Vinyl Conflict To Release New Album By Local Hip Hop Artist

Posted on June 26, 2018 by Scott

RVA Magazine has an interesting article about how the Vinyl Conflict store is expanding its in-house label offerings to include hip hop.

Excerpt:

Vinyl Conflict record shop has announced that Nickelus F’s new album, Stuck, will be released on the shop’s locals-only label, Vinyl Conflict Records, later this summer with an edition of 500 copies. The album was originally released on AGM on May 11 as a digital-only release.

Vinyl Conflict is known throughout the region for its selection of punk, metal, and hardcore records. Bobby Egger, owner and operator of Vinyl Conflict, started the locals-only imprint almost a decade ago to showcase punk and hardcore groups from Richmond. Nickelus F will be the first hip-hop artist on the label.

—

“We went through some really really dark times out here,” said Nickelus F. “I think we’re raising the integrity of the art that comes out from the city when it comes to hip hop artists.”

Egger is excited for the upcoming release Vinyl Conflict records, and has several other hip hop releases planned for the near future. He was surprised to learn that Nickelus F was dialed into the punk scene well before they agreed to do the record, and that his favorite local metal band is Cough.

Percussive Friday

Posted on June 5, 2018 by Scott

Laurel Street neighbor Tommy Birchett is hosting a show this Friday at the Black Iris, over on Broad Street.

From the venue’s website and Bandcamp.com:

When Tommy is not taking out the trash in Oregon Hill, he can be found manipulating sounds with homemade instruments, discarded technology, and electronic toys.

Tommy has opened several times for his friend and fellow musician Tatsuya Nakatani, a Japanese avant-garde sound artist and master percussionist who has released over 80 recordings and tours internationally.
