This is our penultimate guest list for 2017. If you missed it, so far we have had guest lists from Mimi Vacancy (The Vacancy), Elise (Skinny Daisies), Nikki Roberts (Locals Only) and Deanna Belos (Sincere Engineer). Keep your eyes open for one more guest list, my list of the top EPs and other releases of 2017 and the results from Change the Rotation's best albums of the year bracket. Today's guest list comes from Chris DeQuick of Chris DeQuick Productions. Do you have a band looking to record some tunes? Chris is recording at Atlas Studios now (yes, that Atlas Studios). He recently mastered the new Bombflower album, Bleed Me Out. Find out more about Chris DeQuick Productions over at Facebook. Chris also handles sound for the Friskie Morris Sessions podcast.
