Roots / blues rocker Ben Poole releases new single “No Second Chances”

What happens after midnight belongs to you, the moon, and the first
light creeping in from the east. Whatever your late-night world holds,
Ben Poole’s new album offers a rich, intriguing soundtrack.

Post-Midnight Behaviour is Ben Poole’s first studio album of new material in eight years, following 2018’s critically acclaimed Time Has Come. Rooted in blues rock, it also explores new musical ground.

Venturing into broader musical territory, Ben embraces a more laid-back sound shaped by subtle rock grooves and hooks that flare like shooting stars. Expressive without excess and memorable without distraction, it leaves a deep impression without ever overwhelming the listener. In short, it is the perfect soundtrack for Post-Midnight Behaviour.

“I wanted this album to showcase my evolution as guitarist and singer songwriter,” says Ben. “For several years, I have performed over 150 shows a year across more than 20 countries. My guitar style and technique have developed, my singing voice has matured, and my influences have varied. The new album is a journey that combines Blues, Rock, Soul, Country, and Alternative Rock. I still get to let loose on the guitar, but within a more subdued and reflective manner. Ambiance inspired the name of the album, Post-Midnight Behaviour.”

“I have released a few live albums in recent years. They are much quicker and a time stamp on where you are at that moment. I took my time over the new album so that it would be super-realised in every aspect. My writing team and I really pushed ourselves. We dug deep to make sure the songwriting was of the highest quality and the arrangements were carefully structured and perfectly executed. My fans are going to really like what we have created. It was well worth the wait!”

Pre-order the album on the internet and they will post it out to you, upon release.
