London 5 piece Ben's Brother are set to release a brand new single "Stuttering (Kiss Me Again)" in the UK on 21st April.
The track has been a complete internet phenomenon, since being used in a chewing gum advert in the States. You only have to look at the views of the commercial on Youtube to get an idea of the swell of intrigue and interest that followed the first airing of the Dentyne Ice advert.
Following a fortnight of extraordinary myspace plays and messages, word soon got out about who 'the band that sing the song in the Chewing Gum advert with the frog' were, and they suddenly found themselves on the next flight to New York, with an single and album release date in hand!
The song itself racked up over 50,000 sales on iTunes before it even got played on Radio! It's now climbing up the US Radio charts; the same way that platinum selling UK acts James Blunt, KT Tunstall and Corrine Bailey Rae broke in the US.
The debut album Beta Male Fairytales will be re-released on 28th April to include "Stuttering (Kiss Me Again)"
Ben's Brother are: Jamie Hartman (lead vocalist), Kiris Houston (keyboards/guitar), Dan McKinna (bass) Dave Hattee (drums) and Tim Vanderkuil (guitar). Their forthcoming live dates are below:
