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.

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.
Charlie Chesterman – Carolina Blue (BC)
The last studio recording by Charlie Chesterman was cut live in Studio A with a band of Charlie’s friends. The result is this lovely tune, Carolina Blue. Rafi and Pete Weiss engineered the recording, and Pete mixed it up in Verdant on his Neve. It appeared on a compilation called Solid Gold Electric Chestnut Dispenser, which is available here. Proceeds from sales of this song and record benefit the friends of Charlie Chesterman. Read about Charlie’s life here.
Das Muerte – EP2 (BC)
Joe Tooley recorded and mixed this assault of math-metal-rock. Odd time signatures, saturated heavy guitars, thundering double bass drum pounding, and screaming vocals that are a reminiscent of Mr. Bungle, and a little of Killing Joke. Studio A hasn’t sounded this angry in a minute.
Claws that Catch – Edward Weston b/w Texas
Claws that Catch tracked these two catchy pop tunes in Studio B in 2013.
