## Resource

Some bands never get the recognition they deserve. Bottom Line were one of them. We were always fans. We followed this band through the early 2000s, watching them build something real, and waited on a record made with legendary producer John Feldmann that simply... never came out. In this episode, we finally get the answers we’ve been waiting for. Benjamin James Howard joins the show for a candid, no-holds-barred walk through those years. The sessions, the stories, the industry, and the album that got away. It's raw, it's honest, and is a conversation we loved. This is exactly why we make this podcast. Bottom Line recently released a 20th anniversary edition of their fantastic 2005 record ‘Eloquence’. If you have not heard this, check it out now! Sponsored by Local Menace Apparell.
