Ben Labat & the Happy Devil

Ben Labat & The Happy Devil are an Alternative Folk Rock band who have released 3 studio albums (A Face for Radio 2010, Soapbox Anthems 2012 and The Revival 2014)  over the last 6 years.

The band has recently announced their newest studio album 'Homeward' due for release in Winter 2016.

On any one of the songs on their debut album, A Face for Radio, and their sophomore effort, Soapbox Anthems, there are musical elements ranging from reggae to country, pop to folk.  This is a direct reflection of both Ben and the band's appreciation and love for all modes of music. Their fourth album, The Revival, is an upbeat and powerful collective work reflecting the roller coaster ride.

The band's live shows are also something to witness, an eclectic mix of finely arranged upbeat originals as well as those cover songs everyone wants to hear, but most bands don't have the stones to play.
