Fastlane – Eyes Closed
This video is of Fastlane and “Eyes Closed” from their album “New Start”. Recorded at Premier it went on to sell over 14,000 copies. Gary, the drummer with Fastlane, had a “Drum Workshop” kit which had a note written in every drum. I tuned all his skins to the notes listed in the drums before recording. It took a while!

Viking Skulls – Frostbite
This video is of Viking Skulls “Frostbite” from their Chapter One E.P. The drums, guitars & bass were all recorded live, at Premier, & then Roddy overdubbed his vocals. The whole E.P. was recorded & mixed in 2 days! Recording costs of £500. Not bad for an E.P. which sold over 10,000 copies in the U.K. & has been on the front cover of every “Metal Hammer” mag in the world.

Arch Stanton – Final Curse
The video below is Arch Stanton’s “Final Curse”. The vocals on this track were recorded with a handheld mic, with no headphones, and the track blasted through a big P.A.
Many singers don’t like using headphones. They are so used to gigging or rehearsing with a handheld mic, that they feel uncomfortable standing away from a big studio mic & wearing headphones.
