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!

Record Store Day

Record Store Day 2025 (April 12th from 8AM-7PM)

Record Store Day will be here soon enough. True.  April 12th, 2025 is a Saturday and we will be open from 8AM-7PM.

We are located at:
69 South Turnpike Road, Wallingford, CT 06492

We will have a lot of Record Store Day specific items. There will be a line that forms by our large bay door. This year we will be using a menu system to help the line move along even quicker than usual. Once we arrive and have things all set up we will come out to the line and hand out these menus (a list of items that you can request items from ; 1 of each item per person maximum) and later retrieve them. At 8AM we will start ringing up the orders and passing them out. When we are out of a given item we will let folks know in the best way we can and offer the available items to anyone with a filled out form/menu in line order.

A list of available items will be posted on the 11th (the night before RSD) by 7PM on our website. 

Parking is available by our shop with excess parking available behind / beside the gas station just south of the store on the same side of the street (other side of the closest traffic light) or at Cody’s Barbershop (across the street in the opposite direction). Do be careful crossing the street! Please be mindful of our neighbors and do your best not to congest the lot or park in non-parking spaces (use the lots mentioned and seen in this photo below).

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!

Oh hey lookie here! There’s a new addition to our shirt selection and it might look familiar!

Our friend Helen ( aka @zazzcorp ) designed us a shirt about 5 years ago and it was one of our most popular ever. We asked her to give it an update for 2025 and here we are!

The Three-Eyed cat with a pair of 9s (we’re celebrating 18 years of business this year) and a lucky infinity coin (for the future!).

Don’t forget to spay and neuter your pets! (The original design was released in part as a fund raising effort for @branfordcompassionclub – please do visit their page and send some funds should you feel inclined!)

Printed on Comfort Colors shirts by the local business @microprintshop right here in Wallingford, CT.

Available in store or though our Big Cartel linked in bio or directly here:
