Ben Godwin
"Skin and Bone"
Released in 2007
Ben Godwin is an artist from London whose Skin and Bone album reached the online radio station and found many spins on the station. It's a wildly creative album. He released a few albums in the 2000s.
I didn't know anything about Ben when this record came to my radio station, but from the opening track on it blew me away. It's kind of like a rock and roll record combined with musical theatre. It's unique.

Each year-end coverage of Makin Waves features "The Dirty Jersey Dozen," a list of the 12 indie Jersey music acts that made the most waves. Two bands that likely would be on the all-time Dirty Jersey list are Gigantic, a Jersey Shore trio inspired by the primal pop of The Pixies and Nirvana, and Alternative Tentacles recording act Buzzkill, also a trio from the days when New Brunswick was the state's best music scene.
