Rumble & Scream: If It Feels Good
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.
Rumble & Scream: If It Feels Good was written, composed, recorded, engineered, and produced by Rumble & Scream (Jordan Tyler Temchack - vocals, guitars, harmonica, drum machine; Bethany Temchack - drums, toy piano, synthesizers; Justin Kasubick - bass, guitar, synthesizers, melodica, theremin) for Holy Crick Records, LLC (2026).
Track 3, "Viola Bottom," features Taylor Buhler on lap steel guitar.
Mixed by J.T. Temchack and Travis "StringBean" McCoy for Holy Crick Records, LLC.
This EP was made possible by a grant from Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA) and Damascus Citizens for Sustainability (DCS).
Executive produced and distributed by Holy Crick Records, LLC (2026).

Rumble & Scream: Post-Industrial Sounds in Pennsylkrainia—Act I
Released by Holy Crick Records, LLC - February 2, 2025.
“Welcome to Pennsylkrainia and the Noise Shack where the ridges & valleys are filled with the raggedly beautiful folk-punk songs of Rumble & Scream. The lyrics are perceptive, the stories are poignant, and the music is what you hear when you put your ear close to a rail track or as you're lifting a brook trout out of a mountain stream. That is to say, soulful, an America where 'Mavis Staples is Queen' and we dance on gravel with each other.”
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.
In the year 2100, the tale is narrated by the pair’s grandson, Lattimore Scream—an Pennsylkrainian hillbilly-bard—who stitches together all the songs and stories that were passed down to him from his grandparent’s collection of co-writes and oral histories into a musical memoir that he hopes is worthy of their honor.
As the title implies, this is only "Act I" of our story—meaning your support helps to ensure the whole tale of Rumble & Scream can come to you sooner, rather than later.
A great way to support the project, is by purchasing a physical R&S collectible item, like a CD or book!
