Read the full review here: "Be sure to give this mysterious, witty, offensive, beautiful singer/songwriter a listen, because there is bound to be an aspect of his music that appeals to you."

Read the full review here: "Ben Everyman is what's known as a shit disturber. Whether with his edgy, absurd wit or his melodic, minimalist songs, the Vancouver singer/songwriter knows how to provoke a response."

Read the full interview here: "The music aims to be simple and familiar, skipping about genres like a retarded child, while the words cut lines of deep sarcastic scorn through the open door of the subconscious."

"Vancouver, BC's Ben Everyman thumbs his nose at songwriting conventions on Iconoplastic, a debut album as charming as it is cheeky. Witty, scruffy and irreverent, the album combines lo-fi production with absurd lyrics then tops it off with defiantly off-key vocals."

"...what Ben does best is make you think about whether he's being serious or just toying with you. Definitely a collection of songs that you feel compelled to come back to because of the imagery it conjures or the smile it leaves on your face."

Another review of the debut album by The Province. Read the full review here: "The cartoon cover depicting a rabbit blowing his brains out might be an indication of Ben Everyman's dim view of society, but his album's eight songs are more enlightened than that..."

"With such snappy wordplay as an album title and a name like “Everyman” you may be thrown for a loop. What you will discover is that you won’t find many better lyricists than this guy."

As any artist can tell you, there is a tremendous amount of self-promotion required to be successful in today's marketplace. I grow concerned that all this puffery will go to our heads, and I want everyone to know that I'm "keepin it real" so here's a list of the top things that suck about me....

Have you ever checked out vanmusic.ca? Well you should. These guys are spreading the word about the hottest local indie bands - which is awesome. Surf over to check out my feature, but stay for the indy band goodness.

Get a free unreleased track off the new album by signing up for the Ben Everyman mail list (it’s just to the right a little) by Nov 16th. All the cool kids are doing it…

Check out the new and improved versions of three classic songs as well as a previously unreleased track “Dead Snow” – Just a little taste of the new album due out late 2010. More songs will be released soon, so…

Another road trip with nothing to do, so my trusty companion Heff and I decided to pick our top 10 fictitious death/black metal songs. Unfortunately, some of the songs and bands we invented actually exist... click below and see if you can figure out which ones are real!

Just got finished recording my album with Eric Lowerison. Sweet huh? That means soon you will be able to own a piece of my soul. Probably be under 10 bucks too… good price for a sweet hot piece of soul.…
