Oh, gosh, happy Friday! On this week's edition of "Carson and Laura Switch Blogs", I'll be reflecting on my knowledge of Ben Bruce, the lead guitarist for one of her favorite bands, Asking Alexandria. As usual, I'll write in bullet-point style.
- When you Google Ben Bruce, the first Wikipedia page that comes up is about an old folk singer.
- He is in Asking Alexandria.
- He formed the band in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which is strange, because he's English.
- I'm not sure who the lead singer for Asking Alexandria is, but I think James Cassells might be the drummer?
- This band is darker and less parent-friendly than the already-not-parent-friendly Sleeping With Sirens.
- Carson resents them because they haven't yet named their upcoming album, the first one in a while.
- Maybe last year or the year before they released an album of electronica versions of their already-released songs.
- Wait, I'm supposed to be talking about their guitarist...
- He has big eyes.
- He often wears a Led Zeppelin tanktop during shows. I don't know if I should like or dislike him for this.
- He probably lists Jimmy Page as one of his inspirations, or rather, influences. I've never listened to Asking Alexandria, but he's probably nowhere near as good.
- I don't understand his band's name. Who is Alexandria, and what are they asking her?
- I don't think he was ever in jail.
- They act questionably and have strange hair for publicity, probably.
- Their style is probably around a midpoint between the literally disgusting theatricality of Black Veil Brides and the normalcy of what Sleeping With Sirens wear.
- I would talk about his band's lyrical content, but again, I've never heard a song by Asking Alexandria. They probably play so loud that it drowns out the vocals, anyway, and I don't think Mr. Bruce sings.
- He'll probably be at Warped Tour this year.
