10 albums produced by Howard Benson that deserve more recognition

Great round up by Scott Waldman! We see some of our old favorites on here 🤘 Do you agree? What albums would you have picked?

You may or may not know this, but producer/songwriter Howard Benson was likely behind the boards for at least one of your favorite albums of all time. Want proof? Monster breakout records by My Chemical Romance (Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge), the All-American Rejects (Move Along) and even Daughtry...

Why are we recording AC/DC note for note?? It’s for an upcoming thing w/ Fil and the guys at . TOmmY Henriksen is involved. Mike Plotnikoff gettin the sounds, Drumfetish providing the gear, and me, with the headphone hair😜. Tell you what...I’ve heard/played these songs forever. But when you have to actually learn them the right way with all the correct little things, you realize how brilliant these arrangements and parts are. I especially love “For Those About To Rock...”. It’s a Phil Rudd masterpiece! ⚡️
