Death and a Cure

Death and a Cure is a solo act that began in in Perth, Western Australia on October 2008 with acclaimed singer/ songwriter/ guitarist, Ben Blondel. Since launching his debut EP in July 2010, Ben is more recently recognized for his role as the singer from Post-hardcore outfit 'In League'. His debut album is currently in the making and a single will be released in March/April 2011. Ben recorded his first solo song in 2005 and it received immediate attention from the wider music community, winning WAM song of the year in the upper-school aged category for his song 'The Best is Yet to Come'. In 2006 he was nominated twice in the Gospel category for his songs 'This Disease' and 'All of the Above'. There is much to be said about the beautiful music produced by this solo act. Drawing on inspiration from artists such as Sufjan Stevens, Dallas Green, John Mayer and Damien Rice, Ben has an honest, calm and soothing approach to his unique style of music that avid music lovers all want to hear. Every song has meaning and depth far beyond its face value for Ben, with messages that confront often inconvenient yet unavoidable truths that derive from both introspective thought and contemplation upon universal social truths.
