Born and raised in Texas, USA; Erin Bennett has shaken the UK's underground music scene since moving to Scotland in 2010. The award-winning singer-songwriter/guitarist received positive reviews for her debut album release, 'ReFlowered' in 2015 and stirred audiences with her promo tour in 2016. Described by Indie Pulse magazine as 'Music's Wonder Woman,' Erin is trying, with her latest offering, to earn that accolade.

 

'Post Sexy, Post Truth' features 12 original tracks which take listeners on a relentless journey of severe self-scrunity. The hard/prog rock musical style adds an extra degree of intensity which locks listeners in for the 48 minute duration. Erin's crunchy Texan guitar style and wide vocal range is woven wonderfully onto a backdrop of unforgiving and driving bass tones; rumbling and skilfully played Hammond organs; and tasteful and yet intricate drumming. All of this is capped with exceptional and surreal vocal harmonies.

​

Erin, along with the members of her long standing outfit 'The EB Band' recorded 'Post Sexy, Post Truth' at Watercolour Studios in Fort William, Scotland. Adhering to a more 'old fashioned' technique for recording, the band performed the songs 'live' together in the same room in order to capture the musical atmosphere of their celebrated live shows... including pops, clicks, creaking springs and mumbles.

​

Erin Bennett and the EB Band will kick off promotions for the album with an acoustic tour of music stores throughout Scotland as well as performances at Glagsow's O2 ABC on February 3rd, Planet Rock's 'Winter's End Festival' on February 24th and Hawkwind's 'Hawkeaster' Festival on March 30th at the Alhambra Theatre in Morecambe.
