Had a fun weekend tracking my friends in The Knot No Howz band.
Recording my favorite stoner punk band on 420 was a perfect way to spend the weekend.
Legends 💫

What record am I listening to today?
The new release by one of my favorite local bands
The Knot No Howz

Such fun jams. I love how this turned out for a live off the floor recording these guys did an amazing job.
I'm honestly so proud of these guys..

Want to know what happens when a group of people get together and smoke way too much w**d?
This is it.
This band currently holds the record for the most w**d consumed during any recording session I've ever been a part of.
We got so high we recorded an accordion in one of the songs. Yeah, I know right !!!

Great people and an awesome album.
Check them out please..
They are making noise and having fun doing it.🤘

Based on a Serafinski book with the same name, it's a commentary on concentration camp tactics and historical examples of humans putting their differences aside to resist fascism in hopeless circumstances.

“‘Do or die’ is not a call to succeed. It’s a desire to survive. It means that who I am is dead if I don’t try.”

Sup y'all?
Want to see the difference a mix engineer can do for your music?
Here is a track that is not professionally mixed.

https://theycallitchaos.bandcamp.com/track/big-bag-o-bags

This is a great band and originally decided to record & mix it themselves and release it a while back. (And I'm not knocking it, you got to do what you got to do. In fact it was a great first attempt. It's not that bad at all).

But then Then the band decided to get their tracks remixed. That's when they came to me. This is the track we ended up with after remixing. Same song and same files.

https://youtu.be/Tl_lHchnqxw

Have a listen and check out the differences.
I'm not saying come to me for your work, but I'd suggest to do some research, and find the right engineer for you and your band..
You owe it to yourselfs to feature your music the best way possible. I wanna see bands succeed.
Rock on.
Thanks for listening to my soapbox PSA
If you have any questions hit me up.

Thanks for your time!
Oh and please go like this band they're kicking ass.

Our first single, Bakunin's Boots, is now available on Spotify and pretty much any other streaming platform you want to listen on!

Unrelenting, unapologetic momentum inspired by 90s skate punk. This one is about questioning authority and navigating laws which aren't created for your benefit, so think for yourself! (But also, LIKE the song and FOLLOW us on Spotify please)
