Ben Kweller

He may only be 30, but Ben Kweller's already been around the block a few times. After nearly hitting the big time as a teenager in late-'90s hype band Radish, he got his solo career off to a strong start when debut single 'Wasted & Ready' became a radio hit in 2002. But maturity hasn't come easily, and Kweller seemed to have lost his way when he drifted into alt. country territory on 2009's Changing Horses. Thankfully, he's returned to the power-pop that he does best on new album Go Fly a Kite, which comes out on his own The Noise Company label.
