The Holly House Project

In October of 1986, in one of countless rural regions of the Midwest; a small, vacant, turn-of-the-century house burned to the ground under mysterious circumstances. Locally known as The Holly House, it was said to be haunted and follow a gruesome history. It was frequently visited by generations of thrill-seekers in their youth, and its legend grew over time. The fire was deemed an act of vandalism.

In April of this year, a private paranormal research outfit began investigating the site based on its rumored past. Among their findings was a small collection of audio tape reels, some destroyed, but some only slightly damaged. Through an internet search their founder, Steve L.', discovered the High Noon Records website and contacted High Noon to inquire about restoring the tapes and deciphering their content.

Tape restoration has not been a service frequently offered by High Noon Records, so the request was unexpected. However, they have enthusiastically accepted the project request based on the premise alone.

The tape reels were received in mid-July, and the restoration process will begin immediately. They are in poor condition, so the process will be time-consuming. Stay tuned for updates.

More Than Your Everyday Studio


Dead End Ranch has now expanded to become, in addition to High Noon Records state of the art recording/production studio, yet another project of Akers and Innes.  More experimental than The Divine Sham and others, Dead End Ranch will work more with atmosphere and noise.  First on its agenda will be providing two tracks for the forthcoming                 Halloween at High Noon compilation, followed up by foley work for the Russell Flynn film, Elliott, to be released in the Fall of 2007.
