Ben's Bedroom Band was origionally a dumping ground for all my songs that I was pleased with but were far to wussy for which ever band I happened to be in. It wasn't until a friend of mine requested a cd of these songs that I considered writing more songs specifically for Ben's Bedroom Band and making an album.The problem with making an album was the wildly different styles song to song. I managed to group the songs into two different "moods". The nice accoustic songs and the more rocking ones. Coincidently I ended up with 8 of each. So my first album is kind of a concept album, called "Day Breaks, Dusk Creeps...", the first half being a soundtrack to the daytime and the second half dedicated to darker side of things.If forced to do so, I'd say influences range from Bach to Metallica(early years) to Aphex Twin. But it's really a jumble of every type of music I listen to.Without wanting to sound pretentious, I feel Ben's Bedroom Band's music is a soundtrack to cynical soul. It's nice music with dark undertones, or dark music with a glimmer of hope. That DOES sound pretentious doesn't it. Who cares, people seem to like it and hopefully there's a song for everyone on there, so IF ANYONE WANTS A FREE COPY let me know...I'm still churning out the tunes and already have good start to album number two, and unless I find something better to do with my time it'll probably ready for the summer. Bet you can't wait.A HREF="garageband.com/song?|pe1|S8LTM
