Who Is Brendan O'Brien
Well for starters Brendan O'brien is the
Fellow who Mixes and Produces a large variety of bands. His work
is usually well known, yet it is hard to find info on him. If you
have any info. Please email I need
some info because he is relativley hard to find info about. The
reason I am doing this is because I am interested in the sound
engineering field and his work has stood out to me a lot over the
years. so here is a very small and roughly compiled list of his
work that is known to me I know there is more out there so add to
it. Thanks to Brendan L, Chris Caleo from "Torn &
Frayed" & Mike for their contribution.
