"...I had an awesome time! Can I move in? You guys rule!"
-Engineer (AC/DC, Metallica, G3)
"What can I say about the Armoury? My home away from home...simply the best studio I've ever worked in! They have everything you need to make great sounding records, and if they don't, they'll bring it in. A place where germophobes and clean freaks like me feel comfortable, yet they're not afraid to let their hair down and party their asses off! And, the best part is the staff. They do everything in their power to make the recording process an awesome experience! The Armoury rocks!"
-Producer/Artist/Songwriter (DDT, Closure, Hedley, Hinder)
