A show so big we had to come back for seconds, SURFACE NOISE has more B-Side for your earholes. On this 'sode the panel shares their own Black Friday Record Store Day (24) exploits, including feverish visits to their local indy stores, online shopping for others while waiting in lines, and perhaps the most controversial take ever - how Target had the most desired (and hard to find) album on that day of days. 

Yes. Target. (Hint: it was a "swift" piece of wax).

How did these vinyl scavengers make out? Click and listen for those answers, ONLY on the the latest FREESTYLE from SURFACE NOISE!

Buddies, you know how important quality and good sounding vinyl are to record collectors everywhere. Today on the pod I speak with Jeff Betten, founder of Hellbender Vinyl in Pittsburgh, PA who gives us a peak behind the curtain of their facility. Open for just under two years now, Hellbender has quickly developed a reputation for quality and creative solutions. As Jeff says "if you can dream it up, we can make it happen". Here Jeff shares the origins of Hellbender, and how an ambitious idea turned into a business plan, and then a full-fledged pressing plant in a town synonymous with building and making things. That local DNA isn't lost on them, including their mission statement: "Hellbent on quality. Hellbent on service. One of America's most trusted vinyl record pressing plants".

Jeff is a musician himself and has been part of the Pittsburgh music scene for a bit, including time spent at a couple labels in the city. From large runs for household names acts, to smaller orders for indie bands just breaking in, Hellbender serves artists and their fans alike by creating great vinyl to share with the world. Learn all about this business and what their future holds here only on Vinyl Community Podcasts!
