The Bottom Forty is hosted by Greg Glover who grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, but relocated to New York City in the mid 1990s. He co-founded the indie label Arena Rock Recording Company (Harvey Danger, Superdrag, Elf Power, Calla, Bombay Bicycle Club) in 1995 and also served as an A&R rep for both London/Slash and Sire Records.
