   About Roy Bennett

Roy Bennett - "Alone" from Roy Bennett on Vimeo.






"2 Daze Away" is Roy Bennett's new Single Release for Jack&Dorothy, Inc.

"The pop rockers in Roy Bennett have just issued a new single and accompanying video--and both show a surprising amount of sophistication for a trio of slackers from Lake Highlands....with "2 Daze Away", Roy Bennett mixes a bit of reggae into its bare bones rock, making music that’s simple without being simplistic."
Darryl Smyers-The Dallas Observer






"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side."

Hunter S. Thompson

Onomatopoeia is Roy’s First Release with Jack&Dorothy, Inc. Records.
Now Available on at www.royben.net, iTunes, www.cdfreedom.com, and on www.yourtexasmusic.com. Roy Bennett is creative and artistic. The lyrics are smart, funny and relatable. Their songs are consistently creative and musically superior. The production of the album is great. I can’t say enough good things about this band!

"The band's 2006 debut, Onomatopoeia, proves that Roy Bennett is a long way from sucking. The debut is solid alt-country in the vein of Todd Snider and Tom Petty, but with a unique sense of funk and soul."

Darryl Smyers-The Dallas Observer

Read the full article here. http://www.dallasobserver.com/2007-07-19/music/misdirection-and-irony/


...Onomatopoeia is easy on the ears, a joy and life-filled album. You don’t hear many like this today, I must admit that Onomatopoeia is pure, clean, pop fun.

Timothy C. Avery June 2007 www.independentclauses.com



"Roy Bennett..., a Dallas singer-songwriter, whose wry lyrics about the mp3 generation Luddites and himself, his music flits around from no-frills, straightforward guitar pop, with traces of southern roots rock and Texas twang, to neo-raggae and lite "London Calling" Clash songs. Like Graham Parker, he uses his wavering nasal vocals to his advantage, adding credence to his main facet- his put upon Everyman persona.."

Jack Rabid-The Big Takeover magazine

Hey!

Great band name!

Good picture too, it looks a lot like me.

Not sure about my influences though, alcohol - yes, but greed - not really, unless that’s a greed for more alcohol then yer ok!

As for sitting on my “arrogant ass“, well I guess my ass can be arrogant sometimes, particularly the morning after a donner kebab and a few beers the night before.

And as for the guys headlines comment below… How about this one:


Roy Bennett
You can’t polish a turd, …but you can mould it into something beautiful and give it a lick of paint.


All the best,

the REAL Roy Bennett.

P.S.
Your music ain’t bad!
