I feel like this guy should be slightly more popular

ROAR YOUTUBE SPAM!!

Yeah, this is a local artist from where I live, and it's a shame to me just how little amount of attention he has gotten. He's pretty damn good and has a awesome voice.

Quite a beard he has. Not a fan of that type of music, but he definitely has an awesome voice.

So... Youtube spam.

Like you said.

He does have a large beard, so he's halfway of becoming a famous indie artist.

Everyone seems to know at least one smaller artist that should get more attention.

I agree he is good and not the same cookie cutter kind of singer that seems to pop up on youtube all the time.

The voice is pretty alright. It's like he's stretching for a Tom Waits thing in places, especially on the first track but the lack of a severe rasp is killing it for me a little.

Second song is real cool though.

Wow, I can't believe this man exists in the real, non-ficitonal world and not like... a Lemony Snickets book. Or a west-end musical. 
 
EDIT- ok now I'm watching the second one and oh it's just some dude.

Dwarf-core.

This explains a lot.

His voice is so damn deep! It's a shame I hate acoustic music...

Not to mention the glasses. Give him a soft spoken London accent and there'd be no stopping the gushing stream of fans ;P But anyway this guy is pretty great. The top song is like something out of a Viking movie directed by Tim Burton.

Oh, this guy is from Halifax! I'm from Newfoundland.

I feel a lot of things should be more popular, but I don't go forcing it down people's throats on their favourite website. 
 
PUNK.

I really, really, did not like the first song. The second one was just OK.

I would pay money for a mod that adds the first one in Skyrim's taverns.

I'm trying to imagine a Viking movie directed by Tim Burton. My brains are being shattered to pieces.

That bum needs a shower more than he needs popularity

This guy is 25 going on 70.

So, Youtube spam.

what the fuck was that first song? reminded me a little of the song about Gaston from Beauty and the Beast

My thoughts are similar. If I did know anybody that was into this kind of music I would recommend him for sure. I love giving attention to people that deserve it.

Yeah, thought he was old but his skin looks young. Did i quick google but couldn't find his age.

EDIT: not a big fan of his voice or songs.

Dude's damn good.

I actually like it...

Just imagine a gloomy Johnny Depp wearing a horned helmet with a beard and you're halfway there.

That first song was fucking awesome. I am going to bookmark this for later.

Seconded. @CL60, do you have a link to where you can purchase his music? I found Stranger on the Southern Souls website but I didn't see any others.

Being self-aware that you're posting Youtube spam does not make it okay bud.

I think you can get his stuff on his website http://bencaplan.ca/ Or at least some of it.

Pfft. That beard is nothing. I know of a little ol' band from Texas with way better beards.

Your beard... EDIT: rookie mistake :(

Great artist. Missed his last show because of the flu.

Boring.

Third song is the best. The dude is alright. I like my band better

I really dig he second song real kool stuff nthe first one was bombastic in a good way he has a real talent with his writing the voice is a matter of taste but I like it sounds kool especially the second one

*his voice especially the* iPad sucks at posting shit lol

You're beard...

No, dude, you're beard.

That first song is just awful. If you show people this guy to people again you shouldn't start with that because it's really off putting especially when that second song is great.

First song makes me feel like I'm suddenly in early 1920s Russia.

Huh-uh. You ARE BEARD.

What's with all the douches calling out youtube spam? I guess it can be hard to come up with a better comment when you're surfing for off-topics to not like and trying to come up with anything to raise your post count.

What was the name of the guy that Giantbomb met at California Extreme that is a solo artist?

Wellp, if the OP's going to call it YouTube spam, then I guess that makes my job easy!
