Throwback Thursday: Kenny Vasoli discusses The Starting Line's "Island"

This week’s Throwback Thursday revisits Episode 165, originally released on July 24th, 2023, featuring Kenny Vasoli of The Starting Line. In this deep dive, Kenny unpacks the writing and recording of “Island,” the band’s highest-charting single from their 2007 album Direction. With producer Howard Benson helping to shape its sound, the song marked a distinct evolution for the group. Kenny shares a never-before-heard demo along with fascinating insight into a track that still resonates just as strongly today as it did upon release.
