Benjamin B.
Exactly 25 years after the release of their debut, Groningen pop band Benjamin B. is re-releasing the album of the same name in 2020. Record retailers cycle through all kinds of weather to reunite loyal fans with their favorite band. Benjamin B stands for an oeuvre full of catchy, dynamic guitar pop songs in a style that touches on bands like The Lemonheads, the Breeders and Weezer.
It is therefore no coincidence that the company that puts the B in band was founded in the 90s. Benjamin B toured half of Europe in the early days with Barbara B and Michel B. A special highlight is the evening that they are simultaneously in the final of the Grote Prijs van Nederland and the final of the Pop is Prima prize. They win the latter with what the jury calls 'monumental hits'.
In the meantime, the band is writing new songs in a new line-up. And the poor record store just keeps cycling.
