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.

Karmin – Didn’t Know You
Karmin brings a sassy and incredibly dynamic live arrangement of her song “Didn’t Know You” into Q Division’s very own Studio A. Also, looks like she brought her pooch; who’s a good dog?
Andrea Gillis – Hold Your Maker/Chopping the Tree
Hey, look! It’s two brand new tunes from Andrea Gillis! With husband Marc Pinansky on drums, James Rohr on nutty keys, Mike Castellana on guitars, Ed V bassing and producing, and Pat “Denzel” Dicenso engineering, these two tracks showcase two sides of Gillis you’ve probably heard around town for the last 15 years.
David Duchovny – Hell or Highwater
Singer/Songwriter and actor David Duchovny dips into Q Division for the recording of one of his lyric videos, “Hell or Highwater.” With production assistance by Colin Lee, David combines elements of folk rock and country to blend together a polished sound that is both unique and nostalgic, supported by a talented backing band in Studio A.
The Ballroom Thieves & MYRO – Archers
Live from Studio A, under the meticulously watchful ears of Matt Baudoin, comes this great performance of the song Archers by The Ballroom Thieves and the Maine Youth Rock Orchestra. Really fun watching this large ensemble fill Studio A, hearing Matt’s recording and (rough!) mix of this track, knowing it was all captured within the span of a few hours (under the auspices of a Rubber Tracks session).
