UHW Studio

Gern f. built The UHW Studio around the production of Broken Trucks and Bottles, the debut album of his band, The United Steel Workers of Montreal. Having faced the difficulty of finding affordable, productive recording time in a studio, when building his own studio, Gern’s aim was to provide the same recording opportunities for other local, independent bands that he was creating for himself and The USWM. Since then, a number of successful recording projects have been launched out of the UHW Studio by many of the same Montreal bands The USWM has played alongside in the Montreal music scene.
