Bearos020 Ben Calvert - The state of travel EP (7")
Listen to Ben at www.myspace.com/bencalvertmusic

Ben writes and plays modern urban ballads, with an indie-pop dimension. Within are tales of modern life's trials and tribulations, where themes of pessimism and tragedy meet with optimistic, bright-sound instrumentation. As well as this form of modern soul music, he also plays what is best described as 'dark folk'.

This debut recording received unanimous praise worldwide. John Peel gave the song "Leeds for the Winter" it's first airplay on his Radio One show, and other national radio stations in Europe followed.

Since he started playing live in late 2000 Ben has notched up over 80 gigs in towns and cities around England. He has played Radio One Live in the City in Birmingham and Brighton, and has played solo support to touring NYC Anti-folk artists Lach and Hamell On Trial.

"Sweetly melancholic...luxurious tone." Holly Hernandez, Melody Maker.

7" single £2.50 (inludes postage in the UK)
