We hosted and met so many bands during the 18 month long residency of Converse’s Rubber Tracks pop up studio that we’ve completely lost track of everyone who visited! Here’s a great couple of loud sludgy rocker from Sleep Crime. I’d love to know what was going on with the guitars, the fuzz is fantastically lush! Engineered by Matt Beaudoin in Studio A.

Helicopter Helicopter – The Modern World
After years of laying low there’s new Helicopter Helicopter out in the world… Not only did the band reunite in Studio B last summer to track a few songs, you’ll notice ex Boston rocker Dave Foy in the video. And they got USA Mike to mix the tune.
Berklee Grammy Album of the Year Mashup
Berklee students explode into a smooth and grandiose mashup arrangement of the 2015 Grammy Album of the Year nominees, including songs from Ed Sheeran, Beck, Beyoncé, and Pharrell Williams. Recorded with help from our very own James Bridges in Q Division’s Studio A (and at The Record Company), the video features an array of talented musicians paying tribute to the artists who helped shape the way for popular music in 2015.
Township – Will O’ The Wisp EP
The last of Township’s 4 EP’s for summer is out. Tracked and mixed by Pat DiCenso, produced by Ed, penned by Marc Pinansky, and rocked by Township. The title tracks is a SIX minute epic journey that would make Journey jealous. Check it.
Old Soldiers – Soon is a Long, Long Time
These 10 songs from Andrew Stern’s Old Soldiers are full of hooky guitars and stories of late night romance… Old Soldier feature James Rohr on keys, Greg Loughman on left handed bass, and Jared Seabrook on drums.
Andrew Stern has multiple bands, and this one’s a vehicle for songs that inhabit the rock zone (think Stones/Waits/The Band). While working on this batch of songs Andrew recorded two other full length albums of instrumental compositions. This is the only project to date that features his voice!
