Ruby Red Riverside

First time even looking at this profile in forever it seems. The hoops just to get back in this thing... Any site that spins my hard-drive up (even after all these years) is still trash to me. That means very little tech improvements or advances to this site have been made in my absence. When will this site go MySpace's route? I don't see the relevance anymore, as I can't even after 10 years+ STILL merely change my profile picture. Trash, until next visit - if there is one... peace whoever's reading.

Apparently... be nice to have my new profile pic if anything, but hey, maybe someday

Been away for years mainly 'cause I can't tailor my profile pic or home page anymore. Subsequently been over at Twitter living more the life that isn't chocked out here for a while; prove me wrong, I come back more.

Ruby Red Riverside turned 10 today!

Ruby Red Riverside turned 10 today! (literally haven’t been on this site for years, as some can tell) (check this space for info and whereabouts - if it allows; which is why I stopped)

The label, Covid-19, and life in general continue; as does the lives of everyone else I presume. Be seein’ you all for a little while in a little while. Tumblr can’t show my Avatar for some reason also no matter the dozens of attempts to get one to stick, ah well....

Apparently my silky pipes open up this Ripper (pun intended) of a romper-stomping terrorizer. Cheers and thank you to the Academy, band, and friends involved in its creation. We did it! Well, the band actually did it and damn proud of them for doing so. Onward to 2020! 🎸💀⛓🥁🔗☠️ • • #metal #hardrock #horror #scary #gravelands #sludge #thrashmetal #grunge #rock #london #uk @apfrecords #deadite #joinus #cameo (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1CFn8VpNZ8/?igshid=ay8c97frwe9f

People, I give you the Primitive Man/Hell split by Translation Loss Records (2019). It arrived for the weekend, oh yes. This is but a drop of the heavy I shall be pummeled with for today and tomorrow, but with the exception of something I received just earlier nothing else comes close topping this. • • • #doom #death #newrelease #splitrelease #hell #rock @primitivemandoom #music #mailday #vinyl #coloredvinyl https://www.instagram.com/rubyredriver/p/BvEp99NFYMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qip50uruuhby

So busy battling and braving the snowy white this week, got these guys at the end of last week inspiring me to soldier on: The sheer crush of @thebandoryx and their latest from @sludgelordrecords, coupled with the soaring metal goodness of @silver.talon from @rapidfirerecords has been key! #cassette #tapes #metal #tunesfortheroad #sludge #heavymetal #supportartists #supportmusic #cassettes #springiscoming https://www.instagram.com/p/Bt34IL8libA/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hnqw8fdl5i1a

God God, this flu can finally fuck the hell off at this point (dodging a bronchiole infection by a hair). Kudos and love for my guy @lightsabres cheering me up! Was so out of it on Friday, I didn’t even bother checking the mailbox until Saturday afternoon and lo and behold, there they were. Beauteous package/s from @dhu_records, incidentally also where you can find one of these versions at least left. 🔊🎸💥 #supportindiemusic #rock #punk #stoner #grunge #doompop #alternapunk #stonerpop #trashrock #alternative #vinyl #coloredvinyl #life #music #ashortcuttoinsanity #records https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsl3-T5lQDr/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fsxz7k9krmai

Welcome 2019 As we begin the new year with 5 years under our belt, M.C.R. will be set to release some fine recordings once again unto the world. However not too many will be released for this year, partially as I personally look to celebrate a half century of life on this wonderful chaotic planet. I’ve only one life and I plan to live it thanks, so expect around the midsummer to be somewhat quiet. That’s said, quality will definitely be the main theme over quantity, and a few internal changes and new approaches shall also be put into effect. One such long-standing change will be moving M.C.R. to a much larger base of operations (this has been a while in the coming). The main goal for this year hopefully will be that of exclusive vinyl releases from us at last. The past few years in particular have been very interesting when considering the future path of this label, and hopefully the surprises to come shall be exciting indeed. To EVERYONE who has purchased a tape, CD, record, or merely even simply downloaded directly from the artists, you have been the reason for keeping us alive thus far. If you also have a new favorite artist or band from any of the releases offered in our catalog, then our job is done. M.C.R. may be just be an indie imprint but ambition and ideals are high, so please join us and see what’s in store! #grateful #heavy #happynewyear2019 #doom #blackmetal #drone #ambient #extrememetal #rock #manythanks #vinyl #cassettes #music #5yearanniversary #supportartists #indiemusic #alternative #seeyounextyear (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/BsEuijvFh0Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10k17c5ii77um
