30th we’ll be premiering the ZBR Fest 2025 video on Youtube so make sure you attend the first showing if you’re as keen as I am!

Nuvolascura cds are sold out and the “Linear half’n’half” is also out of stock. “Figment swirl” is all that remains. Rockambula gave it a stellar review which you can read by clicking on the pic above or this text. Snag those last few copies now!

Trei Campbell from Iwrotehaikusaboutcannibalisminyouryearbook, Beau Navire, Elle, Vowels, and Xochtil came on the OMSB podcast for his first solo interview, and I couldn’t be more honored. Pick up their remastered vinyl via Dog Knights and catch the band on tour and at New Friends Fest 2025!

Avery Friedman released a live studio session for the song “New Thing” and you should definitely check it out. We’ve been talking to the plant about the 12” run, and they are behind as they’re waiting on the lacquer. We’ll keep you posted but hopefully they’ll be in-hand early August. Fingers crossed!

Emma Core & Co. gave a ripping review of Emma Goldman’s ‘all you are is we’. If we aren’t 100% sold out you need to run to the US store and snag one immediately. Click on the pic above or this text to go to the review. Buy/stream below!

Dead Hour Noise are on tour! We’ve got just a handful of 12”s left and post-tour I reckon the band’ll be gettin’ low too!

Operation X-Ray played some bangers as per usual, including our very own Nuvolascura as well as Bok Suna, the latter of which Softseed Music has advance copy tapes for sale now via the bandcamp link below.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: xMISERYISABUTTERFLYx = The ultimate homies in Smush showed me this band. Very good screamo!
