    Uhh.. Hello Everyone~ The name's Chris. I'm Chris. If ya can't tell, I'm kinda new here. Not necessarily to the music, but to the forum. I've been listening to Radical Face for, I think, a year now. Oh, location.. I'm from Greece. I'm 18, and like to use Emoticons (Smilies). :D
    I found Radical Face from the YouTube. I was song hopping (jumping from video to video basically) and I clicked on, and listened to, Wandering. I fell in love with that song almost instantly. I've been listening to them you ever since. :]
    Also just a few moments ago I found out about Patients... and it's amazing. :3

    Hello Folks, My name is Thijs. After visiting radicalfacedotcom for several times i decided to sign up for the forum. I think im listening to your music for about a year now and i'm excited about Clone! I live in the Netherlands and i occasionally visit concerts with my dad. some of my favorite bands are: Radiohead, Patrick Watson, Sigur Rós, Arcade Fire, The National and of course you Ben. It's really sad that my friends only listen to dubstep and techno. I tried to feed them the music that i like but unfortunately they like the dance music more. I joined the forum to be able to some folks who meet my taste in music and have some fun and admire the work of Ben :) I have played guitar, bass and have singed quite some time. I got really bored in the bands i playedwith because we only played covers of music that i did not like... at the moment i try to figure out Reason which is a lot of fun. although i dont seem to be able to start with reason everytime i come back from school. I think i havent found my passion yet. Listening to the music of Ben really inspires me to start writing music as well.

  4. Hello everyone, I'm Hayley, 18 years of age and from the north-west of the UK. I really like your music Ben and have been listening to radical face since I was little. As I have, electric president. My Dad introduced me to your music. We shared the same favourite song which was Welcome Home, we'll be playing it at his funeral tomorrow and I basically just came on here today to type this up and to say I cant thank you enough for making such unique music.

    Hi there, I'm Emma from Aberdeenshire. I only recently fell over Ben's work... and my whole family is now somewhat hooked... beautiful, haunting, amazing. Kudos my friend. Real music, real talent, bring it on!

    My sympathies for your loss. That's a fantastic musical choice. I like the image of "coming home" when dying, reminds me of the movie "Gladiator".
  7. Thankyou for your understanding. And you are completely right. I am glad you, myself and other's can see it that way. :)

    Welcome to all you new comers! I've welcome and greeted a many who've passed through here but I wanted to point out that if any of your 'words' are hyperlinked in your post, can easily stop this by going back hitting edit, and then adding an asterisk * at the end of the word. This also works for tumblr posters. Advertising is getting way out of hand!

    I'm Logan, 23, from Knoxville, TN.
    Been a fan of Radical Face for 3ish years now, and am hopin' to make it out to Ben's concert in Virginia next week. I've written two cover letters for job applications today, so I'm about tired of talking about myself. But this forum is great! Thanks for being so (digitally) accesible, Ben. You're in my top five bands, easy, bro.

    Yayyyy the bug has been destroyed!! My name's Carrie, I live in Louisiana, and I stumbled upon Ben and his wondrous music-making skills on Pandora a few years ago. I'm amazed and in awe of his talent and am so happy that he shares his music with the world! Thanks to his frequent accompanying musicians as well... yall are awesome. I'm going to be in Seattle around Memorial Day, so hopefully I'll get to break away to PORTLANDIA to see the show at the White Eagle! Keep up the magic, Ben!

    Indeed!! I sent two overzealous (and maybe even slightly creepy) fan emails to the @radicalface.com account a few weeks ago when I found this site. Couldn't create an account, but just had to share my appreciation at that moment... I'm sorry, radicalface account managers... I'm only a little crazy...
  17. MagicalZebra Active Member

    Welcome to the forum! It feels really good to have new members joining, it got kind of ghost-towny for a while there. Also Carrie, I think that email goes straight to Ben, so it wouldn't be any account managers that saw your crazy appreciation, just the man himself.
  18. Carrie Potter Member

    There are 10 people on a rotation to drive 2 hours roundtrip to a site down da bayou... one person goes out everyday, and we share a vehicle. I "accidentally" left Junkyard Chandelier in the player all week... hopefully Ben will have some new fans soon ;)

    Yeah, I have no account managers. It's why the messages come back pretty slow sometimes. If someone was hired for this and worked at the rate I do, they'd be fired. I just haven't figured out a way to fire myself yet.

    Hey everyone. I'm Mathias from Gothenburg, Sweden. I've listened to Ben's music for about 3-4 years now and I saw Radical Face live in London last January. At that show I also had some male bonding going on with Ben at the urinal before the gig. You know it's a good gig when you have the same toilet as the band. Anyway, I told Ben back then and I'm saying it again: If you ever come to Sweden, Gothenburg is the place to come to, not Stockholm!
