On this episode of DCxPC Live Presents: Scene Support, I sit down with Chris and Liz of Roach and Roll Records and Stellar Records in Fort Myers, Florida, to talk about putting out records, running an independent record store, and giving a local scene a place to come together.
We get into how Roach and Roll started during the pandemic, what pushed Liz to leave her career and open a record store, and the everyday work that keeps both going. From pressing plant headaches and pricing used records to hosting shows, paying bands, and making younger fans feel welcome, Chris and Liz share what they’ve learned along the way.
We also talk about our collaboration with Ripping Records on the Runnamucks’ Of a Different Breed reissue and the idea behind And Out Come the Flamingos, a Florida punk compilation funded through shows, with records going back into fans’ hands for free. It’s a dope example of people pooling their resources to help more people hear the bands they love.
Along the way, we trade stories about the scenes that shaped us, why physical media still matters, and getting older without losing the urge to keep doing this. There’s plenty of record nerd talk, a few ridiculous detours, and a shared love for the people who keep showing up for their communities.
