RSR PC 095 City of Iron
The Redscroll Podcast
City of Iron is a band based out of (practices in) Meriden, CT. We were joined by 5 out of 6 of the members (Tyler got stuck at work). We talk about music. We talk about video games. There's a decent amount of laughing. Check it out! Honestly, this one is just a fun romp with a fun crew. Anything I say about it would just ruin it while you listen in. Just give it a listen. Oh, and there's a snippet of new unreleased as yet music!

RSR PC 091 Gun to God's Head - Del, Kane & Brandon
The Redscroll Podcast
Gun to God's Head is a fairly new local metalcore band. Members who joined us on the podcast this month are Del (frontwoman/vocalist), Kane (also notably a member of current very active band Vomit Forth), and Brandon (who plays in so many bands he can't name them off the top of his head, ha! We might've put him on the spot in this episode). Kane, Del & Brandon This episode could very much serve as a primer to metalcore (and shoegaze and some other off-shoot inspirations) through the filter of 3 members of Gun to God's Head. I felt that so much that I announced during the show that I would...

Shari & Eric joined us on the podcast this month. They are 2/3 of the owners (Pete had to run the bar at the time of recording) of The Cellar on Treadwell - a venue in Hamden, CT that has a bit of history (with a few different names in the past). We open, as usual, with what we're listening to and move on to how The Cellar on Treadwell became a thing and the struggles of opening just before a pandemic hit and now striving with a fairly full schedule full of local and touring acts.

The Redscroll Podcast
Jay Holmes and Kyle Holmes are brothers and 2 out of 3 of the owner/operators of Ritual Pizza Co. in Cheshire, CT (operating out of the Counter Weight Brewing space). Ken (the other owner/operator) couldn't make it for fatherly reasons. We talk about what we're listening to. We talk about how deeply ingrained the music they listen to is to their business and how it informs what they do from the visual design aspects to just how they vibe while cooking and how they want to incorporate what they do into events at the brewery and beyond that. We talk about the beginnings of the operation...

RSR PC 087 Neu Body - Jentlemen and Townwide Tyler
The Redscroll Podcast
Tyler and Jen of the Neu Body collective who put on the frequent Heatsync parties and have now released a 12" EP including 4 tracks from as many members of the crew.

Jen's musical trajectory is discussed and her painful dismissal from a college indie/punk band and how that possibly directed her towards DJing and electronic music and its production. Conversation moves on from there. We get into all things Neu Body and about talk...

info_outlineNick & Tim helm a relatively new project called Disfigure. So far, they have just one tape release though they are working on more. Nick worked on many of the songs in relative isolation while living in New Hampshire and then recorded them with Tim once back in CT.
We start as usual talking about what we're listening to. We recorded in October which lent itself to some opening talk about horror movies and bake off. We quickly veer into how the band started and what inspired it to happen; how they were inspired by Godflesh, d-beat and black metal to create their sound.
Conversation continues down that path and veers off until we finally trail off talking about the first Redscroll release after becoming a store, Hostage Calm's Lens - a record Tim is on and a band Nick later joined and also a band that bares little other connection to this current project sound-wise other than the people who made it. Anyway! Battle metal madness!

The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (first of the month going forward) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT USA. We are a record store that has a heavy emphasis on the left of center / underground music of the world. Whether it be underappreciated or just has a niche audience, marginalized or just off the radar it’s all of interest to us. With the show we’ll generally have a localized focus. We’ll discuss upcoming releases and what is in our personal rotation at the moment. We’ll talk about upcoming area musical activities. We’ll talk to guests who have to do with all of the above. And we’ll talk about specific dealings with the store. If you have input you’re welcome to contact us through email (redscroll@gmail.com).
