The Redscroll Podcast Redscroll Records

This month we talk to 4 out of 5 members of Dirt Devil - Allie, Dan, Lemmy and Nikki! (Laura lives in Providence and coordinating all 5 would've been tricky!)  We talk about what we're all listening to. We talk about the new album Desert Moon coming out on April 8th (the day of the 100% total eclipse!) and what went into that - including all the visual aspects (costumes, props, videos... links below). 

We talk about the Dave Matthews Band Meadows Riot. The town of Bristol gets name dropped. CD club services get a shout. Tarot talk leads to Halloween costumes talk. The Don Giovanni & California X (Dan and Lemmy's previous band) pipeline... we go on. Their couple release shows are coming up April 12th (here at the store) and May 4th (western Mass.). Check it out!

Here it is - the end of the year favorites podcast including lists by each staff member here at Redscroll! The podcast has a clip from each album.  It's a fun listen! Whoops... mostly music! [Lists are alphabetical - no particular order otherwise. Some of Josh's and Rick's lists got tacked on at the end with fun text to voice notes.]

First off,  these are things we loved enough to release and Josh and I (Rick) didn't include in our own favorites list because it is basically a given.

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).
