The foundation of 60 Cycle Hum was laid in 2004 when Walt Staszewski, John Edwards, and Justin Karpinos began working up original songs based on some material that Walt had developed. Their goal was to create music that blends diverse guitar tones and styles with a focus on dynamics that reflect their variety of influences. The songs were finished, but the band was struggling to find the caliber of drummer that they wanted.
After several unsuccessful attempts to find a suitable drummer, they decided that in order to continue the process of musical growth for the band they would record their first album without a drummer. The recording process began at Walt's home studio. Using a drum machine for the percussion parts, they began to record tracks for what would eventually become their debut album, a seven song CD called AA Heartache. Additional recording and the mixing/mastering of the album took place over six days at First Street Studio in Cleveland, Tennessee. With the release of the album in late 2005, the band has enjoyed some success as the songs 'Forgotten', 'Open' and 'Argentine' have all received regular airplay on local rock and college radio. Throughout 2006, the band performed regularly and worked on enhancing their live show. This focus ultimately resulted in a new rhythm section, comprised of percussionist Greg Hopkins and bassist Zach Hutcherson who stepped in to compliment and complete the band's sound. With the lineup solidified, 60 Cycle Hum continued to play shows, increase their fanbase and work on new material. 60 Cycle Hum signed with Rail Nine Records in December of 2006 and are planning to return to the studio in early 2007 and begin recording for their first release on the Rail Nine Label.
All of the members of 60 Cycle Hum come from different musical backgrounds, but united with a common vision, they have created a sound that is at once fresh and familiar and will appeal to fans of guitar driven alt-rock music.
The band is based out of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

We just picked up some new mastering speakers and would like to put them to the test.
We are going to give out FREE mastering sessions. Feel free to submit 1 song for our consideration and if we accept the work we will notify you before we start work on your song.
Each song will take approximately 1 day so please give us some time to complete the work.
What should you send?
This is the most important part.
1. No crappy recordings. If it sounds bad to start with I cannot help. The recording must be commercial quality.
2. There must not be ANY compression or LIMITING on the final mix. If you do not know what this is then talk to the engineer that did the work. If he does not know what that is then call me. Your mix should be very very bouncy and it should NOT go into the RED at any point. Distortion in the overall mix is Baaaaaaaaaaad.
3. I will not accept MP3's. This is one of the worst formats to work in and the sound quality is terrible. Regardless of how much it is used it is bad. Trust me. We need either a WAVE or a AIF file. Not an MP3 that has been converted BACK into a better file but a file that started out as a WAVE or AIF and is still that format.
4. Feel free to ZIP the file to save space.
5. If you cannot email your file I can give you some alternatives ways to send me the songs.
6. I need your honest feedback after the work is done. Not "It will work" or "it sounds ok". I need feedback. Mastering is an art and I have been doing it for 25 years. I appreciate feedback and I like working with new artist and new genres of music.
If you are interested just send me your info and music to kctt@mac.com
All the LOVE.
Bob
