Release Date: Out Now
I’m always intrigued to get new
releases from Xtra Mile Recordings as they have a strong track record of
unearthing excellent songwriters and tunesmiths. Although Reading’s Ben Marwood
may not be brand new on the scene but he’s new to me and he’s pretty special to
boot. New single, ‘Baby You’re A Mess’ has a touch of the Frank Turner’s about
it but with less of that anger and a little more confessional introspection as
the song grows from delicate acoustic tones to a strummed full band romp in
direct correlation to Marwood’s confidence in the message he’s delivering. If
you like you’re folk impassioned and with a touch of Americana about it then this
might just be up your street, idly strumming a guitar in the corner of an Irish
bar with a half drunk pint of Guinness on a stool.
