мятеж , or mretx, or myatezh, or Rebellion, or Insurgency, is one of the most unique band processes I’ve ever seen or been a part of. David asked me to write about the band since I’m not on anything released yet and have more of an outsider’s perspective of it all. In a way I saw the formation of the “band” happen. I remember when Chris showed up on some screamo facebook groups and everyone freaked out that he was in Yaphet Kotto. I remember seeing David first start posting his blog around. It didn’t take too long for them to connect, and David started doing vocals for a recording project that Chris had started. I was sent a few early ones and was extremely surprised with the songs, as they had pretty much everything I love: great melodies, blast beats, spacey parts, harsh distorted screams, all in mostly short, compact bursts. In 2015 they got asked to play Warp Zone Fest in Peoria, IL, so they planned to do a tour around it with People’s Temple Project, who they were about to do a split with. David asked me to play bass and help book some shows. We asked a few different drummers to play with us, but none could so Eric from PTP played with us. We all met in Long, Island, David drove, Chris flew, and I took a bus from Nashville with a bass combo stuffed in a suitcase. We practiced 3 times and then went on a 10 day tour. Each day of tour we just considered another practice. Sometimes we played better than we thought we could. Other times the songs just turned into chaos, but never really fell apart either. We met many people that we had only talked to online, completing this weird process of people only knowing each other on the internet do to a mutual love of music coming together in reality from different places, which is basically the whole foundation of this band. We did another short run in August 2016 around Swamp Fest, and now they are on their way to tour Europe around Cry Me A River. Unfortunately this go around I couldn’t afford to go, so I’m just at home writing and in control of the blog while they’re gone.

Musically, мятеж covers a bit of ground, yet each song still sounds like it's from the same bands. Chris mentioned in his interview with David a while ago that he was experimenting with mixing Crossed Out with Explosions In The Sky, which I find to be a pretty perfect description of the band in general. Some songs are pure rippers, others devolve into almost ambient parts, and there's also some beautiful slow jams.

Hi there. As I wind down my Canada days I realized I need to step back for a few months. In June I will on tour with мятеж and will be gone for about 3 weeks. In July I will be getting ready to move to New Zealand and leave July 31st. In August I will be finding a home in Dunedin. Therefore, for June July and August I will be doing 4-5 band posts per month and my amazing friend Jesse Mowery will be handling the other 5-6.

Because of the move to New Zealand, Zegema Beach Records released Zampler #9 already which you can listen and download here. In August of 2017 we will release Zampler #10 which will be a "best of" from the first 80 releases that we did while residing in Canada.

In terms of new releases Zegema Beach has orders up for both the 2x12" 8-band/4-country split (linked here) and the Jeromes Dream tribute tape comp (linked here).

And lastly, here's the tracklisting for OMSB mix#5 that was reviewed in May.

1) YURODIVY -"Aphos"

2) FABLE -"Foreshadowing the Reincarnate"

3)

4) MINERVA SUPERDUTY -"First as Tragedy"

5)

6) BELLADONE - "Organes Mâchés"

7) EUTH -"Blind Rotters"

8) ANODES -"Enkindle"

9) MIRA -"Abyssal"

10) HUNDREDS OF AU -"Post Truth Days"

Much love,

Dave / OMSB / ZBR

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
This is Jesse, I'm taking control of the blog for the month. As you can see, 2 tracks are missing, and I don't know what they are, and David is flying overseas right now, so I'll edit this later.

As always, on or around the 1st of every month, I will be posting a ZIP file with songs for the upcoming month with ALL specifics deleted from the tags, so unless you already know the band, there is NO information regarding each track.

During the following month, I will post reviews for those bands and link the tracks to the review so you can associate the two together. This way you can listen to a new song/band and have little-to-no bias. Below, I have re-posted the June mp3 mix that is used for this month's reviews.

Any bands/labels that are interested in having their stuff reviewed, please email zegemabeachrecords@gmail.com: with "Open Mind Saturated Brain" as the subject. Please keep in mind that I don't review everything, just what jives with the blog. I will, however, listen to everything you send me. I would recommend emailing with an idea for a song/album premiere 2 months prior to that song/album release date for a much stronger chance at being reviewed on this blog. Bands that have already had their discography reviewed can also submit new albums for review if they include song/album premieres.

***ZEGEMA BEACH RECORDS Fest Pre-Show review***

ZEGEMA BEACH RECORDS Fest

Pre-Show / Thursday June 1st, 2017

WORST DAYS / TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN / HIERA / NANETTE / AN ANT AND AN ATOM

On June 1st, 2017 I put on the pre-fest show for my Zegema Beach Records goodbye party in Toronto, Ontario at D-Beatstro. This date was added to the initial June 2nd and June 3rd shows because I was contacted by numerous bands asking to play, but the latter two dates were already full. And that is how this show was born. Truth be told, the bands were amazing bands but the turnout was poor, possibly due to bigger bands playing on Friday and Saturday, but more than likely because Daughters were also playing Toronto that night.

It was very special and intimate and I know everyone that made it out enjoyed the bands. Thank you so much to those that came out, bought presale tickets, D-Beatstro/Sam and the five bands that played. Linked below is a short reel of each of the bands performing and will give you a good idea if you should invest further time checking them out. I've also linked each band's additional videos, Bandcamp, Facebook and merch in the ZBR distro. You can also grab the pre-show poster here (limited to 30) or the entire fest 3-in-1 35"x18" poster here (limited to 14).

AN ANT AND AN ATOM

AN ANT AND AN ATOM is the solo project from my friend Sean. We met through Ebay while he was in South Korea a few months before I moved there in mid-2008, all thanks to that Red Sparowes/Gregor Samsa split cd. Enough history, he plays ambient noise and sent the room into deep contemplation for about 20 minutes. He's been doing this music for almost a decade or more and has become very proficient at it. I really enjoyed this set as an opener because it set a mood for the show I had not yet experienced. He was on tour with his mom which is fucking rad, and so is she!

NANETTE

As per my request, my local friends in NANETTE closed with a cover of "This Isn't The Tenka-Ichi-Budokai" by I Hate Myself cover that I was able to scream/whine along to and it felt delightful. Their other four or five songs were an interesting mixture of screamo and an 80s/shoegaze sound. The three-piece recently released an EP here that I premiered a song from (linked here). I am very intrigued to see where they go next. I found out after the set that the two songs I didn't record were new songs and the best of the night. Damn my infernal choosing of songs to film!

TERRIBLE AS THE DAWN

This duo came all the way from Ann Arbor, Michigan for this show, and holy smokes they certainly didn't disappoint. They played new stuff, they played old stuff and they sure as hell
blew everyone away with "Stains", which I've linked below. That song in particular sounds like an awesome mixture of shrieky post-hardcore with tinges of emo-violence. The dual vocals compliment each other perfectly and the jammy sections were nice to groove along to. But the opening and ending, dear lord, that shit is unreal. Caroline and Stephen were extremely nice and it also wanted to note that the videos are pretty cool as Stephen's face looks as if he's screaming/talking to my grandfather's face on the Zegema Beach Records sign

WORST DAYS

These Providence, Rhode Island fellas stayed at my place and we seemed to get along swimmingly. Chris (drums) was all over the cats, Josh (bass) and I traded a ton of distro stuff, Matt (vocals) and I discussed a ton of screamo and Alan (guitar)...well, that guy was fucking tired from a ton of driving so I called him Sleep. They played a killer set a hair over 20 minutes and pulverized the crowd with a violent take on hardcore. I tried a little too hard to find a genre for them, as I generally don't listen to straight up hardcore, so I guess there might be some hints of metal, thrash and perhaps even screamo but this is hardcore, plain and simple. They played all of their new EP material aka 'Separation Anxiety' plus some and also managed to smash a floor light, which wasn't so good as Matt was running around barefoot. I filmed the full set in one, 20-minute go and it is fucking intense. Check it out, as well as Alan's awesome guitar stance, Matt's incredible vocal range, Alan's spot-on drumming and Josh's slightly audible but awesome nonetheless bass playing.

HIERA

Garnering perhaps the most attention during their set, HIERA ripped through about five songs in 17 minutes before having to cut their last song short due to time constraints. Their very unique spin on screamo/hardcore is kind of like Queens Of The Stone Age's take on rock music: it's repetitive, grooving and almost robotic-like. This is a big compliment because I love how it all comes across, and it should also be noted that all this awesome, catchy, distorted noise is made by only two brothers. Definitely catch them live (with cowbell) and pick up their tape.
