About: "The bespectacled local guitarist Ben Greenberg has always had a proclivity for harsh discordance, be it with the caustic hardcore trio Pygmy Shrews or the brutal avant-garde acts Little Women and Zs. His new instrumental solo project, Hubble, finds Greenberg maniacally noodling through celestial, finger-tapped riffs with little more than a guitar and a basic loop station. It’s a touch more accessible than his past work, and allows his well-honed virtuosity to shine through." - The New Yorker "It doesn't really matter what state you're in, if your town is in America and remotely large, you've probably seen Ben Greenberg play at some point. From the likes of such shredding punk bands as Pygmy Shrews, Cutter, or The Fugue to the techy and undefinable Zs, Little Women, and Archaeopteryx, massive amounts of touring (and bands) have established Ben as one of the best underground guitarists you can see live. HUBBLE is his new solo project: guitar, a couple pedals, and two loud amps. When you watch him perform parts from the album-length piece, one of the most striking things is realizing how excited you are to watch someone play guitar that can really fucking play. And makes rad, new music!!!" - Terroreyes.tv
