In brief, here's what we've been up to....

While we had a blast playing some thirty odd West Coast shows in 2004, it feels like we spent most of the year deep in our jam space cooking up new material: two albums worth, to be exact. The first, ‘you’rNext’ bends toward an experimental dreamscape of volumous feedback and hits the street via Small Stone Records on March 15, 2005. Click here for a review of 'you'rNext' by HellrideMusic.com. The second set, which we actually wrote first, is neck-thrashing riff-drenched metal and it looks like we're scheduled to record this April. In 2004, BOTTOM was also featured on the High Times Magazine High Volume compilation, closing the record out with our song “NADAsoul”.

Most recently BOTTOM has updated its rhythm section, welcoming Ian on bass and Aaron on drums. It's a happy metal family now.

Peace and Tall Whiskeys!!! Happy New Year!
