Musician Biography
Ben Kweller started his career as the lead vocalist to Radish, a band with lots of hype (particularly over the youth of the members) and a huge backlash, when their records turned out to be too close to Nirvana's. When that band broke up, however, it took him a few years to try the music industry again, this time as a solo artist with very little in common to Nirvana, and this time, a little older and more original, he had quite a bit of success and a lot more respect, both between fans and critics. Since, he's a co-founder of the "supergroup" The Bens, with fellow Bens Folds and Lee.
