About Redscroll
About Rick
I grew up in suburbia, CT. For fun as a kid I would walk up and down my local creek and see what came - turtles, frogs, dogs, neighborhood kids, lots of skunk cabbage... I started going to shows eventually in urban areas. I stopped eating meat. I started hating humanity (it's the devil). I got a couple degrees along the way (Communication and Music). Josh asked if I wanted to help him open a store. I work at WESU (88.1FM www.wesufm.org) as the Program Manager (it's a sweet part time gig) too.
About Josh
I was lucky to get involved with the underground music scene when I was really young. It influenced me greatly growing up. I dropped out of college. I decided that opening a record store was a good idea. So...we did. I also enjoy foreign cinema, comics, & vegan cooking.
