Ninety-Four.04 Perspective on In Progress

My influences of Punk and Grunge Rock mixed with Southern Rock personifies the style of music that I write

I listened to Cross Canadian Ragweed's Purple album at 17 and I was hooked. I wanted to play guitar and sing just like Cody Canada from then on.

My name is Ben Martin and I play in the rock group Ninety-Four.04. I am an Electrical Engineer by trade and love to write music

All types of rock; Punk, Grunge, Hard, Metal, Southern

In Progress because it has a guitar instrumental, is fun to sing, and it exemplifies a true origin story of how the band got its name.

To play on some of the biggest stages and festivals in the Country

Cody Canada, Charlie Starr, Post Malone

Always pay it forawrd no matter where you go and who you meet. You never know when you might need a hand in life

The music that I write

Probably 5 years old listening to October Project or REM

Hard Rock. Southern, depending on the day

Podcasts

Connection. A sense of realism and passion that I put into each lyric and note that I play

I practice music everyday. Whether it be a new instrument or guitar. Though keeping up with social media robs me of that time unfortunately

great guitar playing more than anything else. I have always strived to be like Duane Allman 

Blackberry Smoke, Black Crowes or Whiskey Myers. They seem like a great time

I would love to write a song with Charlie Starr. People really gravitate to his music and he puts a lot of passion into everything he does

Playing local gigs and festivals. It is always fun to receive uplifting comments to total strangers

This plays into very heavy Hard Rock which might be the heaviest on the album. Someone says it sounds a lot like Dirty Honey or AC/DC
