The Redscroll Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

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!

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”
April 5th: The Knife Kickers “Nameless” LP
April 8th: Dirt Devil “Desert Moon” CS (SOLD OUT)
March 1st: Tongue Depressor & Austin Larkin “Landau Bar” LP
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.

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.

Thanks to everyone who sent in lists. Thanks to everyone who listened to this! Check out the music that piqued your interests. Holler if you want to pick any of it up. Most of it should be stocked here. I know a few sold out, but hopefully they’ll get represses.

Happy new year. Let’s keep building on to what we’re already doing with all y’all’s help!

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).

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:

The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (new episodes on the first of the month) 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 what is in our personal rotation at the moment. 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). Oh, and please do subscribe! New episodes on the first of every month! (Subscribe on Android)(Subscribe elsewhere just by searching for us please!)

John Zaccaria writes music as The Knife Kickers. Friends fill out the band; it is a rotating cast with John at the center. Ryan Prushinski helped with the latest record that is set to come out in early 2024. Ryan played drums on just over half the songs (he also drums in Doom Beach who've been on the pod before; click here for that) and produced/engineered the recording of the album. 

We talk to John and Ryan about the new record, playing music in general and how the local indie rock scene gave way to his musical journey. We have the privilege of playing a few songs from the new album (one in full at the end of the interview and a couple partial songs in the mix of the interview).

Undergrounds Record Cafe opened under a year ago (about 8 months) in Oakville, CT.  https://undergroundsrecordcafe.com/
We are joined this month by Nick & Dean - the owners of this new hybrid café and record shop. Dean has been shopping with us basically since we opened and his son Nick used to tag along and get lost in the racks (or go over to the sports memorabilia shop and come back to wrangle dad). Time keeps on moving! We start off in the same way we usually do - talking about what we're listening to. We then move the conversation to different aspects of the restaurant and Nick's culinary background. We talk to Dean about what they carry and how they've been reaching more and more folks as word gets out. 

Nick and Dean of Undergrounds Record Cafe

Dean will also be at our record fair next Sunday with a table full of records (and maybe some bread or some sort of sampling from the café?! Something's in the works. ).   Conversation pushes towards what the future holds for the restaurant and possible events and possible dinner services (special occasions).

Anonymity reigns within the dark realm of black metal. We interviewed an entity known to us here as Ajna. Ajna healms Forest Thrall and plays in Vengeance Sorcery, Cerberus, Sravana, Cemetery Lights and likely more currently active and some that are at this time conceptual acts. 

We talk about the Vengeance Sorcery experience of playing Nuclear War Now Fest in Tijuana, Mexico. Ajna goes into depth on the musical paths taken in listening and in playing and gives a short anecdote about how a member of Dokken presented as a sort of missed connection on a tow truck route. We talk about nature and the scourge of the litterer! We veer off on 108 mystic and odd directions and of course we talk about the music we're listening to!

This month we had a chat with Matt Westfall, owner of Counter Weight Brewing Co. We've known Matt for years through music (going to punk shows in our youth) and Counter Weight has been a venue for music here and there since it opened (originally in Hamden and now in Cheshire). It's also where we hold an annual record fair (coming up in October again).  We talk about how Counter Weight is ramping up their events schedule with music and comedy and various other events. We also do talk about beer. It's true. We talk about the Counter Weight accolades and how they like to take input from anyone under their roof and getting involved is highly encouraged - generally trying to teach from within and grow.  

We don't talk about sprint car racing or animating Bob's Burgers (things done by other people with the name Matt Westfall).  We do talk about the role bocce has played in his life and the art and naming of beers. Conversation stretches out from there. 

There is a show we'll be selling records at coming up on July 6th, 2023:
Doors at 7:30PM / Music at 8:00PM
$10 (Shaki Presents)
Ratas En Zelo
Fafa
Spit-Take
