The Blasting Room is arecording studio inFort Collins, Colorado. Founded by members of thepunk rock bandAll in 1994, it is owned and operated by musicianBill Stevenson (Descendents,Black Flag, All,Only Crime) and Jason Livermore. The studio is known for recording and producing many punk rock bands, with Stevenson and Livermore serving as in-houseaudio engineers andrecord producers.[2][3]
In July 1994, the members of All relocated fromBrookfield, Missouri to Fort Collins.[4] Using money from their recent recording contract withInterscope Records, they designed and began construction of The Blasting Room with the help of guitaristStephen Egerton's father, Dan O'Reilly.[4] The studio opened four months later, featuring a two-inch analog 24-track tape machine, amixing console manufactured bySolid State Logic, and a variety ofoutboard gear.[4] The 4,000 square foot facility includes three recording studios: Studio A, the largest, features threeisolation booths; The smaller Studio B has a separate control room; Studio C is amixing and editing suite.[5][6]

Brandt.[4] The Blasting Room also features a lounge, kitchen, and two bedrooms available to visiting artists.[5] In addition to production, engineering, and mixing, the studio also offersaudio mastering services done by Livermore.[5]
