“Rumble & Scream, the new, multi-dimensional, multi-instrumental folk-rock opera from Jordan Tyler Temchack and Holy Crick Records, is so much more than a magnificent debut album. It shows us what is possible when an artist unlocks his storytelling potential; dazzling the listener with freewheeling, heartbreaking songs sung by characters who capture the pain and promise of rural Pennsylkrainia.
Temchack’s self-styled “hillbilly-libretto” is a barn-storming folkloric map to places real and imagined; brought to life with talented musical collaborators who turn back the clock to show us where we come from, while propelling us into a future as uncertain as it is hopeful.”

How many generations does it take to forget who you are? What does it take to remember?
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 Ukrainian-American kobzar meets hillbilly-folksinger—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.
