## Resource

After a QUICK five years since his last appearance on the show, Punchline’s Steve Soboslai sits in this week to discuss the writing and recording of the band’s fan favorite 2004 single “Heart Transplant.” Written from a real place of young heartbreak, the song has remained a live set constant decades after it was penned on the band’s first full US tour. Produced by Sean O’Keefe, the recording has stood the test of time, capturing an energy and enthusiasm of a band feeling the moment. Tune in for a fun and honest look back at what fans of the band would consider the ultimate Punchline classic track.
