Ben Barnes on His Debut Album, Stephen King's The Institute, and His Villainous Image

From playing a wannabe rock star in Killing Bono to actually becoming one, Ben Barnes has taken the long road to his debut album, Where the Light Gets In. He talks with Kyle Meredith about his first full-blown tour, the soul and storytelling behind his music, and whether he still Googles his own lyrics to make sure he didn’t accidentally steal them. Oh, and he drops a Dickens reference because, of course, he does. Plus, he reflects on playing The Punisher’s villain, stepping into the world of Stephen King’s The Institute, and how Almost Famous totally lied about tour life.
