Give-Away: Skatalites at The Space June 20th 

 Wednesday, June 20th
$18 ($15 In Advance), 7pm doors 
The Space (Hamden, CT)
If you’re unfamiliar with the Skatalites (wait, really?) then please feel free to visit this link with their history (and the history of ska, basically).
So, let’s get to it. I have one pair of passes to share.  You want to go to this show and for some reason you haven’t bought a ticket yet and you have a friend/date/other that will go with you in the same predicament. Step 1. Come to the store. This one is not an email contest. Step 2.Draw a checkered pattern on a piece of paper with your full name on it (and either a phone number or email address to contact you). We’ll collect checkered entries until Friday, June 1st at 5PM and announce the winner in our weekly update (as well as contacting said person directly).  You’ll still have time to buy a ticket if you don’t win that way (tickets are available at The Space or online through their website). You’ll still have fun!

 

give-away, movies, New Haven, Update

11th of May 2012 Update / R.A.W. Give-Away / RSR New Haven

11th of May 2012 Update of New and Key Restocked Items
at Redscroll Records
First, I have to confess that I accidentally filed the new stuff for the week into our full inventory so some of this list is me hurriedly going over invoices to fill in the blanks (excuse any short-hand; I hope it’s decipherable at least). I may also have missed something or another so please ask if you’re curious about a particular release you’re looking for (do this always actually – we encourage it).
We’ve also got a contest for another movie showing at Real Art Ways! And, finally, our friends at Intercambio have a wall of records that we’ve supplied. More on that below as well.
CONTEST!
All right, so quickly, the Punch Brothers documentary How To Grow A Band is playing at Real Art Ways through next weekend (started today). If you’d like to see this one for free I have a bunch of passes to give-away and I just need you to email me at redscroll@gmail.com with the name of the famous banjo picker who recently passed away and has a banjo picking technique named after him. So simple! Free movie!
Redscroll Records in New Haven!
We’ve been talking about Intercambio a bunch lately and with cause. It’s an exciting new thing in New Haven and they’re working with us on a few levels (and we with them, of course).  Now, they have some records from us down there. So, if you’re in New Haven and don’t get up to Wallingford much you can now just stop in there and buy some records from us at that location.  Mind you, it’s a small selection and we’ll rotate it from time to time, but if you keep an eye on our updates or peruse our inventory on Discogs and you want something delivered to Intercambio we’ll gladly do that. They’ve just done a lot of work on the space and have it ready for an exhibition of works by Dan Greene called “Knife Thrower” (which you should check out for yourself – sneak peak in the photo below). Intercambio is open during special events of course (some of the time the records may be put away depending on the event). 
There will also be regular gallery hours:
Thursday and Friday 1-7PM
Saturday and Sunday 12-5PM

Stone Titan 7″ 
 
(Self-Released)
If you love Eyehategod or Buzzoven, then Stone Titan is for you. They’ve got those loose whiskey-soaked blues riffs & heavy-as-hell-slow-as-fuck qualities that will bring out your inner hatred for just about everything. Connecticut really needed this sort of doom rock injection.  This two-song 7″ (songs titled: “Planet Melter” & “I Fucking Hate You”) is their first non-cassette release, but it just isn’t enough. I want to hear what these guys do with a full length, which I hear is on its way. The only draw back here is the lack of a lyrics sheet, but I’m sure if you e-mailed Scott, he’d hook you up. 
[Reviewer: Josh]

Supreme Dicks Breathing And Not Breathing CD
 
(Jagjaguwar)
Even though this Amhurst, MA-based band stayed pretty underground, their unique, explorative style of experimental/psych/indie rock was highly influential on bands like Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr. (the former of which they’d open for) during their heyday in the early-to-mid 90s. This 4-CD release compiles over 4 hours of music from their discography, which includes their two albums The Unexamined Life and The Emotional Plague (both of which were recently released on their own double-LPs for the first time.) This set also compiles the early recording collection Working Man’s Dick and the released-only-in-Italy This Is Not a Dick E.P., as well as some rare/unreleased tracks. It’s clear to see their influence on 90s art/noise rock, with their sharply tuned guitars, eerily poetic lyrics and overall non-confrontational nature. Even with unconventional elements such as increasing-in-speed-and-complexity guitar work, tracks like “Jack Smith” sound quite cozy, telling an intimate account of a “glowing creature” that “reached across an empire.” The more experimental, meticulously artistic soundscapes in tracks like “Country Of Nuns” and the particularly eerie, spoken-poetry backed “Cows Of Light” help explain where Sonic Youth drew some inspiration from.
[Reviewer: Mark] [Note: This is not yet in the store, but keep an eye out for it soon.]
Unsane Wreck CD/LP
(Alternative Tentacles) [Buy From RSR Online]
It’s been over 20 years since this notorious post-hardcore/noise rock trio from NYC released their self-titled debut, complete with an actual photo of a man decapitated after getting run over by a subway train. It’s a perfectly ghastly representation of the sound that Unsane remains true to on their seventh full-length. Like an unforgiving, deeply inner-city landscape, it’s sonically rough, eerily nerve-wracking (the guitar twang in “Ghost” is an excellent example) and filled with concrete-thick bass riffs that feel heavy enough to splatter you if they fell on your head. It’s especially impressive that, even with their attachment to the same basic sound as before, they still sound fresh by mixing the energy and aggression of punk with the brutal, ruminating song structure of metal. One of my favorites is the ominous “No Chance,” which stays very close to Unsane’s traditional “you’re doomed” atmosphere, complete with an unnerving harmonica and lyrics (“you’re too close, but you’re just out of reach / can’t lay down / watch us drown.”) Another easy standout is the closing track: a very well translated cover of Flipper’s “Ha Ha Ha,” lined with many additional creepy “ha’s” throughout to provide an additionally sinister spin.

Give-Away: Chicago Underground Duo, Lone Wolf, Ryan Sawyer (Friday 5/11/12)

Give-Away: 
Chicago Underground Duo, Lone Wolf, Ryan Sawyer (Friday 5/11/12)

Chicago Underground Duo
(video that doesn’t allow embedding)
On Friday Night at 8PM for $8 (All Ages) is a Sound Hall event (check the linked page for full information) in New Haven, CT at Intercambio (The Project Storefronts space at 756 Chapel Street).
Lone Wolf & Cub Video
(that also doesn’t allow embedding)
We have two passes to give away to this event. Here’s what you have to do: Tell me what raging band Ryan Sawyer drummed for (one of the first drummers of said band) previous to Tall Firs. The correct answer is not drummer 62 for the Boredoms 77 project (though, that is true too). Email the answer and your full name to redscroll@gmail.com and I’ll get the first two people to answer correctly on the guest list.
As a bonus: The Dan Greene exhibit will be in view before it’s official opening the next night!

Estrogen Highs, Live Music, Purling Hiss, The Inclined Plane, The Young

Live Music: June 30th Purling Hiss, Estrogen Highs, Inclined Plane

Live Music: June 30th The Young, Purling Hiss, Estrogen Highs, Inclined Plane

Due to  some unfortunate events (close family member of the drummer for The Young passed away) The Young have had to drop off a few dates. This is one of them. The show is going on as scheduled otherwise – chance of music continuing after the bands is also pretty good (pretty pretty good).

We’re happy to officially announce (though there’s a good chance you’ve seen it listed already) that we’ve booked a fine show. 

The Young‘s Dub Egg album is coming out mid-June on Matador records (the promo poster for which was butchered to make the above image). They have a release on Mexican Summer called Voyagers of Legend which you can listen to 4 tracks off of here:

Purling Hiss have a few more releases to their name (on Permanent Records and Mexican Summer among others). Altered States (the now defunct Pitchfork off-shoot for more left of center pleasings) did a nice profile of these guys a bit back. Check that out here.

Estrogen Highs are CT’s own flag bearers of garage rock and stick and poke Hatebreed tattoos (I’m not joking about that; it’s real). We did a spotlight on Estrogen Highs almost a year ago and it’s a nice brief introduction for those that still need it. Get on the ball, people!


Inclined Plane are also of local origin – though more northern. In such a small part of the world, let’s not nit-pick. They basically live in our neighborhood. They don’t play nearly as much as any of either of these bands so it’s really great that we’re getting a set from them as well!

Hope to see many of you there. We, of course, carry music by all of these bands in the shop if you feel so inclined (plane) to pick any of it up before hand!  We do have tickets for the show as well (no additional charge) and so does Intercambio.

June 30, 2012: The Young, Purling Hiss, Estrogen Highs, Inclined Plane at Intercambio (756 Chapel Street, New Haven, CT). 8PM $8 All Ages

Ferocious Fucking Teeth Ferocious Fucking Teeth LP+CD

[buy from RSR online]
(Safety Meeting Records)
I first saw these guys open for PC Worship and Liturgy at Milford’s Daniel Street (R.I.P.) On their debut LP (recorded and engineered by Steve Albini, no less,) this New London quintet does a great job of providing Connecticut with more heavy “stoner doom”/noise rock (after all, we’re located between New York and Rhode Island: why must those two genres (particularly the latter) be so scarce here?) In addition to the screamed vocals and wailing guitar, they utilize two drum sets (clearly evident in the manically energetic bursts of “Mule” and circuitous patterns of “Don’t Go”) and a baritone guitar for maximum depth. Even though I’m typically drawn to fast tempos (“One Bright Light” is a great choice of an intense and headbang-perfect song to kick the record off with,) my favorite tracks are more drawn-out. They include “River,” “Fuck On A Weeknight” and “Putting The ‘O’ Back In Country,” which use seemingly laid-back riffs to build up from a slow-simmering sunset to pent-up aggression. 
[Reviewer: Mark]

Siskiyou Keep Away The Dead LP/CD

[buy from RSR online]
(Constellation Records)
On the second record from this Vancouver four-piece (formerly a duo,) it’s easy to categorize their rustic, warm-sounding acoustic ballads as “folk,” but they want listeners to think deeper than that. Although the songwriting structures may feel cozy, these aren’t a bunch of airy songs about enjoying nature. Singer-songwriter Colin Huebert truly “gets into” the emotions of his vocal role: he has “love to give… and give… and give” in the invigorating, instrumentally-swelling “Twigs And Stones,” which relies of plenty of interesting metaphors (“I am house built / out of twigs and stones / I am a house, but / I am not a home.”) Most memorably, he sounds legitimately shaken from both frustration and despondence on a fittingly dark cover of Neil Young’s “Revolution Blues” (“you never see us / ’cause we don’t come around / we got twenty five rifles / just to keep the population down.”) It’s a great demonstration of how emotional delivery can really drive the music’s point across.
