Ben Poole Releases New Single “No Second Chances” from Upcoming Album “Post-Midnight Behaviour”

by | Jul 3, 2026

Post-Midnight Behaviour is Ben Poole’s first studio album of new material in eight years, following 2018’s critically acclaimed Time Has Come. Rooted in blues rock, it also explores new musical ground.

Released by Gypsy Soul Records on Friday September 25, 2026, the album is available to pre-order on CD and vinyl HERE and to pre-save digitally HERE.

Released Friday July 3rd, first single “No Second Chances” is available on all streaming platforms HERE.

Venturing into broader musical territory, Ben embraces a more laid-back sound shaped by subtle rock grooves and hooks that flare like shooting stars. Expressive without excess and memorable without distraction, it leaves a deep impression without ever overwhelming the listener. In short, it is the perfect soundtrack for Post-Midnight Behaviour.
 

“I wanted this album to showcase my evolution as guitarist and singer songwriter,” says Ben. “For several years, I have performed over 150 shows a year across more than 20 countries. My guitar style and technique have developed, my singing voice has matured, and my influences have varied. The new album is a journey that combines Blues, Rock, Soul, Country, and Alternative Rock. I still get to let loose on the guitar, but within a more subdued and reflective manner. Ambiance inspired the name of the album, Post-Midnight Behaviour.”

“I have released a few live albums in recent years. They are much quicker and a time stamp on where you are at that moment. I took my time over the new album so that it would be super-realised in every aspect. My writing team and I really pushed ourselves. We dug deep to make sure the songwriting was of the highest quality and the arrangements were carefully structured and perfectly executed. My fans are going to really like what we have created. It was well worth the wait!”
