2024 - 10 - 23 /// Senza then Concealer

Alright y’all, Senza’s new 12”EP ‘Celestial Body’ is the next ZBR release and it all goes down on November 1st at 9am PST / 11am CST / 12pm EST. We did 500 copies alongside our long-time pals at Dog Knights Productions: 200 pink/blue/black merge, 150 pink, and 150 blue, all with etched b-side and 12-page lyric book. This thing looks incredible and we’ll have promo pics ready for next week, but for now here’s the cover art and a previously song from said five-track EP.

Orlando, Florida's Concealer released 'dissonance [all that keeps me away]' a few months back and it caught our attention immediately. Their take on metallic screamo was one that reminded us of greats like Dispensing Of False Halos and even Hopesfall, so we lined up those four EP songs alongside two brand new jams and will be releasing 'Heartfelt Entries' November 8th, 2024. CanaDave managed to wrangle all five members to make this podcast, click on this text or the pic above to go to the full post, or just listen/download below!

2024 - 10 - 09 /// Smush is in + Crowning to Japan!

Smush has arrived! Holy moly was that outside of the plant’s guaranteed time. Inserts are printed and the records look/sound great. Softseed Music made 150 of’em and they’re already more than half gone. U.S. store gets their copies when U.S. Dave returns from his Japanese tour with Crowning/Oaktails, and should all be shipped by the end of October. I’d probably keep an eye on their bandcamp btw!

---

Crowning cds are in stock in both stores + bandcamp. They are literally flying to Japan right now to join Oaktails for the tour. As stated, keep an eye on those bandcamps!
