Hey, I am almost positive it is, but does Ben do the backing vocals for "Now and Then" by the Prom?
I have not seen this mentioned anywhere...

come on, i know some hard core Barsukian knows this....

it first appears at 45 seconds left in the song. He backs the actually words "Now and Then". mary, its on itunes.
to be honest i pretty much KNOW it's him, but have never seen it mentioned, which i found odd. If it isn't, then its a clone.

Well, I can see how you would think that is Ben...but it could definitely also be someone else. And the fact that no one knows about it further proves that its probably not him.

but for some reason i can't hear it being any one else... at the end of the song, man, that has to be him

what? yeah i know. i just bought it on itunes. i was just trying to get it free... i hear nothing at 45 seconds. towards the end, it kind of sounds like him. i dont know. the 'yep' at the end sounds exactly like him. good song though, thanks for makin me buy it.
the lead singer says "now and then", then ben, or his clone, doubles it in the background.

so I finally found a hard copy of the album in Seattle. I found it used at Easy Street after going to every single record store in the city. However, no mention of a guest vocalist, however it seems they were pressed for money and the booklet doesn't give much information at all really. No lyrics,etc.
I may message Wall and pray for a response, because I know it's not a big deal but it's driving me mad.

Well i decided that it is Ben. I thought that it couldn't be Ben at first because i thought that it would definitely be announced by Ben or something, then i realized that this was made in 2001, which explains the lack of information about it. However, you can even here Ben at the end say "Is that it?" It is him.

Official answer: It is Ben doing the back-up vocals. I Myspace messaged Walla, and he confirmed it.
