Frankenfido | Heartless
Strictly not a TuneLeak, but a single release!
A gothic tale of a man beyond redemption, set to a pounding 80s disco beat.
Available in lossless 24-96 stereo and 5.1 surround!

Dean – drums
Recorded at The Forbidden Room Of Mystery, 25 September 2016.

Ben Craven | Last Chance To Hear completed!
Well, the album is now completed, the artwork nailed, and we’re just about ready to ship everything off for manufacture.
Thank you everyone who came along for the TuneLeak journey! You will receive more information about ordering “Last Chance To Hear” from my Bandcamp page, if you are so inclined. TuneLeak downloads are now finished for this album.
This was a fun experiment! Based on your feedback and my own experience, I’ll definitely do something similar for the next album, with one or two changes.
– cheers, Ben.
Ben Craven | Last Chance To Hear Part 1
Unleashing… the opening track, appropriately titled, “Last Chance To Hear Part 1”. (Yes, there is a Part 2 and it will most likely close the album.) This is perhaps a little more over-the-top for me than usual – one part demented chat show theme and one part acerbic call to arms. Then everything goes to heck.
