With a growing catalog of music produced by industry heavyweights like Matt Squire (<a href="spotify:artist:2cFrymmkijnjDg9SS92EPM" data-name="blackbear">blackbear</a>), Sam Pura (<a href="spotify:artist:1qqdO7xMptucPDMopsOdkr" data-name="State Champs">State Champs</a>), and Matt Malpass (<a href="spotify:artist:6FBDaR13swtiWwGhX1WQsP" data-name="blink-182">blink-182</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:7B76SsfzG0wWk1WEvGzCmY" data-name="Magnolia Park">Magnolia Park</a>), Ben DeHan creates a unique sound somewhere between <a href="spotify:artist:6TIYQ3jFPwQSRmorSezPxX" data-name="Machine Gun Kelly">Machine Gun Kelly</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:7xklw3WodFZiNNmQt3DIgp" data-name="Angels &amp; Airwaves">Angels &amp; Airwaves</a>. With an authenticity that can only be earned as a kid who saw the country through the window of a 15 passenger van and the urgency of a man who&#39;s seen the inside of a cubicle, he&#39;s quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.

As a founding member of pop-punk band <a href="spotify:artist:2qQBX6HMNStdA70jrew8Fd" data-name="American Diary">American Diary</a>, Ben has shared stages with artists like <a href="spotify:artist:46gyXjRIvN1NL1eCB8GBxo" data-name="All Time Low">All Time Low</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3WfJ1OtrWI7RViX9DMyEGy" data-name="Mayday Parade">Mayday Parade</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3zxKH0qp3nBCuPZCZT5Vaf" data-name="Yellowcard">Yellowcard</a>. His melancholically optimistic lyrics, meticulously programmed beats, and singalong choruses have drawn comparisons to alt/indie acts like <a href="spotify:artist:3QaxveoTiMetZCMp1sftiu" data-name="Waterparks">Waterparks</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6d4jrmreCmsenscuieJERc" data-name="The Band CAMINO">The Band CAMINO</a>, while the use of hooky guitar riffs and a &#34;wear your heart on your sleeve&#34; vocal performance feel right at home for fans of 2000’s Pop-Punk and Emo akin to <a href="spotify:artist:6FBDaR13swtiWwGhX1WQsP" data-name="blink-182">blink-182</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3Ayl7mCk0nScecqOzvNp6s" data-name="Jimmy Eat World">Jimmy Eat World</a>.

Ben&#39;s latest release, &#34;Last Flight,&#34; produced and mixed by Bryan Czap (<a href="spotify:artist:0iMnpaEHXkgMT956CmP1kj" data-name="The Dangerous Summer">The Dangerous Summer</a>) and Matt Malpass, is an emo/pop-punk anthem that sounds like Blink 182 and <a href="spotify:artist:3mIj9lX2MWuHmhNCA7LSCW" data-name="The 1975">The 1975</a> co-wrote a song for a John Hughes film. Its upbeat tempo, catchy melodies, and synth-pop vibes contrast with lyrics that tackle tough topics like anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts.

Expect new singles from a new EP (also produced by Malpass), throughout the spring and summer, as well as tour dates and a big announcement!
