BEN DISASTER (2014)

Edmonton, AB

Disaster brings a heaping helping of the East Coast power-pop tradition to bear on heart-on-sleeve Alberta country-punk. Having honed his skills busking on Whyte Avenue, he hollers and rasps his way into your heart and funny bone. Fearless and free-ranging, his band might bust out an all-acoustic set, or be accompanied by transient random noise-bursts, depending on how they're feeling that day.
