Benefits
Live at The Grace, London
Benefits are an issues-based music collective from Teesside in the North East of England.They write songs about the urgencies that concern them, and they play them loud.Forming in 2019 and consisting of Kingsley Hall on vocals, Robbie Major and Hugh Major onsynths and noise, and Jonny Snowball on drums they quickly evolved from afairly standardIDLES-lite shouty punk rock outfit to apoliticisedgroup that merges noise, hip hop,industrial rock, garageand an angry twitter feedto get it’s point across.A completely DIY outfit,(no management, no label, no PR) anddespite having zero radioplay (due to the nature of theirlyrics),through their releasesin 2021 they managed to gainfans as diverse as Sleaford Mods, Black Francis, Garbageand Elijah Woodas well as gettingasignificant feature inthe NME.The aim for 2022 is to take the anger away from the internet and perform it live on stage.
