Garage Songs Win Professional Cut and Polish
A batch of Intercooler songs recorded between jobs at the soon-to-be-legendary Easy Tape Studios have won a professional cut and shine.
The prize sees renowned producer Nick DiDia apply his world-famous finishing technique, using imported US elbow grease and extremely rare ear wax to bring the raw tracks up to showroom condition.
Intercooler singer Phil Ballantyne says the band couldn’t believe their luck. “Nick’s done an unbelievable job - used this stuff on heaps of songs you would have heard. We’ve actually had to dull track four down a bit. It was upsetting aircraft.”
Competition organisers have congratulated the band but warned them not to get ahead of themselves, citing “early signs of head swelling.”
