Ben Wallers

As well as Country Teasers, Wallers records under the moniker The Rebel.[1] Most of the recordings, which are largely abridged musical interpretations of arcane and proper historical text, have not seen official release (several for the reason that they are "not masterpieces").[4] Before 1998 The Rebel was not known as The Walrus, but was named Walrus after the Wallers family name.[5] The name 'The Rebel' is a reference and homage to the 1961 film starring Tony Hancock. Ben Wallers represents himself by a symbol called a Spakenkreuz, which is a swastika with a broken (or 'spastic') arm, bent backwards to cross over the previous arm. As far as he is aware, he invented this symbol.[6]

Active between 2000 and 2007, The Beale consisted of Adrian Shaw (of The Teenbeat), Ben Wallers, Leighton Crook (Country Teasers/Rebel drummer), Paul Kearney (owner of Guided Missile Recordings) Peter Hart and Ben Pestell. They released a six-song mini-album titled "21 Years in Kranj", two singles for Guided Missile, and appeared on four compilations.[8]

Skills on Ampex is a joint project between The Invisible Hand, a tapes project by artist (and Teaser) Robert McNeill,[9] and The Rebel/Benedict R. Wallers.[10]

The Stallion originated as a musical entity composed of Wallers and Country Teasers guitarist Alastair J. R. MacKinven, which specialized in covers.[5]

The company is a London recording project involving Amir Shoat and Ben Wallers.[11] Between Autumn 2001 and Spring 2002 they recorded a 99-song album which was then distilled into a twelve-track 12" LP in 2007 and released as Side Three of The Moon on Difficult Time in Mental Jail Records[12]

At the turn of the century Ben Wallers was also the vocalist in The Black Poodle who played regular concerts at The Foundry in Old Street, London. The band was the brainchild of Joel Cahen and Amir Shoat, who invited Wallers to collaborate at the concerts by improvising on vocals, guitar and saxophone, which material they would manipulate live.

A three-piece group led by Wallers that has only gigged occasionally during the 2000s. They released an album, The Devil, in 2013.[1]
