Grime Studios offers cheap/affordable band rehearsal space/art studios with 24 hour access. It exists for bands and artists of any other craft to create whatever they want, as loud as they want, whenever they want.
Located at 27 Thompson's Point Rd, in Portland Maine (in the same building that was "Prime"), it is directly off of 295, close to downtown Portland, and is less than a 2 minute walk from the Portland Transportation Center (PTC), which offers access to the city bus, Boston/Bangor/Midcoast bus services. Amtrak also offers service to several points between Portland and Boston, as well as up to Freeport and Brunswick from the PTC.
Grime is also located within a 5-minute drive of Buckdancer's Choice, which is generally considered to be the best music store north of Boston.
