Chris Banta is in one of my favorite newfound bands, Brother O' Brother. Chris and Warner Swopes make some beautiful blues-driven noise and put on a show like you've never seen. 

Brother O'Brother vocalist/guitarist and Romanus Records founder Chris Banta has been wowing vinyl collectors as of late with incredibly innovative pressings ranging from the world's first four-color, glow-in-the-dark, liquid-filled LP to a recent seven-inch on Fonoflo Records with customized Monopoly money inside. Based out of Indianapolis, the band's creativity when it comes to vinyl -- as well as their frenzied, retro sound -- have recently scored them gigs at Third Man Records' Nashville and Detroit locations, leading to Chris even using one of Jack White's amps during their set! You may have heard Heather and Sarah from Wax Mage Records sing his praises back on episode 17 of the show, and today he discusses Brother O'Brother's paint and confetti-fueled music video for "You Would," the rare hydra press he did for Third Man act The Greenhornes, how Third Man's Ben Blackwell purchased Chris' first glow-in-the-dark dinosaur bone record, his own pressings going for hundreds of dollars on Discogs, an upcoming Star Wars-themed variant Chris is working on and much more! Follow @brotherobrother_ and @romanusrecords on Instagram to check out all the crazy vinyl we talk about on this episode.

Chris Banta is an artist, musician and business owner that produces incredibly unique pieces in the form of playable vinyl records! Some of his claims to fame include records filled with sand, Doritos, LEDs, snakeskin, maggots, scorpions, blood and more! (Chris assured me that real blood isn't practical, though it would be cooler if it was). We talk about music, art, running a small business and of course he takes the Paranormal Conspiracy Probe like a true champ.Check out Chris Banta and Romanus Records at:https://romanusrecords.com/If you like this content and want to help support creating more please consider becoming a patreon or buying a book, comic, sticker or other merch.
