The fifth member of the Old 3C Label Group is Naked Walls Records of the Columbus, Ohio area, directed by Ed Shuttleworth, whose projects Red Skylark and Van Echo appear on the label. Ed’s been in several bands over the years, and one of those, Vena Cava, has a previous release issued by Old 3C Records.

| NW 01 | Red Skylark, self-titled CDR | 9 songs
| Amazon Music | Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube Music
Written, played, and recorded by Ed Shuttleworth at his Owl Nest Studio in Granville, Ohio, with assistance from Joe Nelson, David Chatterton, and Kirk Richard Smith. The discerning listener may hear some Cheap Trick, Guided By Voices, and other midwest touchstones — and there’s nothing wrong with that kind of tasty, audio-flavor combination. So, have at it, rock and rollers.

| NW 02 | Van Echo, Endless Winter, Episode 1 | 2 songs
| Amazon Music | Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube Music
Songwriter, guitar-slinger, and crooner Ed Shuttleworth is joined by a new line-up of pals from Cincinnati’s The Ready Stance — Wesley Pence (guitar, vox), Brian Kitzmiller (drums), and Randy Cheek (bass, vox) — and the fellas bring the melodic but muscular indie-rock, big time. New songs, new band name. Long live Van Echo.

| NW 03 | Van Echo, Nobody Else | 1 song

| Here’s more info from an article in Cincinnati’s City Beat.
| Review | Dagger Zine (Tim Hinely)
Van Echo makes its physical-product debut with this song from a limited-edition, split 7″ vinyl single – with Ed Shuttleworth’s “other” band Closet Mix on the flip side, which features longtime members of the Columbus indie scene.
| Mail order the 7″ clear-vinyl split-single, packaged in translucent vellum sleeves, via | Bandcamp |Grapefruit Record Club | or directly from Old 3C via Paypal ($10, US orders only) – produced as a limited-edition of 200.

| NW 04 | Red Skylark, Run On | 4 songs
| Amazon Music | Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube Music
Ed Shuttleworth keeps it going solo-style with this four-song EP of power-pop goodness. If you’re not yet familiar with Ed’s unique brand of melodic indie rock, then now’s your chance to rectify that sad situation.

| NW 05 | Red Skylark, Tomorrow’s Gonna Save Me | 6 songs
| Amazon Music | Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube Music
Ed Shuttleworth returns with six fantastic new songs, ably assisted by Closet Mix drummer Dan Della Flora. Here’s yet another chance to get hip to Ed’s unique brand of melodic indie rock that we keep telling you about. You really should give it a try. Go on, do it.

| NW 06 | Red Skylark, Pretty Fate | 6 songs
| Amazon Music | Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube Music
This second six-track EP of basement-recorded songs by Ed Shuttleworth with Dan Della Flora (Closet Mix) on drums “thematically focuses on love in some of its glorious, complicated, and enigmatic aspects.” Very true, and great songs too. Give ’em a spin.
