Into Dust Before I Fall...
2002
Favorite tracks: Irreversible, Everyone and Everything
Sleeper tracks: Ransom Diaries
This band was a client of ours at Oarfin. They came in as an independent band that was working with local producer/client of the studio. They did 4 songs and they were really great pop/rock tunes that had a bit of an edge. I recorded bass, guitars and vocals for all 4 songs.
During the session, Will.I.Am from The Black Eyed Peas booked a night to mix in Studio A. He was doing a remix version of the Sting and Mary J Blige tune that was popular back then (don't ask me the title). Quietdrive was working in studio B with me and their producer Matt. The studio manager had asked Will if he wanted to meet a band working in the other studio. He said yes and came over. We were doing overdubs or vocals and had a few tunes ready to play for him. He came in and sat down while I played the songs. He was impressed and wanted to talk to his label about the band. That started a relationship with the band and Will. They eventually got signed and put out several albums since they 'made it big'. I never got into their new style but I was proud of them for having a taste of making it.
