RSR PC 088 Ritual Pizza Co with Jay and Kyle

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.

Kyle and Jay Holmes of Ritual Pizza Co

We talk about the beginnings of the operation doing pop ups and now recently moving from Manchester to Cheshire. We’re looking forward to having them there for our next record fair (in October)! Oh, and we talk about Manners, a hardcore band Jay was in, ever so briefly.  We veer off in a few directions. Check it out!

RSR PC 087 Jentlemen & Townwide Tyler (Neu Body, Heatsync)

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. Tyler has been shopping at the store since he was a pre-teen! We talk about his brief brush with hype beast fame and general musical trajectory.

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 about what we’re listening to and so on!

Best Of, Favorites, Podcast

RSR PC 085 Favorites of 2024

Redscroll & Friends Favorites of 2024

We have our (Rick & Josh’s) favorites of the year as usual. We have the Redscroll employee favorites also as usual. We’ve expanded beyond that even! Favorites from some folks in bands on our record label and folks we closely associate and collaborate on the regular! Friends! Most of those folks have recorded their own list and introduced themselves plus there’s a few that have submitted a list that we’ve creatively included. You can go on the web post to peruse their lists (redscroll records dot com) as well. They’ve all but a couple (yet) been on the podcast too so we’ll include their respective episode links on the site as well.

Happy New Year!

Redscroll Records Label Releases for 2024

We generally feel too close to them ourselves (Josh & Rick) to include the Redscroll releases as favorites, but of course they are. We wouldn’t release them otherwise! So, firstly, here’s a quick round up of what we’ve released this past year (and it’s been a good amount of great stuff)!

In chronological order:
February 2nd: Intercourse “Egyptian Democracy / Bum Wine” 12”
February 2nd: Doom Beach / Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop Chop (split) 12”
March 1st: Tongue Depressor & Austin Larkin “Landau Bar” LP
April 5th: The Knife Kickers “Nameless” LP
April 8th: Dirt Devil “Desert Moon” CS (SOLD OUT)
June 18th: Intercourse “Bag Fumblers Incorporated 2021-2024” CD
July 5th: Trance Macabre “Trance Macabre” LP
August 2nd: Dissolve “Burnt” CS/LP
October 29th / December 6th: Chained to the Bottom of the Ocean “Sisyphean Cruelty” CD/CS/LP

We’ve got a couple slated for next year already so we’re not slowing down! Stay tuned for announcements on those!

A couple more we were associate with with exclusive colors this year too!

Kidnapped “Disgust” (DAZE) – would absolutely work with again, Lumpy is great. Kidnapped is great.

Craven Faults “Bounds” (Leaf) Electronic experimental ambient act out of the Yorkshire, UK. We were contacted by Leaf about splitting a color (Lime Kiln Grey) with Norman Records in the UK and to have a unique OBI strip and it came out great. The record is really a great record and we’re happy to be associated with it and it’s our first overseas collaboration of any kind so that’s pretty exciting and we’re absolutely chuffed with how it turned out.

FAVORITES LISTS!

We’ve got our lists first. Staff picks follow. Then the rest will be in no particular order other than I will try to mix it up in the edit and put different ends of the spectrum back to back to keep y’all on your toes and hopefully interested in it all! Like I said before you’ll be able to check them all out on our web post. Links, pictures, etc. up on the site. I’ll assemble a playlist as well to publish with this so you can check all these things in more depth in your own time. That link will be on the web post as well.

RSR PC 084 Ben of Manic Presents

Ben Levesque joins us at the shop to talk shop about shows, concerts, gigs and such! Ben has been with Manic Presents for about as long as we’ve had the store now (over 17 years!), but recently made a huge jump from working essentially 2 full time jobs to dedicating all his time to Manic Presents in a yet to be named position. When it comes to running and booking shows he’s a jack of all trades. We talk about some inside baseball – the inner workings of things without blowing up any spots.

Ben of Manic Presents

We talk about music in general and we push out in all directions pertaining to Manic Presents and its venues and what Ben hopes to do with all of those and more!

You can buy tickets to all their shows at the store with no online extra fees (they are emailed and not physical, but no fees).  You can also check them out online (and buy tickets) through their site:
