We’ve been a fan of British rock ‘n’ blues artist BEN POOLE since his break-through album “Let’s Go Upstairs” in 2013.
We’ve always said that Ben has an invigorating natural ability that sets him apart from other musical artists on the scene. We’ve described his guitar-play as having, “a thriving incandescent quality…”
Now Ben is to release his first studio album of new material in eight years. Titled “Post-Midnight Behaviour” the album is to be released by Gypsy Soul Records on Friday September 25, 2026.
The new album is available to pre-order here: https://gypsy-soul-records.myshopify.com/collections/ben-poole
The first single to be taken from the forthcoming 2026 album is “No Second Chances”, (shared below) written by Ben, and with Oli Brown (backing b-vox and moog), Wayne Proctor (drums) and Steve Amadeo (bass guitar.)
The song has a blend of intricate guitar work and a solid beat that forms the base, while the composition progresses into a gentle, resolute anthem. Supported by lush vocals, “No Second Chances” offers waves of encouragement before offering a sparkling guitar detail. Super-multithreaded!
