The day we tracked Exit 18’s single, hello u’r mine, we also tracked the title track from their new album – Incantations. We wheeled the (very old) upright piano that lives in Studio B’s lounge into Studio A, installed a light in it, and a 4K Nikon camera (held in place with the lid). Julia Perry proceeded to perform inspiring takes at the piano – presenting acoustic challenges for Chuck who had to contend with the drums and piano in the same space (Rafi wanted the drums in the big room – for a huge rock sound)… Anyway – check out their performance – which is nothing short of mesmerizing. All performed live!

Shotgun Waltz – Returns to Q
Shotgun Waltz returns to Q Division to track to new singles, Pity Party and Sink or Swim, out now on Bandcamp! Produced and mixed by Ed Valauskas with mastering by Pat DiCenso and recording by James Bridges, these sessions were bound to rock out and rock they did. Pulling influence from Indie, Americana and alternative rock, Shotgun Waltz delivers a fresh sound while holding on to a 90’s rock vibe.
Alisa Amador on The Kelly Clarkson Show – Recorded in Studio A
Alisa Amador came to Q to shoot a live version of her song ‘Enough’ for The Kelly Clarkson Show. Backed by the incredible Cilla Bonnie on bass and long time friend of Q, Dave Brophy on drums, it was magic in gorgeous Studio A! Chuck Hargreaves recorded and engineered and Dave Brophy mixed.
Alisa Amador made history in 2022 as the first-ever Spanish language song to win the Tiny Desk Contest and has since gone on to release her highly praised first full length album Multitudes.
Ed Sheeran in Studio A
Back in June of 2023 we had a super fun and super secret session with Ed Sheeran. He came through to shoot some video of him playing through his new loop pedal station. They also shot some interviews with him in the control room.
He was friendly, gracious, and incredibly fast – in and out in under two hours!
Check out the video of Shape Of You, and the interview, below.
