Forming in 2019 and consisting of Kingsley Hall on vocals and Robbie Majoron synths, beats and noise, Benefits quickly evolved into a group that aims to merge noise, house, hip hop, industrial rock, electronica, and an angry social media feed to get it’s point across. A resolutely DIY outfit they have managed to gain fans as diverse as Sleaford Mods, Steve Albini, Black Francis, Garbage, Jehnny Beth and Elijah Wood as well as getting significant features in the NME, Rolling Stone, the Guardian, and the Quietus. In 2023 they released their debut album “NAILS” on Invada Records which garnered significant critical acclaim as well as numerous album of the year nods, most significantly from Louder Than War magazine and BBC 6 music. An inspiring, loud and formidable live outfit they kept the momentum going with their follow up album, “Constant Noise”, which topped the list of best reviewed albums in the world when released in March 2025
