Band Members: All songs were written, performed, and produced by Benjy Rench. Linus Morris wrote the lyrics to "Berlin Walls" and played Harmonica on "Better Never." DJ Loczi scratches on "PNG Flavor" and co-wrote "New Day."
Influences: I really like these bands, but I don't try to mimick their sound: Beck, Gorillaz, Cold War Kids, Matt Costa, Jack Johnson, Ben Harper, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Vince Lombardi, Clay Aiken (nah, that last one was just a joke), Sublime, The Shins, Creedence Clearwater, Moby, Cake, Norah Jones, G-Love and Special Sauce, Neil Young, Badly Drawn Boy, Damien Rice, Geggy Tah, and R.L. Burnside. (There are more but that is enough for now)
This next list is really what influences me more than music: Literature (I love to read), Well made movies, the myriad of cultures around me, learning from the mistakes that others make, the global battle between nature and industry, Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Books, creative artists, people who possess wisdom, my life experiences, my spiritual journey, and I can't forget my family and friends, and sometimes my students...hehe.
