Latest News: mrben have just announced that Jonathan Lawrence will be replacing Leighton Holloway as their official new bass player for the line up in 2010 and beyond. The boys wish Leighton the very best in his new endeavors with his new band and will always be grateful for his hard work, creative input and excellent performances both on stage and in the studio over the past 5 years.
With Jonathan now on board, he brings a different approach to the existing playlist and is gearing up for one hell of an exciting year with the band. Jeff & Ben have welcomed "Jono" with open arms and have been very busy rehearsing for their "new sound" and touring plans.
Latest Release
"Night & Day" is the debut release from mrben, this album is full of surprises and packed with dynamic ear candy. The album most certainly lives up to the title, dark when it wants to be and mellow when it should be, each recorded performance has it's own story to tell. Produced by Lindsay Rimes you can hear his influence across the entire album, the approach from day one was "lets make a rock record" and do it well. If your into melodic rock mixed with acoustic pop, this is definitely one for you. Track one A Memory was the first single to be released back in November 2008, followed by the second single The Last Time in 2009 which was quickly picked up by Foghorn Records, mrben were awarded a publishing deal to feature the single on the upload 3 CD compilation. Now in 2010 the third release When You're Gone will be the focus for mrben. Although the singles coming off the album are the most radio ready my favorite songs are "Murder" & "Stand" they really do grow on you after a few listens. In summary Night & Day is yet to be discovered and would have to go down as one of the most unique sounding original albums that have come out of Australia in the last 5 years....Daniel Peters.
