zBTFD Records is thrilled to announce our newest family members SUNDOWNER (Toronto, ON)!

Inspired as much by 90s post-hardcore institutions like Unwound and Drive Like Jehu as the noisy lacerations of The Jesus Lizard and Bleach era Nirvana, Sundowner’s relentless touring cycle has allowed its members to perfect the art of physicality. Energetic, heavy, melodic, and unpredictable, the members of Sundowner invite you to join in on their uniquely cathartic brand of fun. 

Sundowner's debut album Work Dream will be released in Spring 2025, keep an eye out for pre-order info coming soon!

We're beyond pumped about this partnership, welcome aboard, Sundowner!!

As we continue to launch into 2025, zBTFD is sooo proud to announce the addition of QUOTAS to our roster of bands.

QUOTAS are a breath of fresh post-rock air.  Their sound is saturated with epicness and crunchy earthy baselines, layered with thoughtful song-writing and soul destroying ride smashing. 

The line-up consists of members of some of Ontario's historical heavy hitters that have already left their fingerprints on Brantford and beyond.  Past members of the Sourkeys, Gaffer and Ruby Doom fuse together to generate unique sonic waves that please.​

Shows and recordings to be announced in the coming weeks.  Let's keep this jam packed month rolling.
