This is one of my favourite songs on this album I did for Stomp Records. LKFM ex members all came by the studio in Tijuana to introduce themselves and say hi which speaks volumes to the quality of the people who have been involved with the group. Drummer Hecky is an outstanding engineer in his own right and very helpful on those sessions. Great people, great food and awesome band. I even got to play guitar with them a little at some of the biggest shows I’ve played outside of Canada.

I’m enjoying using this Aurora Audio sidecar. Built by Geoff Tanner. More eq that works than any other desk I’ve used. I also have four more with 1073 eq’s and 8 with Trident eq’s. Loads of flavours to choose from.

The amount of work that goes into refurbishing a 100 year old barn into a recording studio is unbelievable. From removing old dead chickens from the walls and hauling tons of packed manure by hand to designing a floating floor and acoustic testing. Still got a ways to go but it sounds incredible. I still have a few months of work but we have already made some stunning recordings in the building.
It’s a labour of love and I can’t wait until my producer friends get a chance to use it.
Happy studio building everyone.

Six weeks to record, second longest tracking session at Crabappledowns1. Written from scratch by everyone in the band, myself and Randall Steffes the sound guy. The town of Nanton still has scars from their stay. Well over a million listens on different platforms all added up.

Here I upload the latest CD by the band The Real Mckenzies. They are a Canadian Celtic punk band founded in 1992 and based in Vancouver, British Columbia.In ...

This is as punk as it gets. Work fast and capture the spontaneity. You can hear the raging in the songs and there’s not a pretentious moment. Ducking eh.

We have all the structural issues solved and Sasha has raised the corner where the chicken coop had been. Built a retaining wall and started the floating floor build. That includes 1200 cubic feet of sand. Most of the nasty clean up is done and it was epic. That includes 4 skinny chickens, 1 kitten skeleton, and remarkably only 3 dead mice. Seems they run in threes. This is my fifth studio build and I’m trying hard to learn from my mistakes. Thankful for good help.

This S**ttalkers Ep is getting great reviews. I’m a proud poppa.

Aristotle once quipped that "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" So In this case when you combine each individual song to create one album and the individual parts or properties are combined per se, they create something that is more valuable, meaningful, or perfect than any of the parts alone LOL philosophy applied to punk rock CHECKA CHECKA IT OUT.........
Murray Action got a prerelease listen and gave us this review published in the Absolute Underground April issue!!
"S**t Talkers – Quack
Independent.
"I've seen the S**t Talkers live a few times. They're funny, they kick ass, and they connect with their audience very effectively. Their soon to be released album Quack was recorded by Steve Loree at Iron Dick Studios in Princeton BC, and mastered at the Wreckhouse in Toronto. The first song on it “put a collar on it” will be digitally released on April 1st with the rest of the album following later in the month. It is apparently a story told by Dirty Kurt (the Real Mckenzies, SNFU, etc...) about being pestered by Paul Mckenzie. If you have ever met Dirty Kurt you probably know he likes to tell fishing stories. I can identify with that because I love to tell fishing stories. Anyways, It's a great album. The singing on it is great and it has a bunch of quality songs. Put a collar on it is a ripping punk rock tune similar to something Nashville P***y Might play, then a few songs later is Phone Phone Phone and it sounds like it could be on Frank Zappa's album Freekout. They finish it off with my favorite track, “walk of shame”. There isn't room for me to tell you why I like it so much but what the hell do I know anyway, go buy it and decide for yourself."

Congratulations to Moose on this release. He’s a courageous writer and story teller. Cool to work with him on this.

Just home from mixing a few shows in Mexico. Super fun working with the local crew and making the gig happen. Safety first as you know so don’t ever play a gig on the beach in Mexico without rubber soled shoes or flip flops. We had zero electrical ground so if the polarity isn’t right and the singer has fillings we wouldn’t need a light show. Jr Cadillac from the Seattle area have been together for 53 years and it was an honour to be asked to do the gig. Glad no one died though.

Well that was a big year. Exhausting and exhilarating to say the the least.
I had done a record for Jr Gone Wild so we had to do all that stuff. Touring and touring and signing babies. The summer festival season was really busy and our new production company “ Flip Flop Audio” was started with my friend Scott Franchuk. On top of all that I undertook a major renovation and moved my studio to. a beautiful location west of Nanton and refurbished a 100 year old farm house.
I upgraded my entire studio to Aurora Audio microphone preamps and eq’s and sold every compressor I ever bought and replaced them with various US boutique built units. All ear candy.
My studio sounds incredible these days and I’m really enjoying the records we’re making here.
I’m tired but raring to go in the New Year.
It is important to acknowledge the losses we took this year in beautiful people, family and friends. I’m not going to let those people down and will do what I can to live my best life in the years to come.
Peace and love to all. Happy New Year.
Let’s make some music.
Steve
