We’ll announce the winners by posting a video of us picking the winners out of a hat (may not actually be a hat) on our YouTube Channel. The ways in which you can enter are the following:

Share our event on Facebook
Retweet the sale announcement on Twitter
Reblog the sale flyer post on Tumblr

So, three ways to enter and possibly win. 3 T-Shirts & $60 in Gift Certificates in total. Get the word out and possibly get something for yourself in return! We’ll be picking the winners a week from today (Tuesday, the 23rd of October 2012).

This contest does apply to our online patrons as well. If you, an online customer, enters using one of the listed methods and you end up winning we’ll assign you $20 worth of credit (to use towards merchandise and/or shipping) and we’ll send a T-Shirt of your designated size (we’ll ask before sending) with your order.

Cookie Duster When Flying Was Easy
(SQE Music)
Brendan Canning formed this indie-rock band in Toronto in the late 90s: they released one album before entering a hiatus in 2001 due to his other band – Broken Social Scene – surging in popularity. On their sophomore album, which came into being from the band’s revival last year, they deliver an interesting mix of tunes in varying styles, many of which have a summery keyboard-driven feel. It’s difficult to pinpoint this album’s style using just a few words, but it certainly has a fun, smart and mature nature to it overall. My favorite track is easily the excitedly beaming “Standing Alongside Gone,” drenched in a deluge of synthesized sunset bliss. The sunniest rack and first single “Two Feet Sound Up” is excellent as well, with an obviously enthusiastic sound of youthful energy. Even a slowed-down song about a totally incompatible relationship (“Something Evil Again”) sounds gorgeous and lively amidst the celestial synth and guitars. “Space Will Follow” is another high point, using a variety of brightly galactic-sounding guitar techniques to make the experience especially trippy.

Family Band Grace & Lies
(No Quarter)
Visual artist Kim Krans and formerly heavy metal-specializing guitarist Jonny Ollsin are the Brooklyn couple who make up Family Band. With the help of bassist and lapsteel player Scott Hirsch, they create sad, thoughtful, folk-inspired music on their second album. It starts off with the fittingly titled “Night Song,” using heavily distorted beats, Ollsin’s gently twinkling guitar and Krans’ mournful voice singing about lies, secrets, and waiting for dawn. Her voice particularly shines on the beautifully woven ballad “Moonbeams,” with a repeated desire to hear someone’s “wondering sound.” The lullaby-esque title track personifies “Grace” as a woman and “Lies” as a man, both in a relationship and singing out each other’s names: the vocals sound both mellow and passionate. The eight-minute closer “Rest” sounds softly dream-like as well, particularly in the first instrumental half: it ends with some surprisingly busy, unique ambient sounds behind the steel guitar chords and Krans’ moody vocals.

Wednesday Weekly Video Volume 15

(If you’re seeing this on our home webpage [redscrollrecords.com] you’re going to want to press the “Read More” link on the bottom to view the videos.)

Large Professor (production on this track) keeps that MJ “Human Nature” beat at the center here and honestly any beat with that at the center (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_%28Michael_Jackson_song%29#Sampling ) has my positive at tention. NAS’s “Illmatic” is a top contender for best hip-hop album ever (I will not postulate any further than that, but it’s one that I never get sick of). This is the last song off that and it always leaves me wanting more (which at that point – and this is true – I usually go to 9th Wonder’s “God’s Stepson” and am satiated). (Rick)

We hope that someday ROBOTS AND EMPIRE get back together for at least one more show. This 4-piece post-hardcore outfit from Poughkeepsie, NY, used to play CT about once every six weeks for years, bringing out everyone’s inner groove-mosher. I would lose my mind when they played. Check out the other projects the members have going on now, Living Laser & Winterlong. Both bands will have new records out soon!

Com Truise captures that late 80’s future aesthetic (portrayed future from that time) in this short thriller. Put on your sunglasses because there is a lot of neon grafx going ’round this elektro traxxx.

Last month, hugely influential band, The Stooges announced that they were working on new material for the first time since 2007’s, “The Weirdness”. This week, we got restocked on a bunch of older Stooges titles. Check out this documentary short on one of the most important bands in rock history.

HTRK – “Bendin'” from Ghostly International on Vimeo.

HTRK and Tropic of Cancer have a split coming from Ghostly International soon. I’m looking very much forward to it. Can’t get enough of the slow melancholic reverberations. (Rick)

A friend of mine traded in a copy of American Nightmare’s “The Sun Isn’t Getting Any Brighter” 7″ yesterday and it made me think about all the times I saw them in the early 2000’s. Exploding out of the booming Boston straightedge scene, the y took aggressive hardcore to new heights, by fusing hard mosh parts with darker introspective lyrics. Deathwish Inc. will be releasing a documentary about the bands recent reunion shows. Check out the trailer.

Tomorrow night, the post-hardcore band Texas is the Reason will be performing for the first time since their 2006 reunion as the headliner of night 1 of Revelation Records 25th Anniversary Fest in New York City. TITR to me, is one of the most important “emo” bands of the 90’s. Check out what the band has to say about playing together again in this short documentary video.

We post these videos daily on Facebook.com/Redscroll. Please “Like” that page if you are on FB. If you aren’t on Facebook then these are here for you – posted weekly. Music is so extremely important and good.

Ormonde Machine

(Hometapes)
This indie-folk duo consists of Anna-Lynne Williams (best known as the singer-songwriter-guitarist for Trespassers William, as well as her solo project Lotte Kestner) and multi-instrumentalist Robert Gomez. They wrote this album while living together in a small adobe house in Texas, and the delicate, soft-spoken songs sound closely tied to that atmosphere. Elements such as an acoustic guitar, piano, organ and interestingly timed drum (almost like hip-hop at points) create an intimate atmosphere that feels like an introspective day exploring a quaint house and garden. One of the album’s loudest songs “Cherry Blossom” is a favorite, with dual vocals (particularly Gomez’s heavy whisper-like voice,) deep piano and a slowly chugging-along rhythm. Opener “I Can’t Imagine” is quieter but just as powerful, with Williams singing lyrics inspired by a fan who wrote to her about his time in the military – particularly the duty of moving dead bodies. Others that I really enjoyed are the drearily dreamy title track and the thoughtful, acoustic-and-piano driven “Sudden Bright,” using a very wide-open sound that was inspired by a news story about a nearby fire that burned acres of land: “we can watch the end of the world from here.”

Mark Lanegan Band Blues Funeral

(4AD)
Lanegan has been active since 1985, providing his uniquely weathered-sounding voice as a founding member of Screaming Trees before joining Queens Of The Stone Age in 2000 (other collaborations include work with The Twilight Singers, The Gutter Twins and Isobel Campbell.) It proves to be a vital asset on his seventh solo record, with his blues-rock truly sounding like it was inspired by living through some serious rough patches. His sad “ohhhh”-filled “Bleeding Muddy Water” is a great example of conveying bleakness through his unmistakable vocal talent. He throws in a good amount of musical variety to convey different types of sorrow and uncertainty, such as the rugged cement-truck build-up of the oddly romantic opener “The Gravedigger’s Song.” The perpetually-rocking “Riot In My House” is another standout, sounding like something straight out of the early 90s, complete with trippy imagery (“angels fill my room / with what I’ve scant belief in / when death’s metal broom / comes sweeping through the evening…”) “Ode To Sad Disco” is the record’s biggest surprise, incorporating an 80s-sounding electropop beat and synth that, backed by a guitar emoting along in the distance, really makes his crooning soar.
