In this interview, I speak with guitarist, vocalist and songwriter Ben Gleason of the band Source.
I met Ben a few years ago when Source was on tour opening for Hell Yeah! and In Flames. Ben came through the photo pit, thanking the photographers for being at the show. I gave him my business card, and have been in contact with each other since.
We discuss what is going with the band and how they are coping with the stay at home orders because of the Covid 19 pandemic. We also discuss the new band headquarters, the recording sessions, some details on their upcoming album, their planned marketing campaign for the new album and what its like now doing everything from pre-production, recording, mastering, and marketing as a independent band - meaning that they do not have the backing of a record label any longer.
Ben also talked about how the band plans to launch a crowdfunding campaign and also launching a "members" only page of the band's website which will have behind the scenes videos, merchandise, interviews, one on ones - whatever the band wants to share with the fans!
We talk about some tour highlights, personnel changes within the band, the favorite guitar he owns, and we also discuss some Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Yes, Ben trains and is a Brown Belt under Amal Easton of Easton Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
