Ben Jorgensen (Armor For Sleep) announces new band
Wednesday, November 4, 2009 at 9:18PM 
So less then a week after it was formally announced that the members of Armor For Sleep had gone their seperate ways, Ben Jorgensen reveals his new band God Loves A Challenge to the world.
The phrase "God Loves a Challenge" was scribbled almost illegibly on a bathroom wall at a dingy New York City bar when Ben Jorgensen, former singer/songwriter of Armor for Sleep saw it and committed it to memory. "It seemed interesting to me that a drunken wall-scribbler was contemplating such deep thoughts". God Loves a Challenge as a musical entity was conceived when Ben wanted to write songs that incorporated both the male and female side of the emotional spectrum. He and Sierra Shardae connected when Sierra sent him some of her own music which fell in line with exactly what he was doing. From the deserts outside of Los Angeles to the concrete jungle of Jersey City she traveled, and tracking of what would become the first songs began. Production whiz Jayson DeZuzio heard the early demos and immediately signed on to work on the tracks and bring them to life. Soon after he was enlisted into service as a full-time member. Drawing from early synth outfits like Depeche Mode and Human League as well as contemporary acts such as Nine Inch Nails and The Knife, G.L.A.C. finds it's musical footing. Ranging from dancey songs about intoxicating first encounters to cinematic songs about life-crushing heart-break, each tells it's own story and has it's own voice. God Loves a Challenge is new to the world and ready to open it's eyes to whatever future it will create for itself.

I love AFS... and I just found out today they broke up when I was lookin up a video on youtube and read some comments.. lol I had no idea!! So I heard about this new band of Ben's and thought I'd check it out and the first song I heard was "First Fake Love" which I actually liked! Haven't heard the rest. But I do support his decision and I don't think he's selling out.
