The Knocks Studio Session

Artist: The Knocks

RECAP:

I received a call from David Appleton at SBC this afternoon in need of a studio for their client The Knocks. We happened to have the studio open today due to a cancellation and managed to work their guys in for an 8-hour rental. I waited for Ben (1/2 The Knocks) to arrive and discussed what they would be doing and what they needed set up for their session. His plan was to write some new music and work with a writer (Germ) on new song ideas. I set up the 414 through our regular vocal chain and got them on the road. After leaving the studio I looked up the group and was really impressed by their work. If you want to listen to their music click here.
