Benjamin James Howard (Bottom Line)
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.

Hot on the heels of their latest album Eternal Youth, Kenny Vasoli joins the podcast for a brilliant conversation about life in The Starting Line in 2026. Kenny takes us through the band's history coming up on Drive Thru Records, what it was like working with producer Howard Benson, and how he reacted when Taylor Swift name dropped them in a song. In the intro, Chris and Nick dig into new music from WALWIN and Sleeping With Sirens. And after Militarie Gun's stunning Tiny Desk performance got them talking, they both reflect on their favourite acoustic performances — including an unforgettable night they shared with Unwritten Law.

Rae Brazil (Artio)
The Wasting Time Podcast is joined by Rae Brazil, vocalist of Leeds alt-rock outfit Artio, to talk all things Soul Rot — the band's sophomore album, released January 21st via LAB Records. Rae talks about how the album came together, what it means to make a truly intentional body of work in an era that demands content over craft, and why listeners should experience Soul Rot front to back rather than on shuffle. And because no conversation with Rae would be complete without it — they get into their love of Tolkien, and what Middle-earth means to them. Plus, in the intro, Chris and Nick discuss new music from Super Sometimes, Grade 2, and Good Riddance.
