The Återstod / Meißel split cassette releases on Monday on a mere 75 tapes, only 40 of which because CanaDave doesn’t understand math. This is gonna sell out pretty quickly I reckon. Amazing stuff from Sweden (Återstod is Henning from Suis La Lune) and Germany. Jam a song from each band below on the new Zampler. Variants pictured above.

Braininavat is the next Tomb Tree release on February 7th, but you can jam the wicked first single premiere from their debut/self-titled EP! Simultaneously chaotic and groovy, the band features members of CityCop, Lowmeninyellowcoats, Griphook, etc. and is for fans of Bravo Fucking Bravo, Daniel Striped Tiger, and Llewelyn. Click on this text or the pic above for the full premiere post.

Operation X-Ray busted out their best Noise Rock & Post Punk episode and that sonuvagun featured our very own Lower Automation and their latest EP ‘Welcome to My Deathbed’ which we still have some cassette copies of!

This Noise Is Ours featured the new Keratin 7” ‘Death & Rebirth’ in their ZBR Roster Review series. These 50 copies are going pretty quickly (this store sold 80% of their copies in 48 hours) so if epic, noodly screamo is your game you better jump on that shit.

Johnny’s Reco-mmendations: THEOPHONOS = This new EP is a reworking of old material and it’s fucking amazing.
