   About The Milkhouse Recording Studio

Milkhouse Summer Contest

We had a lot of fun with the Free Session Giveaway last Winter, so we decided to raise the stakes and change the rules a bit. Instead of a random drawing, this time we'll be picking our favorite band - and instead of one free day - we're giving away three full days to the winner (Enough to record a legit EP). In addition to the free sessions, we'll also be offering a discount on studio time to anyone that signs up. So go for it...

Fields marked (*) are required. If you seriously don't have a Myspace, just type "N/A"

(If You get an Urgent Security Alert message and clicking "Yes, I'll Continue Anyway" doesn't work, just click "NO, CANCEL my button click" and hit "Submit" on the form again. If that still doesn't work (we hate the internet, too) just send an email with the required information to booking@themilkhouse.com with the subject "MILKHOUSE MAILING")

About Us

The Milkhouse is a recording studio located in Allston, Massachusetts. We tend to work mostly with indie rock and alt-country artists, but we've also recorded a bunch of bands that don't fit those archetypes. Basically, The Milkhouse is about recording music in a way that feels good. It's a studio where musicians get more attention than microphones, and nobody watches the clock during a smoke break. Our clients don't come to us for the gear, they come because they know we care about making great records.

look who..s famous... I was sitting in japan reading rolling stone and happened to notice TAB the band:s record got three and a half stars. must mean it sounds pretty good... someday when you:re both winning grammys and doing studio groupies (we:ll pretend they exist) I can say to my friends "I moved microphones and rode tricycles with those guys." Congratulations, hope you..re staying busy. sorry for the typos.
