Sounds Like
Sometimes kind of whine-y, and sometimes kind of folk-y, and sometimes kind of punk-y. To quote Wes Eisold, "I know my voice isn't great, but at least it's sincere".
Mancub is songs that Ben writes and plays live on an acoustic guitar. Mancub is currently based out of Richmond, VA because that is where Ben goes to college. Mancub may or may not be touring and playing shows in the near future because Ben sometimes doesn't really like doing Mancub. Mancub is currently trying to find some sweet people to record with after Ben writes some more songs. Mancub feels really silly referring to himself in the third person. Message me if you want me to play shows or anything.

It took me a long time to cope, Ben. I refused to believe everything at first. And even after the fact, I just tried to stay strong. But, you know, I still think about you everyday. I still hear Saratoga and Amputee running around in my head every so often. And I still can't get that last conversation I had with you out of my mind. I called you to tell you good luck on the tour, the day after my birthday, the day after the last time I saw you, and you were at Taco Bell. You sounded really happy. Really earnest about your first big tour. I was really happy for you. And hopefully, someday when I go on tour, whenever that may be, you three will be all I can think about; in a good way. I miss you so much man. I miss hearing these songs played by your fingers right in front of me. You changed my life, Ben. You made want to write better songs. You made me laugh. You made me appriciate stupid things that wouldn't be worth a second glance otherwise. You rule, Ben. I miss you. I miss you a lot.
Y'know, I didn't know you personally, but you had some heart, kid. I still listen to the CD, and well... I just hope it helps keep a lil bit of you in the world or something, y'know? Rest easy.
dang youre not going to believe this...i click'd this offer to receive a Coach bag and wallet totally FREE & it surprisingly came!! since i KNOW its for real now, i'm going to hurry and swipe a few more to send out as a present..you really oughta go grab a few as well LOL! ain't the one they sent me hot?
hey guys, i wrote a song for ben, just thought i would let you guys know about it. it's on my page if you want to hear it, and in the end i put a really echo-y clip of surrender at saratoga. though i never met ben, he was still a great influence in my musical career. please check it out
hola everybody. if you would like to get a mancub tshirt let me know. we used the stencil ben had that he used to make tshirts for the tour and had some made. so if you want one just let me know!!
I thought about you today-and remembered that while I was a nanny over the summer-I was driving these kids around playing your CD-they asked if you were a cowboy.I thought you might have gotten stoked about that.
I'm heartbroken that I never had the chance to talk to you besides "hey great set" and all of that once. I dont think you could've ever realized how much your music has touched me and continues to touch me today. You're an inspiration. You didnt deserve to go. This world is fucked up.
