Two of the shows I went to, and the rest I wish I did. Includes everything from ‘underground’ through Smashing Pumpkins and spans New Jersey, Brazil, Dublin, Barcelona, and more. (25 photos total)

The building used to be a bank. But in December, 2004, when I first met Chris Dinardo, the sign on its door read “SMR Studios.” Chris, and two of his hard-rock bandmates, from DownNeck had opened the rehearsal-recording space there in Garfield, NJ and were running their own label, Saturday Morning Records.
