When two artists, a label manager and a PhD in chemical engineering (who is also one of the artists) start a vinyl pressing plant in Pittsburg and call it Hellbender, it’s pretty cool.
On this episode of Radar I sat down with Pittsburgh native Jeff Betten (Misra Records) and musician/entrepreneur Matt Dowling (SWOLL, bassist of Burial Waves) who recently opened up a new vinyl plant in Pittsburgh, PA. They both have interesting backgrounds in music, business and science which are uncommon combinations.
They are keeping things artist friendly at Hellbender by pressing smaller quantities of records and engaging the community by hosting events such as live shows, listening parties, film screenings and more at the plant.
For more information go to hellbendervinyl.com where you find out more about pressing with them and upcoming events.
