Released on December 13th, Airport’s latest release continues their exploration of 70’s inspired rock n roll. Tinged with Tom Petty and the Heartbreaker inspired instrumentals underneath an ethereal stack of vocals, these tunes would feel right at home alongside early 2000s alt rock ala Fountains of Wayne and the Old 97s. Recorded and mixed at Q Division Studios by Rafi Sofer, Pat DiCenso, and Matt Tahaney. Listen below.

Parlour Bells – Never Let ‘Em Hold Ya Back
Never Let ‘Em Hold Ya Back marks the beginning of a new phase of Boston-based glam rock band, Parlour Bells. Fronted by Goddamn Glenn, Parlour Bells’ newest single delivers a high-energy vocal performance paired with an infectious groove, powerful horns and blazing guitars. Tracked and mixed by Matt Tahaney in Q Division’s Studio A and D, Never Let ‘Em Hold Ya Back will be featured on Parlour Bells’ upcoming LP, Waylaid in the Melée.
Listen to Never Let ‘Em Hold Ya Back by Parlour Bells:
American Symphony of Soul – Swept Up
Sound of Boston recently checked out the band’s debut, which they worked on with Matt Tahaney. They have this to say:
The album, which was recorded at two Somerville studios—Q Division and Phoenix Down Recording—is a 35-minute work of shining horns, shuffling drums, and rippling electric piano, organ, bass, and guitar. In “Galapagos,” guitarist Alex Mijailovic breaks into a solo you might mistake for a Carlos Santana melody. “You Got Me Bad” is so tight it could well have been produced by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars (the album was produced by Joe Bagale of the Mickey Hart Band).
Read the rest of the review, and here a preview of the album at the Sound of Boston website.
Dinoczar
Look, it’s unclear to us if Dinoczar recorded anything from this track at Q, though we have concrete confirmation that the band did track some of its upcoming EP in Studio B with Matt Tahaney. With a name like Dinoczar we have to share their recent write up in Boston Hassle about their new single.
Love Love – Murderpedia (Video)
Love Love were back in Studio A over the weekend mixing some tunes with Matt Tahaney. This tune, Murderpedia, is from a previous batch of songs that they cut with Matt and Ed in Studio B. The song takes its name from a website that documents homicides… Cheerful!
Awesome video shot and edited by Paul Janovitz – tons of shots of Studio B, and the Midway Cafe!
