RSR PC 062 Favorites of 2022

Here it is - the end of the year favorites podcast including lists by each staff member here at Redscroll! The podcast has a clip from each album.  It's a fun listen! Whoops... mostly music! [Lists are alphabetical - no particular order otherwise. Some of Josh's and Rick's lists got tacked on at the end with fun text to voice notes.]

First off,  these are things we loved enough to release and Josh and I (Rick) didn't include in our own favorites list because it is basically a given.

John Zaccaria writes music as The Knife Kickers. Friends fill out the band; it is a rotating cast with John at the center. Ryan Prushinski helped with the latest record that is set to come out in early 2024. Ryan played drums on just over half the songs (he also drums in Doom Beach who've been on the pod before; click here for that) and produced/engineered the recording of the album. 

We talk to John and Ryan about the new record, playing music in general and how the local indie rock scene gave way to his musical journey. We have the privilege of playing a few songs from the new album (one in full at the end of the interview and a couple partial songs in the mix of the interview).

Justin aka Studebaker Hawk joins us this month on the podcast. Justin is a record dealer who also runs / promotes some record fairs and is also a DJ who also runs a label with the team at Peace & Rhythm and also has a 45/7" subscription service called The Drop. (Links to all that stuff below.)

Justin does all this stuff while keeping up an active traveling itinerary and splitting his time between Springfield and Mexico.

Undergrounds Record Cafe opened under a year ago (about 8 months) in Oakville, CT.  https://undergroundsrecordcafe.com/
We are joined this month by Nick & Dean - the owners of this new hybrid café and record shop. Dean has been shopping with us basically since we opened and his son Nick used to tag along and get lost in the racks (or go over to the sports memorabilia shop and come back to wrangle dad). Time keeps on moving! We start off in the same way we usually do - talking about what we're listening to. We then move the conversation to different aspects of the restaurant and Nick's culinary background. We talk to Dean about what they carry and how they've been reaching more and more folks as word gets out. 

Nick and Dean of Undergrounds Record Cafe

Dean will also be at our record fair next Sunday with a table full of records (and maybe some bread or some sort of sampling from the café?! Something's in the works. ).   Conversation pushes towards what the future holds for the restaurant and possible events and possible dinner services (special occasions).

Anonymity reigns within the dark realm of black metal. We interviewed an entity known to us here as Ajna. Ajna healms Forest Thrall and plays in Vengeance Sorcery, Cerberus, Sravana, Cemetery Lights and likely more currently active and some that are at this time conceptual acts. 

We talk about the Vengeance Sorcery experience of playing Nuclear War Now Fest in Tijuana, Mexico. Ajna goes into depth on the musical paths taken in listening and in playing and gives a short anecdote about how a member of Dokken presented as a sort of missed connection on a tow truck route. We talk about nature and the scourge of the litterer! We veer off on 108 mystic and odd directions and of course we talk about the music we're listening to!

This month we had a chat with Matt Westfall, owner of Counter Weight Brewing Co. We've known Matt for years through music (going to punk shows in our youth) and Counter Weight has been a venue for music here and there since it opened (originally in Hamden and now in Cheshire). It's also where we hold an annual record fair (coming up in October again).  We talk about how Counter Weight is ramping up their events schedule with music and comedy and various other events. We also do talk about beer. It's true. We talk about the Counter Weight accolades and how they like to take input from anyone under their roof and getting involved is highly encouraged - generally trying to teach from within and grow.  

We don't talk about sprint car racing or animating Bob's Burgers (things done by other people with the name Matt Westfall).  We do talk about the role bocce has played in his life and the art and naming of beers. Conversation stretches out from there. 

There is a show we'll be selling records at coming up on July 6th, 2023:
Doors at 7:30PM / Music at 8:00PM
$10 (Shaki Presents)
Ratas En Zelo
Fafa

This month on the podcast we're joined by Senti & Vaughn of Ephyra - a collective of 7 folks releasing metalcore that sounds 20 years displaced! Really wild to take a listen for the first time and think this is not from that original era this takes heavy influence from.  We talk about all the bands currently on the label and all the members of the bands and who plays what in which. Tight group playing in quite a few formations. We talk about everything we're listening to as usual and conversation ensues as usual! 

We talk about label demands and how Ephyra caught on much more than they ever expected faster than could be. CD and tape production specifics are talked about; nice little tips and tricks if you're starting anything up (one of which being - have someone who's good at accounting). Prayer for Cleansing, Undying, Incubus, Limp Bizkit, a laundry list of bands mentioned... Love Lost But Not Forgotten, deadeyesunder, A Thousand Falling Skies... Jay from Papercut may have been in the room too.
