Zao is digging deep into their history with a compilation of rarities, b-sides, and unreleased material titled Preface: Early Recordings 1995-1996. The band is now streaming an alternate version of their song "Repressed." Pre-orders for Preface: Early Recordings 1995-1996 are available here.
"14 recordings documenting the earliest days of the band," Zao explained. "Opening with a set of previously unreleased demos fronted by founding vocalist Eric Reeder along with 2 tracks that appeared on The Tie That Binds 7”/Split CD. The second set features 7 tracks fronted by vocalist Shawn Jonas. Including a previously unreleased alternate recording of All Else Failed standout Exchange and the Treadwater 7” version of song Repressed. The CD format contains two bonus tracks from early Zao side project Monroe. Initially meant for a 7” back in 1996 that never came to fruition and are being shared for the first time ever as a part of this collection."
