I recently stopped in at Astoria SoundWorks Studios to hang out with Alex (a.k.a. Lynxx Hrtz) and the guys of Cracked Alice during a recent rehearsal. A huge honor! Anytime a band is willing to let us into their private sessions we take that very seriously. I was there for about 2 hours and got to hear the band play some of their older stuff as well as some new material slated to be on their next CD, for which recording begins this week. Both Alex and Matthew Paul, lead singer/guitarist, traded the two prototypes I brought back and forth and compared notes (pun?). It was amazing to watch them methodically work through a variety of song types to find where the instruments had their strongest and weakest points.
Here are a few shots of Alex, Matt, Stan & Luis as they do what they do best:
