Although the old adage of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" is something that Oklahoma four-piece Ben Quad knew before they began making their new EP, Ephemera, they decided to wholeheartedly ignore it. Since forming in 2018, the band - Sam Wegrzynski (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Henry Shields (backing vocals/bass), Edgar Viveros (lead guitar) and Isaac Young (drums) - have released three split EPs and their 2022 debut album, I'm Scared That's All There Is. Those records, alongside tours with Hot Mulligan, Arms Length and Forests have helped establish Ben Quad as one of the emo/indie/punk bands around-a hybrid all those scenes and sounds that works incredibly well, both live and on record.
