Background notes
Archive material and source history
Ben Willis fronts the indie rock band that shares his name. Their debut album 'The Shadow of the Beast' came out in 2003, followed by records like 'Crawl' in 2006 and 'The Bleeding Heart' in 2009. The core lineup has included Alex Jones on guitar, Tom Smith on bass, and Matt Johnson on drums, though Willis has been the only constant member through various changes.
Some of their lyrics touch on mental illness and addiction, which has drawn criticism from certain corners. In 2010, the band got tangled in a public legal fight with a former record label. They kept putting out music anyway, with 'The Devil's Advocate' arriving in 2013.
Their sound tends toward the dark and atmospheric, built around Willis's raw vocal delivery. The song 'Crawl' is a good example of that mood. They've maintained a following that responds to the direct, sometimes uncomfortable honesty in the material.
