(watch the video below.)

Often Rob is asked about the path he took to get to the 20-year anniversary of Power Station Studios in Pompano Beach, Florida. What started out as a typical kid jumping up and down on his bed playing air guitar with a dream of a record deal and rock stardom turned into something quite different.

This began a pursuit that endured many twists and turns. Those twists and turns ultimately paved the road that led to Power Station Recording Studios.

A story of people, relationships, loyalty, and a mission statement:
“Failure Is Not An Option”…

What started with a passion for music then snowballed into a collision course of obstacles and opportunity and as Rob says, a large element of luck. This interview takes you down his path with a lot of Rob’s funny and interesting anecdotal stories and funny sayings.

For those of you who know Rob, you know that this will be interesting, funny as well as inspiring. However, be forewarned: adult language within!

We hope you enjoy this interview and feel free to comment below!

The post The Power Station Story with Rob Roy as the featured guest on “Digging In” with Matt Rosenthal. appeared first on Power Station Studios.

Is it a fruit? Is it a band? Is it a transforming mechanized battle robot from another planet? Well, they aren’t exactly sure but what we do know is that when this quartet comes together and plays it’s not something you want to miss. Based out of West Palm Beach Florida, Guavatron has been taking the southeast music circuit by storm with its smooth jams and hard-hitting peaks of musical ingenuity.

Guavatron is a four-piece band that has taken the attention of the South Florida music scene and is pushing that success worldwide. We’ve watched this band grow from working the local music scene to watching their digital reach quickly outgrowing regional boundaries.

We’ve had the pleasure to work with Guavatron for several years now. In a few days of this writing, Power Station and Guavatron will celebrate their sixth year anniversary of working together. While most traditional anniversaries celebrate milestones with different levels like flowers and jewelry, we hope this anniversary represents platinum! As in a platinum record award for this new release. (We’re making a spot on our walls as we write this!!!)

Building the fanbase.

Gaining a loyal fan base through local shows and pop-up campsite sets at festivals, they have as of late been making the way to the top of lineups and opening for national touring bands such as Aqueous, Particle, Perpetual Groove, and The Heavy Pets. With an emphasis on improvisation, Guavatron creates a fresh sound at every show while keeping their roots of dance, rock, electronica, and funk involved.

The band is made up of a unique cast of characters that together create an intergalactic groove that draws audiences from both near and far and uses their well-crafted live show to create a sense of unity and belonging amongst their audiences.

Guavatron’s music has an element that can be enjoyed by all. Their energy and well crafted songs paired with the element of surprise due to their amazing free-form jam abilities take audiences on a unique sonic journey in a way only Guavatron can do!

-Rob Roy, Producer & Mix Engineer for Power Station Studios

The ingredients of the Guavatron recipe:

The band we know is made up of four great guys which are always a blast to work with. From their consummate style of songwriting to clever lyrics and fun musical morsels that can fill even the most discerning appetites.

Holding the rhythm section down like concrete is Casey Luden on drums and vocals paired with Conor Crookham on bass.

Layering the music and vocals is Rodney Hansen on keyboards and Adonis Frangiskakis on guitar and vocals. Together these guys create the sonic vibes that can only be identified as Guavatron.

The post Release Notice: Guavatron drops 1st single, “Disco Shades” from their new album due out on April 28. appeared first on Power Station Studios.

Taylor Godsey, Michael Garulli, Daryl Wolff, Peter Krause & Ali Nassar, are the ingredients for this awesome band we know collectively as, “TAND.”

This group of musicians defines themselves as “Rock Powerhouse” however, they have far more sonic dimension than just rock. The music from Tand takes you on a rollercoaster from rock, jazz, blues and slaps you silly with all the groove of a seasoned jam band – but with real carefully crafted songs.

Tand brings the trust of their first studio album to Power Station Studios.

One figures that it is hard enough to write songs encompassing a worthy EP. Tand crossed that hurdle with leaps and bounds. We figure it was harder for them to narrow the selections as they are amazing writers and musicians. After songs are selected to be included in a future release, the next decision is, “Where to record?”

After much research and experience, the choice for Tand was apparent where they would put their sonic trust for this release, “Puzzle Piece”. Power Station was the place to go!

Truth be told, Power Station has a deep history with several of the members of Tand. For one, Tand drummer, Ali Nassar is a premier go-to for Power Station when hiring a session drummer. Ali’s power and impeccable timing are always a winning combination for any session. Also, guitarist Michael Garulli has recorded several records here at Power Station. Records from his own successful touring band “The Heavy Pets”.

Beyond the familiar sounds of Mike on guitar and vocals and Ali’s drums, The Tand sound is the masterful culminating of Daryl Wolff’s keys – A huge staple in bringing vibe and layers to the Tand sound. Rounded out with Peter’s melodic yet rock-solid bottom end, topped with Taylor’s guitars and vocals, This Tand EP is one not to miss!

Power Station was not only honored but humbled that Daryl, Taylor, Mike, Ali, and Peter put their faith into our studio to make this amazing release become the reality it so deserved.

Recorded and mixed by our Chief Engineer, Paul Kronk, and mastered by Calbi/Fallone at Sterling Sound, this is a sonic masterpiece you don’t want to pass up!
