BEN KATZMAN + BIKINI BODY // The Cumberland Arms

Ben Katzman is a vibrant, multifaceted musician who treats music not just as entertainment, but as transformation. A fan-favorite finalist on Survivor, Ben has carved out a singular lane as a solo metal artist whose mission goes far beyond the stage: to use sound, art, and his signature SHREDDING as tools to process emotion, spark empowerment, and help build the reality we actually want to live in.
Bikini Body are your favourite DJ’s favourite punk band. They’ve released two records with Optimo Music, whose support helped shape their current trajectory and a sound that’s dancier than punk and punkier than dance. Drawing on ESG, Liquid Liquid, Warmduscher and Squid, their sound pairs percussive grooves with a confrontational vocal style rooted in The Slits, Bush Tetras and X-Ray Spex.
