Harley Fine
A mix of modern and vintage sounds with some genre bending here and there. Psychedelic at times and alternative at others. Some call it Garage Rock.

Pre sex offender Gary Glitter meets Quiet Riot in this future Garage Band Classic
I am the product of the tough streets of NYC and have the kind of education you can only get here. I'm loud, literate with a mess of influences. I have researched and studied the "Golden Age" of music songwriting, and production techniques from the '40s through the '70s. So I have the ability to draw from a s**tload of styles and influences. At the same time I don't like to stray too far
from psychedelic and brit rock as a base of operations. I think it gets confusing to an audience if an artist is all over the map.Band/artist history
I started out playing in bands and recording band demos in rehearsal rooms for friends. Then I wrote, played, and co-produced my own cd's. In 2005 I started recording and producing projects in my home studio. When that got too busy, I took a partnership in a recording studio in Long Island City. My part of the studio was called Zeroville, and I stayed there until 2007 engineering for dozens of bands. During this time I worked on the projects listed below. In 2008 I moved to work in another studio in Williamsburg, Brooklyn at Metrosonic Studios.I was there for 18 months and decided that I need to be on my own so I move to upper manhattan where I continue to record produce and mix for a variety of artists as well as my own material.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes around the New York Tri=State area. Up until recently I played rhythm guitar with Tuff Darts [one of the original early l CBGB's bands from the 70's]
The club was totally packed and standing in front of the stage singing every lyric to these 30 year old songs was one of the opening bands [they were in their late teens at best!]
It was an amazing and powerful moment for me.
