New Releases from Bang-A-Song: July/August 2013
We Are Good Friends from Los Angeles have released their debut long player, nearly half of which was mixed at Bang-A-Song. I think it could it could be fairly described as psychotelecate.
Introducing Warren Babson
Warren is a Gloucester native who’s been working out of Manhattan for the last five years. Though living back home on the island he’s still engineering in and for NYC and its recording stars, but has begun bumping at Bang-A-Song when not printing vocal stems on his home rig. We’re happy to have him.

It’s official! Jen Morrison is Bang-A-Song’s first staff engineer.
