   About Ben Montague


Can't Hold Me Down is OUT NOW! Grab your copy from one of the following online retailers:


Now in case 'Can't Hold Me Down' and 'Haunted' weren't enough for you, Ben has a special surprise for anyone who pre-orders the physical EP - 2 Bonus tracks!

That's right, you will also find 'Yeah yeah' and 'Save A Little Time' on the extended version of the EP, out on physical release on March 30th!

To pre-order your copy just visit:












When Ben Montague’s debut single Can’t Hold Me Down was playlisted on Radio 2 for an impressive five weeks, it sign-posted the gifted singer-songwriter as one of the UK ‘s brightest melodic rock talents, offering an alternative to the world of reality-show gimmickry and sensationalism.  

The foundations for Montague’s success have been thorough and painstaking, his self-fuelled hard work finally leading to his current impressive momentum. Hand-picked as tour support by acclaimed guitarist Joe Bonamassa, Montague found himself catapulted from playing small clubs to audiences of thousands. Racing supremo Eddie Jordan was impressed enough to invite him to perform in front of 18,000 people at Silverstone as part of his all-star band alongside rock legends Roger Daltrey and Nick Mason. Elsewhere, thousands of international travellers were treated to his residency at Heathrow’s Terminal 5.  

It has all added up to a rigorous road-testing for the material which now makes up his debut album, with a new 5-track sampler giving a taste of what is to come. The record is the result of months of perfectionist hard work, taking in contributions from a top-of-the-range production team including Simple Minds / Gary Barlow producer Peter-John Vetesse, guitar work from Genesis legend Mike Rutherford, the songwriting talents of Kylie / Westlife collaborator Cliff Masterson and Goldfrapp / Bon Jovi mixing wizard Dave Bascombe.  

Musically, it takes the influence of a range of classic singer-songwriting legends and gives them a youthful and distinctly 21st twist. The results combine elegantly crafted melodic guitar hooks reminiscent of Maroon 5, The Feeling and the mature, resurrected Take That, all blended with modern takes on the brash, showy talents of 70s-era Elton John, the brooding intensity of Eric Clapton and the charismatic showmanship of Queen.   

The work stretches from the euphoric You Can’t Hold Me Down to the deep-felt melancholia of Haunted. It’s an infectious, mature collection full of heart, soul and craft, which updates the classic rock songwriter tradition.  

Years ago Montague sold his Gibson guitar to pay his rent – now he has an endorsement deal with the company. Patience, talent and hard work are about to pay off. The time is finally right.

Hi Ben

Great, smooth voice and nice guitar riffs. Not too hot on the lyrics, maybe a little too much storytelling and effort to rhyme? Still, very easy listening!
