Rocker Studios

Been here for over 6 years, and I am going to miss it like my own home.
This has been my studio home for longer than any other place I have ever had besides my parents garage.
I am so sad to see it close down. The sense of community here is top notch. Everybody helped each other when we needed it, and shared plenty of laughs and extend-​o jams in the middle of the night.
Yeah it’s dirty, filthy even. Graffiti on the walls, trash on the floor, burned out cigarette butts everywhere, bathrooms that were a step away from hell, but dammit, I love this place, and I am sad to have to say good bye and move out from the space I have made so much music in over the past 6 years.
Thanks to John Rocker for allowing this place to live in it’s own existence without too many terrible problems.
*sigh*

Just got the call yesterday that the studios are closing.
Gonna miss that room.

my band was here for only one month because it was so bad.
it’s not sound proofed. at all. we couldn’t speak in at a normal level, let alone record, if the band next door was playing. rent was $ 300/​month for a 12’x 10′ room shared with another band. the room was dead-​bolted and had a barred door but there was a reason it needed it. you also need a key for the bathroom so you think it would keep it clean… but nope! a rat or a mouse (we never saw it) ate one of our cords and nibbled on the x-​mas lights.
after a crackhead kicked at our door on and off for 15 minutes, we knew this place was not for us. if you’re into the whole ‘heroin is cool let’s play in a super noisy band’, this is your mecca.
