Allegheny City Sound Home base for audio engineer Alex Herd That summer, Ball Of Flame Shoot Fire asked me to help them record a new album.

Allegheny City Sound (formerly the Thunderbird House) started as a spot for my band to rehearse in early 2008 with no plumbing and pealing lead paint. Recording gear was added was added and without planning it, the House became a recording studio. Since that time it has served as a recording studio, a rehearsal space, at various times a temporary home, a green room, and a place for friends to part

y and hang out. Today, ACS is in a new 2000+ square foot space and is filled with new and vintage music and recording gear. Though most bands that record at ACS come through word of mouth and friends, if you see this an are interested in recording, please send me a message or email to [email protected]. I'd love to talk about your music and give you more information.

Very sorry to hear of the death of . He was truly a legend amongst legends.

One of the great and most surreal honors of my life was to do sound for him on his final tour. After the show I got several minutes alone with him backstage and he was extremely gracious and gladly told me some stories. I will never forget that day. Prayers for his family
