Boo City – Anchortown EP

New from Boo City is an amazing compilation of 5 tunes recorded at three different studios on the East coast. Sweeteness was mainly recorded and mixed here at the Rocktorium, and additionally, some horn tracks for some other tunes were recorded here to take advantage of the room’s great warm sound, captured by vintage ribbon mics. Boo City is a terrific band, and put on amazing live shows throughout the New England/ New York area. This wonderful project is available here.

Layback

After disbanding the very fun reggae/rock band (and former Rocktorium clients) The Rudeness, several of the members weren’t quite ready to give up the course that the band had set. After adding several new, very talented members, these tunes are the next wave of gems from gifted writer/singer Jonny Safford and the crew.

Ted Stevens Band- Dead End Dragstrip

A great new record ready for release, Dead End Dragstrip was recorded in a just a few days, and during a hurricane that knocked out power for weeks, but mercifully spared an approximate 1/4 mile circle around the Rocktorium. It is always a lot of fun to work with Teddy and the boys, and this record was no exception. Proud to be a pioneer in the new genre of “Hurricane Rock”. Check them out all over Florida, and periodically, in Rhode Island.

Scotty Don’t – Scars

I’m not sure how I let this one slip by without posting it, but here is a single by Scotty Don’t, mixed here at the Rocktorium of Love this past fall. Always a fun band to work with. I’ll admit, my favorite part is the Sam the Sham style organ parts.
Enjoy, and find the band all over the country, and at Scottydont.com
