ABOUT
I'm Ben, I started playing guitar at about 14 and joined my first band. Been playing ever since. My last band i played with some of my best mates ive ever made, i'd love to get another band together with these guys, but maybe have a few others involved too. We played some shows, but not enough to get known, it was great fun, but also we wrote some really good songs.
I'd like to find people who could get involved and see what we can do, then take it from there. I think playing live is one of the most fullfilling experiences and you get such a rush from it, i want to feel that again.
I'm doing guitar lessons at the moment from Stone, im looking for pupils so that i can get a little business up and going. Hopefully it will take off, so if anyone knows anybody who might be interested give me a call. 07727754233 Thanks.

Influences
Well when i first started playing guitar I was influenced by cd's i found round the house like Metallica, Sex Pistols, then i researched a bit and found bands like the Dead Kennedys, Motley Crue and Skid Row.
I'm a wide listener and i like to check out pretty much anything. Experimental, ambient, dance, techno, industrial, metal, punk.
Just loads, combining music together is great, i used to just be an 80's metal head but i realised that theres a lot more than being stuck in 1 area all your life, move on, theres so much out there left to see.
