my bloody valentine fronted by an unpolished ben harper and an unpolished, sexier mareen tucker, playing some grunge, some country, but mostly pop, thats kinda what someone said, i dont know you tell us.
"I guess there’s more to Minneapolis than bridges falling down. This group looks like a bunch of neo hippies, but they are more informed by Velvet Underground even if they are covering David Grisman, Malvina Reynolds and Rodgers and Hammerstein. Smart, young rockers that feel free to mixmaster influences from where ever it suits them into a youthful, joyful noise that seems designed as a defense to long, cold winters. Alt.underground all the way done right." - MidwesRecord.com

Lots of great bands have come through Signaturetone recently, and we've helped unleash some spectacular new records from a bunch of genres. Check these artists out and support local music!
Let us give you the record you've always wanted but thought you wouldn't be able to get without mortgaging your home (again). Indie rock to alt country to extreme grind to free jazz, we've got the tape and tubes all warmed up for you.
Spring is seeing Signaturetone in full swing with a slew of great local and out of town acts coming in. If you’re thinking about recording, now’s the time to take those tax rebates and stimulus checks and invest in a quality disc. We’ll make make you look good at the merch table and for record labels - ask about our great spring and summer rates. We’re also excited to offer some great deals on live recording. Find out how we can deliver a great fully mixed and mastered disc of your next show for a terrific price!
New additions to our mighty gear list include the API 2500 stereo compressor, which gives us a complete API signal chain of pre’s, eq’s, compressors, console, and mastering compressor! Our vintage blackface Urei LA-3A and LA-4 also have arrived and are smoothing records out as we speak. We’ve also acquired a Roccaforte Custom 18 head, a Fender Princeton '64 blackface, and a Soldano 4x12, an insanely punchy cabinet. Guitar players be notified – we’ve got toys! And for kids of all ages, our 6000+ game arcade machine has been installed and is distracting us to no end as well.
Making your projects better at any phase for any budget!
Attn: bands - this is an open invite to anyone to come take a look at our new studio digs! Chances are I'll have a beer and some tunes for you to chill to while you check out our huge gear collection and 1100 sq ft drum tracking room. We're here for you guys, let's make some kick ass music just in time for the spring barbeque season.
Also, I just renovated my samples, now featuring the remixed latest by southern rockslaves Bastard Saint and a great new Radiohead meets Leonard Cohen track by my new band The Sextons. Check in here for some big stuff coming from sex rock heroes 20 Dollar Love and the supergrinders A Second From The Surface in the very near future. In addition, the studio just acquired a new Diezel Einstein and man does it smoke - Mesa and 5150s beware…
Any project at any stage of the process can benefit from time with our classic gear selection and large tracking room. Tape fiends take note of our 2" 24 track and 1" 2 track tape machines and huge gear list. Come check out samples of our work and ask us about a studio tour!
