FrYars is Ben Garrett, a 19 year old Londoner with a shed-load of talent and the vision and ambition to match. A haunting singer and inspired songwriter, frYars music sets him miles apart from the teen-indie masses and their mundane social commentary. His debut release, ‘The Ides EP’, announces the arrival of a unique artist, with more - beautifully realised - ideas across its four tracks than most acts manage in an entire career.

Indifferent to much contemporary music, frYars influences are as hard to place as his sound is difficult to categorise. If pushed he will admit an admiration for the careers of David Bowie and Damon Albarn. He aims “to make something diverse and genre-less and different, without compromising the song” and promises to deliver an album that offers “something for everyone - but everything for no one (except myself).” Lyrically rich, each song on the EP creates characters, imagines worlds, tells a story, but frYars won’t be drawn into explanations - please draw your own conclusions.

An album will be released, most likely, in the spring of 2009. It will be produced by fryars along with luke smith (formerly of clor) and paul butler of the bees.
