Chad Wells

As an example, in the spring of 2014, Brian Olive produced the new album Diamonds for a Dayton, Ohio band called Cricketbows.  The band's vocalist and guitarist Chad Wells says of him:  “Brian Olive was an amazing guy to work with.  He didn’t try to push us to be something that we’re not and whenever we’d start to glide into a direction that felt insincere, he’d pull us back.  He was more interested in getting a great, truthful performance out of us – warts and all – than trying to polish us or do a bunch of takes to achieve some manufactured perfection.”
