Gun to God's Head is a fairly new local metalcore band. Members who joined us on the podcast this month are Del (frontwoman/vocalist), Kane (also notably a member of current very active band Vomit Forth), and Brandon (who plays in so many bands he can't name them off the top of his head, ha! We might've put him on the spot in this episode). Kane, Del & Brandon This episode could very much serve as a primer to metalcore (and shoegaze and some other off-shoot inspirations) through the filter of 3 members of Gun to God's Head. I felt that so much that I announced during the show that I would make a playlist. So I did. Here it is. Definitely listen to the show and then skim through this playlist and take in the stuff that may be new to you or you want to check out more deeply. Lots of bands mentioned in this show.

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. 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!

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)!

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.

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: https://manicpresents.com/ Music on this episode: Intro: Monkees "Circle Sky" Head (RCA / Colgems...)

Nick & Tim helm a relatively new project called Disfigure. So far, they have just one tape release though they are working on more. Nick worked on many of the songs in relative isolation while living in New Hampshire and then recorded them with Tim once back in CT.  We start as usual talking about what we're listening to.  We recorded in October which lent itself to some opening talk about horror movies and bake off.  We quickly veer into how the band started and what inspired it to happen; how they were inspired by Godflesh, d-beat and black metal to create their sound. Conversation continues down that path and veers off until we finally trail off talking about the first Redscroll release after becoming a store, Hostage Calm's Lens - a record Tim is on and a band Nick later joined and also a band that bares little other connection to this current project sound-wise other than the people who made it.  Anyway! Battle metal madness!    Links: https://disfigurebandct.bandcamp.com/ https://www.instagram.com/disfigure_ct Opening: Disfigure "Usher the Dawn" New Age of Judgement (Self-Released) Rick: The Necks "Bleed" Bleed (Northern Spy) Billy Woods & Kenny Segal "Spongebob" Hiding Places (Backwoodz Studios) Ministry "The Land of Rape & Honey" The Land of Rape & Honey (Rhino) Senyawa "Alnilam" Vajranala (The State51 Conspiracy) Josh: Type O Negative "Love You To Death" October Rust (Rhino) Godspeed You!

We are joined by a man, Byron Coley, who has more stories than we could fit into every past episode of our podcast and we surely packed as much as we could into a single sit down. We start off with some talk about what we're listening to as usual and we move on to record fair talk (don't forget about our Record Fair at Counter Weight Brewing Co. on October 13th featuring Byron selling upstairs!). Byron tells tales of driving John Fahey around looking for classical records, his process for listening to 10 new records everyday, writing for weekly publications and magazines like the Wire, Forced Exposure, Spin and on and on.  We talk about the label and store he runs with his friend Ted in Florence, Western Massachusetts. We go back to his start writing a tour diary with Devo, but this is yet a scratch on the surface and this podcast is our longest yet for good reason! Check it out!

On this episode we talk to the purveyors of Little Lost Records in Stafford Springs, CT.  Musical folks looking to spread their love of music in the North East corner of CT opened their store just about a year ago. Conor and Abbie discuss meeting through their connection to Paul Winter! Through that connection they opened this new store. Randy (previously on our podcast in 2017 as a member of the band Cable) visited their shop opening day and quickly became a regular and soon partner! Listen to all the details on this episode!  We talk about the music we're listening to. We talk about the music they make outside of the shop. We talk about the music that happens in their shop! We talk about the music made by another shopkeep, Ian of Records the Good Kind (check out his episode on the podcast here and his musical project, The Aspersions here and his previous group Musical Chairs here). We talk about the town of Stafford Springs and what they'd like to see move in to their town. We go off in a few directions.
