Neon Trees Strike Gold!

Neon Trees are a band on a roll.  Right after the release of their eagerly awaited sophomore album "Picture Show" the band already hit gold with their super catchy single "Everybody Talks" and we couldn't be more excited. Mastered at The Lodge, "Picture Show" was produced by Justin Meldal-Johnsen (M83) and was mixed by Billy Bush (The Naked & Famous, The Subways, Garbage,) at Red Razor Studios in Glendale, CA.

Neon Trees formed in Utah in 2005 by lead vocalist Tyler Glenn and guitarist Chris Allen. They were first noticed by Ronnie Vannucci of The Killers (side note: Vannucci recently mastered his solo album at The Lodge titled Big Talk) and helped them get signed to Mercury Records in 2008.  They eventually released their debut full length album "Habits" in 2010 and the album's lead single "Animal" went double platinum, reaching #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and an instant radio hit.

With "Picture Show" the band has managed to create an album loaded with the catchiest foot tapping synth hooks pop music could possibly ask for (featuring collaborations Kaskade).  The album debuted at #17 on Billboard Top 200 Albums and "Everybody Talks" is currently #9 on Billboard's Alternative Top 20 Songs. Amazing!

Garbage Master First Release In 7 Years With The Lodge

After a 7 year hiatus, 90's alt rockers Garbage are set to release their first studio album since 2005 titled "Not Your Kind of People" on May 15th, 2012. Garbage drummer/legendary Grammy nominated producer Butch Vig (Foo Fighters, Green Day, Nirvana) produced the album with the band and mixed it with Billy Bush.  The album was mastered by Emily Lazar and her team at The Lodge!

In an interview with Rolling Stone in October, Butch Vig explained, "We got together with no agenda other than to just jam a little bit, f--- around and see what we came up with, and it was inspiring. I think you can hear some energy and a vibe in the tracks that sounds refreshing, a little bit more to me like the first two records."

Garbage launched their own record label STUNVOLUME in anticipation of the release and plan on a massive tour featuring dates across North America and Europe. The band just released a video for their first single "Blood for Poppies" which you can watch below. Enjoy!
