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.
