Rumble & Scream
Rumble & Scream is a family band, a theme song, and an ethos.
Rumble & Scream: Post-Industrial Sounds in Pennsylkrainia is a folk-rock, fantasy opera.
Rumble & Scream: Post-Industrial Sounds in Pennsylkrainia—Act I, the debut, full-length album, combines original music and narrative poetry with environmental field recordings to introduce the story of Jeremiah Scream and Betty Rumble.
Now, on stage, the pair’s grandson, Lattimore, fronts the family band, singing his grandparent’s songs and passing on all of their greatest lessons.
Rumble & Scream: “If It Feels Good” is the title track from our new EP, and this lyric video for the song is the first of two videos we’re releasing for this collection.
I guess you could say these videos are siblings, twins cut from the same footage, that see the world in two different ways.
No AI was used, just human hands and a camera phone. No filters either, the water just looks that pretty all on her own.
Rumble & Scream Releases on Holy Crick Records
Rumble & Scream: If It Feels Good (2026)
Rumble & Scream: If It Feels Good, the latest offering from Central Pennsylvania’s Holy Crick Records, is a four song EP that explores environmental issues of the region and its neighboring watersheds with each track raising awareness about a specific concern.
There are light-hearted moments, such as the EP’s opener, “Judy & Me,” a song about a boy who falls asleep to the sounds of coal trucks, and dreams of playing the drums. While his neighbor gets a guitar for Christmas, our boy has to work manual labor jobs to save up and buy his own instrument. Regardless, together, they make some sweet music.
Things get serious in “East Palestine Blues,” which details the 2023 train derailment and chemical spill that crippled the town of East Palestine, OH. When we return to Central PA for “Viola Bottom” a local fishing hole on the Muddy Run is being posted and clear cut for timber.
Closing number and title track, “If It Feels Good,” is more prayer than protest song. In a world plagued by doomscrolling and corporations preying on people's obsessive nature, this song asks that we seek repetition in healthier things: singing, dancing, and praying for peace within ourselves, then letting it radiate into the world around us.
Available at Bandcamp.com or on YouTube.
This project received a grant from Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) and Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS).
Rumble & Scream: Post-Industrial Sounds in Pennsylkraina—Act I (2025)
Rumble & Scream: Post-Industrial Sounds in Pennsylkrainia—Act I is a newfound piece of the quilt that is Appalachian-American culture. Much more than a debut full-length album, it is a traditional folk-rock opera and a modern musical myth for the post-digital age to come.
Created and produced by multi-instrumentalists and creative partners: Jordan Tyler Temchack, Bethany Temchack, and Justin Kasubick, Rumble & Scream, is the fictional story of Jeremiah Scream and Betty Rumble who live in a small, rural village in Northern Appalachia called Holy Crick, Pennsylkrainia.
Uniquely: Act I can be enjoyed in a variety of ways: by listening to all 26 tracks of original music and narrative poetry featuring environmental field recordings of the sounds of Pennsylkrainia on CD or at Bandcamp.com, or dig into the music via the 9 songs only streaming version available on YouTube.
This project received a 2022 Appal Seed Fund grant, sponsored by Appalshop and WMMT 88.7FM.
