Armoury Studios

Amazing layout and acoustics. Small, but full of charm. Despite the odd Nickelback album hanging on the wall, it’s still a fantastic studio.

Armoury Studios is such a beautiful place. The studios were designed and constructed in the early 90s and has a feel of an in-​home studio with it’s amenities. If I was a rock star, this is where I’d want to record. Apparently, I’m not the only one who thinks so; AC/​DC, Aerosmith, The Cranberries, and Nickelback are just some of the bands that have their awards hanging on the walls of their album’s birthplace.
Unfortunately, my review won’t be in the direction of Armoury Studios’ intended usage, but rather as a music venue. I was fortunate enough to win tickets to last night’s Uninvited Guest with Three Days Grace through The Fox.
The show was an amazing acoustic set. The studio space has great sound and is a very intimate venue with about 50 people in the audience. It was well organized and everyone got personal time with Three Days Grace for autographs, pictures, and questions. If only every concert could be such an experience.
The only drawbacks were that once the set started, no one was permitted to leave the studio proper, so bathroom breaks had to be timed carefully and there’s no option for the audience to have refreshments in the studio. I understand the need for these requirements, but it’s what was missing to achieve perfection.
My experience at Armoury Studios was so stellar, that I will fight tooth and nail to see artists in my taste there. Watch out CFOX, I’ll be harassing you for entry into the next performance.
