Vinyloscopy with Chad McMurray of Rivetskull

During the time we are all living through, I have been digging deep into the world of vinyl. It's been my comfort food and my distraction. 

Don't tell my wife, but in the course of like four months, I've purchased what I would normally buy over the course of an entire year....

If you're going through these kinds of things too, it might be fun to see what others think about those glorious vinyl circles many of us love so very, very much.

Today Chad McMurray of Rivetskull tells us about how he spins vinyl. Check out their debut on BANDCAMP.

1. Listening to Black Sabbath's eponymous debut the night I got it blew me away. What's the album that sounds the best on vinyl compared to digital sources?

1. How are things going where you are? The laws and such?

We are all located in the Seattle and Los Angeles area where the stay at home orders have been very strict.  

They have been allowing people to get back to work under certain conditions and requirements, but there are definitely no music venues opening and there is no expectation for that to happen anytime soon.

5 Min Origin Stories with Chad McMurray of RivetSkull

From over there in Seattle, WA, we have a group called RivetSkull...not sure what that name conjures up in your soul, but for me, I'm instantly transported to the worst Metallica recordings I have ever heard....Night of the Rivvit Heads...

Which make St. Anger sound like Master of Puppets..

But, these folks aren't anything like that at all. 

They're a modern day proto metal band. How many bands like that can you name? They took all the metal and gave it a miss and went back to the godfathers.

Check out their record on BANDCAMP.

1. Is there an event you can point to you that made you say, wow, that's the instrument I want to play? Not like guitar or drums, but the reason why you play the model you do?
