With boot heels in the graveyard and grit in their teeth, Ben and the Bloodshots return to the spotlight with their brooding debut album, If You Ever Get to Heaven, an 11-track descent into the gothic soul of Americana. Released May 9th 2025, the album is a cinematic journey through sin, salvation, and the long, lonely roads in between.
Drawing comparisons to the storytelling grit of Johnny Cash, the nocturnal howls of Tom Waits, and the apocalyptic poetry of Nick Cave, If You Ever Get to Heaven finds the band refining their signature blend of outlaw country and dark folk noir. With mournful horns, rumbling bass, Ashley's haunting voice, and Ben’s gravel-drenched vocals, the record doesn’t just wear its heart on its sleeve—it drags it through the dust.
Fronted by Ben on guitar & vocals, and backed by the Bloodshots—Ashley on the vocals, Troy beating the drums, Davis thumping the bass, and Mick blasting the trumpet & smashing the keys—delivering haunting melodies and raw storytelling, fusing alt folk & country noir.
