Get Found

Ben Marwood's third album 'Get Found'. Since his debut album proper Outside There's A Curse in 2011, Marwood has built up a devoted cult following and become a mascot of the 2000 Trees Festival. Highlights continued to come, including a solo headline UK tour, supporting Frank Turner in the US, and probably all topped by the very surreal spectacle of this humble singer-songwriter accompanying Mr Turner upon rolling green hills at his pre-show performance of the London 2012 Olympics Opening Ceremony.

There are lots of calls to 'stand up' in the climate we're in, to do something, to not just be. Ben Marwood's insistence on standing up, even to the point of falling down, is a reminder to keep going. His songs are our terrace chant as we face the encroaching night and hide our fear. He's a humble and pleasant man who unwittingly inspires love and inspiration. And his albums illustrate a journey that we're all on together but whose perspective is all his; full of highs, lows, triumphs and disappointments, but ultimately determined, compelling and very much what he makes of it.
