Avast! Recording Company

'''Avast! Recording Company''' is a music recording studio in Seattle, Washington. It was established in 1990 by producer Stuart Hallerman, who was soundman for Soundgarden and involved in the grunge movement coming out of Seattle at the time. The first CD released by Avast! was Crime Pays When Pigs Die by Nate Mendel and Eric Akre's Christ on a Crutch project, and the company has since worked with a number of other artists, including Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, Built to Spill, Steve Fisk, Bikini Kill, and Supersuckers.

The so-called "Avast! Classic" studio, located at 1325 N 46th St., operated through 2008, and the present studio was set up in 2005 at 601 NW 80th St. and features two separate units: Studios A & B. The use of this building as a studio dates back to 1978, and some rooms are still as they originally were, while others have been modernized.
