Music Now: We are very excited about this interview. We have been trying to put this one together for awhile and different things would come up. I am happy to say that it has been worth the wait as we present Ben’s first US Interview.
>>>This is my first US interview and I'm very happy about it. Thank you very much.
Music Now: What makes you and/or your band stand out from all the other
bands/artisis out there?
>>>My ideals, dedication, and the fact I'm not afraid of much.
Music Now: If you could perform a concert with any band or artist(living or dead),
who would it be and why?
>>>Stone Temple Pilots. They have been one of my favorite bands since I was in public school.
Music Now: Give us a brief bio of you and/or the band?
>>>Ben's experience is transformed into melodic, rockin and sometimes dark sounds. Ben presented his songs to producer and multi instrumentalist Dave Thompson, renowned for his work with bands world wide, nationally broadcast television shows, and remixes for major label artists like Jessica Simpson Justin Timberlake and Sugar Ray. Dave Thompson created additional instrumentation and song parts. He also played all the instruments.
Songs like "Twisted" show bitterness towards the unethical sociopath establishment, and prove Ben as a provocative writer. More over "Happiness Eludes Her" is an empathetic track, showing us he isn't always an angry guy. A track that has become a favorite "Its Over" is surprisingly the first song Ben penned in 2004 after picking up the guitar. It’s a dark introspective track Ben refers to as "More personal then I first thought." His first release is expected in 2007.
Music Now: How did your first song materialize?
>>I actually don't know, I suppose it started with a feeling or thought that’s how everything begins.
