Out now is the debut album from Young Hines. Give Me My Change was produced by Brendan Benson and showcases a shining talent of melodic song-craft and creative diversity that's rarely seen in contemporary pop music.

"reasserts Benson’s standing as one of America’s greatest songwriters" 8/10
NME

"it would be foolish to ignore Benson's offering"
The Sunday Times

The Brendan Benson Concert Los Angeles live album is out now and available exclusively via Spotify in Europe.

In the Winter of 2010, Brendan Benson toured the United States backed by musicians Brad Pemberton (Ryan Adams, The Pinkhearts), and Jonathan Auer and Ken Stringfellow, both of The Posies and Big Star.

In the final days of the tour director Myke Adams documented the Los Angeles show. The resulting film, from which this album originates, will be released Summer 2012.

From the open piano bars of “Never Mine” to the album-closing chaos of “Ride Along”, Soundshine is as if a guide-book on pop perfection. Stupidly infectious hooks, smart lyrics, sweet harmonies, killer riffs and dynamic production - it’s clear that David Myhr knows what he’s doing when it comes to making an album that grabs the listeners attention.
