How the hell did this band pass me by for so many years? I'm a lifelong fanatic of NYC punk losers and transplants like the New York Dolls, Ramones, Hearbreakers, Dictators, Cramps, Dead Boys , etc but someone from Columbus, OH had to hip me to the joys of Pure Hel l. Formed in Philadelphia in 1974, this all-black noise commando relocated to NYC in 1975 and started making the rounds at dumps like Max's Kansas City. Four ghetto youths high on dust and with the sound of Weasels Ripped My Flesh echoing in their brains [...]
Looking to take a break from the solo game and continuing to keep us yearning for that Bens album, Ben Lee has resurrected the band of his yesteryears. After a 14 year hiatus, the Australian singer/songwriter has teamed up with Dinosaur Jr.'s Lou Barlow and El May's Lara Meyerratken to reform Noise Addict and release a brand new album, entitled It Was Never About The Audience . The title is a little misleading, as the 15-track effort couldn't be more about the audience what with the fact that it [...]
Free music is good music.
well shit this came up with the quickness, this being a new noise addict record featuring of course ben lee , but this time round also including mr lou barlow and crooked finger's lara meyerratken. im six songs into it was never about the audience and its pretty awesome and as charming and catchy as anything mr lee has ever put to record. oh did i mention you can also get it for free? yeah, you should probably grab this . if you can find em, i highly recommend seeking out the early noise addict stuff, [...]
Noise Addict was the name of Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee's band many, many years ago. It was this band that caught the attention of Grand Royal Records, which eventually led to Lee's solo career. Well, now Noise Addict is back with a new line-up, which includes not only Ben Lee, but also Lou Barlow (Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr.) and Lara Meyerratken, and a new album called it was never about the audience . The best part of the news? The album is available completely for free at www.noiseaddict.net . it was [...]

What a pleasant surprise this is. Though I was an early and avid supporter, I started to lose track of Ben Lee after becoming increasingly disappointed in his music as he matured from the 13 year-old that was introduced to the US by no less than Thurston Moore's Ecstatic Peace label in 1993 with his primitive cheap keyboard drum machines and guitars and obvious gift of melody and clever turns of phrase and into a more studied and serious singer-songwriter. That early notice was largely driven by the 1994 underground hit "I Wish I Was Him," (from the [...]

i gotta give ben lee his due cause quite frankly i didnt think he would make much of himself past his early teens fronted band noise addict. but, like a lot of things in my life, i was wrong about him. sure, i dont get around to listening to him much these days, but every record he was put out has been pretty damn solid.if you are into quirky poppy folk songs and can get past his never changing pre-pubescent tone then ben lee is your dude. ok, you gotta couple options here people. if you want in [...]
Who didn't love Noise Addict? So cute! Young Australian's making indie pop. What's not to love? I preferred the Young and Jaded e.p. to the full length they put out. Probably due to this cover: Back In Your Life (jonathan richman) Come on! That is awesome! I love kids with impeccable musical taste. I actually still love the first Ben Lee record. It's upsetting to think that I've hated everything he's put out since. I don't fall for novelty so I don't think that's it. Maybe it says more about [...]
The Walkmen are releasing their latest album You & Me on August 19th. I was a big huge fan of their debut album, almost six years ago now, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone , but while their follow-up produced a runner up on my Top 200 of All-Time ("The Rat" from 2004's Bows + Arrows ), I don't think I liked anything from their last album, so the fact that I'm pretty much loving most of the new album is a welcome surprise. Check out their first leaked [...]
