’The Studio’s In The City’ celebrates 10th anniversary, rebrands as Homesurgery Recordings

The Studio’s In The City in Brunswick, Melbourne, is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.

The studio was founded in 2007 by producer and founding Shihad member Tom Larkin, who has remained at the helm for the full decade.

“I founded the studio’s in 2007 when I happened upon a project studio for long term rent – I moved a ramshackle amount of equipment in there and began work straight away on the debut album for a band called Young & Restless, that record went on to win a J award for Unearthed Album Of The Year,” said Larkin.

Additionally, the iconic studio has undergone an upgrade to the API 1608 console, and a subsequent rebrand that will see it be called Homesurgery Recordings from now on.

“We have now arrived at a point where that manifesto now flows through the whole studio, it made sense to refocus the team and the studio under the ‘Homesurgery’ banner,” said Larkin.

“Its a name that speaks to both the our collective respect for craft and detail, through to the ethos of providing a comfortable. relaxed and creative environment around the artist.”

Artists to have recorded top charting records in the studio’s 10 year history include Calling All Cars, Young And The Restless, Villainy, High Tension, Northeast Party House, The Getaway Plan and The VANNS.

It has also seen a plethora of top producers grace its walls down the years, including Matt Lovell, Jaz Coleman and Kurt Ballou.
