'''London Bridge Studio''' is a recording studio near [[Seattle]] that has hosted and recorded many influential artists, producers and engineers since 1985. Founded by brothers [[Rick Parashar|Rick]] and Raj Parashar and now currently owned by producers Geoff Ott, Jonathan Plum, and Eric Lilavois. The space was designed by notable studio designer Geoff Turner (Little Mountain Studios, [[Pinewood Studios]]) and features {{convert|5000|sqft|m2}} of tall ceilings, hardwood floors, brick walls and live acoustics.<ref>[http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2002571723_londonbridge20.html "Recording Studio Revived" - discussion of space acoustics]</ref> Layout of the studio includes live rooms, a control room, overdub suites, and a lounge with full kitchen.

==History== Seattle's surge to musical prominence in the late 1980s and 1990s stemmed largely in part from albums recorded at London Bridge Studio. Bands of that era, such as [[Mother Love Bone]], [[Temple of the Dog]], [[Alice in Chains]], [[Soundgarden]] and [[Pearl Jam]], launched the studio into international notoriety. London Bridge continues to be a destination for artists of all genres.

The studio's iconic Neve 8048 console has been maintained and restored, alongside an added SSL AWS console, an expansive mic locker and outboard gear collection. London Bridge has also expanded into orchestral, video game and television audio recordings.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/television/2003446537_football27.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120717035546/http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/television/2003446537_football27.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=July 17, 2012|title=The Seattle Times | Local news, sports, business, politics, entertainment, travel, restaurants and opinion for Seattle and the Pacific Northwest}}</ref>
