Mellow Bravo were in Studio A as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks Series. They recorded and mixed this killer track, with Matt Beaudoin at the controls. It was a blast having these guys in the building – they loved everything they saw, heard, and touched! Matt said he’d recorded no louder band. Ever.
The Blue Ribbons – Magdalena
Here’s a take of The Blue Ribbons performing Magdalena for a live audience in Studio A, no gimmicks necessary thanks to a beautiful real time video production by Gipsy Pixel. With one fluid performance, the Blue Ribbons rip on through with a rare and composed energy, recorded and mixed by one of our senior engineers, Matt Beaudoin.
Barricades – Living in a Bubble (RT)
Barricades slipped into Q for a Converse Rubber Tracks session in the first week we hosted the pop up studio in Studio A. Poppy, powerful, fantastic vocals, and great guitars sounds. Converse’s Aaron Bastinelli came down from Brooklyn for the first week and engineered and mixed this one.
Brother & Co. – Unknow You (BC)
Joe Tooley recorded and mixed this full length from locals Brother & Co. The band is led by Josh Pritchard of Ruin/Renewal. Unknow You is often quiet, introspective, alternative/Americana sounding tunes with whispery vocals, expansive drums, and textured guitars. Did we mention heartache? There’s some of that too.
The band features a stellar rhythm section: Andy Plaisted on drums and Dave Westner on bass.
Color Channel – Out of Breath (RT)
Color Channel recorded this funky hazy tune with Matt Beaudoin in Studio A as part of the Converse Rubber Tracks sessions. Great bass, awesome vocals, and tight drumming.
