Since touring with artists like Marcus King, Spafford, and Mihali of Twiddle, Washington, DC-based Bencoolen got busy recording their debut LP Daydream (out March 8).

The “maximalist” rock band—which features college friends Teddy Scott (guitar) and Paul Gregg (lead vocals/guitar), along with Ben Suarez (bass), Jack Bentsen (saxophone), and Will “Willy Pipes” Lockery (drums/backup vocals)—serves up a mix of powerhouse rock n’ roll, blues, funk and soul.

Pre-order for Daydream is happening now via ITunes and Bandcamp

Visit the band’s website for more information and tickets.
