Into the mines
The Into the Mines EP represents the debut works of Ben Armistad.
The EP would come under an alternative pop / rock genre with guitar and vocals being the most important elements in the mixes although sparse use of synths is used to offer the listener variety.
The focus for the listener should be towards the story and messages being told with the supporting musical framework complementing rather than overpowering the narrative.
America the Brave single
America the Brave is a follow-up single that tells of the patriotism and loyalty of Americans to their country.
"Well they will not,go so gentle, it's the only work they know
