Information

The Hall Of Justice is a recording studio in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The triangular-shaped building, which has changed ownership and purpose throughout its century-old history, has functioned as a studio for rock bands since the 1970s. The windowless, unassuming space has been home to the recordings of albums by seminal indie rock bands, including Nirvana, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Death Cab For Cutie, Fleet Foxes, The Decemberists, Sleater-Kinney, Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, and more. Originally a produce stand, the building was first opened as a studio under the name Triangle Recording between 1976 and 1986. Later, the studio first became popularly known as a partial birthplace of grunge, with countless early acts of the genre utilizing the space, then widely known as Reciprocal Recording (1986-91). After several years as John & Stu's, the studio has more or less been operated by musician and producer Chris Walla under its current name since 2000.
