If CBGB, noise rock, and the garage revival had a 3 way, their unholy love child would be donned Piss with Style.   With loud, funky and emotionally charged songs, their influences span decades of rock n’ roll royalty, all while poetically creating gritty personal narratives, and grappling with both existential dread and urban decay.   The Twin Cities have resurrected Piss with Style to the fear and pleasure of everyone in their wake.

Specializing in tightly-constructed pop songs about the messiness of life, Ben Vogel lets loose with his intricate guitar-playing and distinctly vibrant voice.

Since he abandoned academia for the rock & roll life, Vogel has cooked up a unique take on power pop with subtle accent flavors that range from prog-rock to R&B. Imagine a harder-rocking Crowded House that occasionally edges into Daryl Hall territory.

Defiantly untethered to modern trends without being overtly retro, he truly makes “pop music for people who hate pop music.”

Originally (and proudly) hailing from Spokane, Ben is currently based in Minneapolis and is working on new material for 2026.
