SOMETHING TO REMEMBER

"The Day"
exclusive song premiere

For fans of: Orchid, Francis Brady, Lachance, and Towers

orders open October 31st, 2026 via Tomb Tree

     In early 2026 one of the bands I played in (Mourn Recif) had a show and SOMETHING TO REMEMBER played. It was their second show and I was immediately blown away and definitely floated a Mourn/Something To Remember split idea. Today I'm stoked to present their first single "The Day" from the Vancouver emo-violence/metallic hardcore four-piece. Sounding akin to early 2000s German screamo, their epic, driving, dark, even dancey first set of songs are as passionate as they are wicked. I've chosen a short, punchy jam as the single, although I must say the album opener "Evening Redness In The West" is my favourite track. Listen to "The Day" below...it'll only take 42 seconds!!!

*** PODCAST #201 Coup D'état ***

    Prior to the ridiculous shipping situation that happened with this EP (they arrived like three months late due to Global Post being a trash company) I did this podcast with Frejya and Elle of Victoria's COUP D'ÉTAT. This is actually the second Coup podcast we've done, and the first one referenced in this podcast is linked here. Check out this newbie to find out about the band member shifts, EP talk and much more - including: Toronto BC, The Fall Of Troy debate, debut LP release show, talks with violinists, Elle joins the band, the writing process, the importance of Rain, burning out and staying motivated, news songs, the Your Arms Are My Cocoon effect, ZBR Fest 2026, hitting your stride, Cody the Magic Man, feeding goats, spirit hands, the correct set length, Lily as a funk/jazz fusion machine, too transgendered to tour the US, etc. Bands played in this podcast: Lorrrel, My Sword! My Sword!, and Told Not To Worry. Listen to podcast #201 which is available to stream and/or download for free via this link.

TAKING TIGER MOUNTAIN

"1"
exclusive song premiere

For fans of: Shesmadefromsuede, Orchid, Mondrary and Grimlitter

orders open October 23rd, 2026

     Almost a year or so ago my friend Kyle from Drive Your Plow Over The Bones Of The Dead messaged me saying they'd seen a new band's first show that night, it was amazing, and that I should probably get them on my radar. Thank you Kyle!!! Nearly a year later we are on the precipice of releasing the Vancouver four-piece's debut five-song self-titled EP and I'm here to give you the band's first official single and a live video of said single! Cassettes and tapes release on Zegema Beach Records on October 23rd, 2026. They've got a show in Victoria on October 17th and should hopefully at least have their tapes to sling a week early, so pull up...unless you have firefighter training in Otter Valley then you might need to miss the show :(

     Coming in at 1:11, this song wastes no time getting into it with a plethora of time signature changes and stop/starts in the first 10 seconds before dual vocals kick in. By the 30-second mark the song has done a ton of legwork, and takes a half-second breather before going full tilt once again before settling briefly into a breakdown that Senza would be proud of and a final whirlwind conclusion. So much in just over a minute...goddamn!!!
