The Main Sequence
DirtClodFight has been around for quite a while and is a much respected band among the punk genre. Moving through a few lineup changes, they have stayed busy and creative over the years and have morphed or better yet, have evolved into what their current offering is. Phil Merwin is one of the constants of…

Pretty stoked for the reissue of the YOB classic “Catharsis” remastered here at Witch Ape Studio. Here is a quote in Invisible Oranges. “Reissue the out-of-print Catharsis for its tenth anniversary.

There are a few things happening around here. Firstly, tracking and mixing is done for the CALIGULA record, and words cannot express how much I love this band. We just finished up the Caligula mixes a couple of nights ago here at Witch Ape Studio. You have no idea how killer this record is going…
Read MoreAcoustic drums
I am from the school of thought that a snare drum should have a serious crack to the attack and a good throaty girth that seems to live in the low-mids.
