This is the second part of the interview with Benn. Part 2 is all about Benn’s history in music, his musical projects other than Z, and some random music-related tidbits for good measure. Enjoy. 

Hello, I’d like to spend some time explaining some of the changes that are taking place to the original Zombies records. For those of you who didn’t know, I’m currently re-working (that’s probably the best term) the first record as well as the third record. But what does that mean? Well in it’s simplest form it means I’m taking songs that were recorded on a laptop with a single microphone, into the new studio which is slightly better equipped.

Hello everyone,I'd just like to spend a few minutes explaining the process that you will need to undertake in order to land a 'signed copy' of the Quiet One album.

Hello everyone, This is just a really quick blog to mention the fact that there will be a series of Zombies I (mixed down) ringtones available from these blogs in the future. All for free of course! The first is 'A Drowning in Paris'. I hope you enjoy them. They will be linked in .mp3 format for the easiest possible conversions to ringtone formats. By the way, I passed on the first track from Zombies II to a member of the community today for a schedules 'leak' very soon. Keep your eyes peeled.  Be good, B  … Read More
