Forming in 2019 and consisting of Kingsley Hall on vocals and Robbie Major on synths and noise, Benefits quickly evolved into a highly politicised group that aims to merge noise, hardcore, hip hop, industrial rock, electronica, and an angry twitter feed to get its point across.

A resolutely DIY outfit they have managed to gain fans as diverse as Sleaford Mods, Steve Albini, Black Francis, Garbage, Billy Bragg and Elijah Wood as well as getting significant features in the NME, Rolling Stone, the Guardian, and the Quietus.

In 2023 they released their abrasive 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 BBC6music.

An inspiring, loud and formidable live outfit, they aim to keep the momentum going from their debut as they prepare to release the follow up.

“Teesside noise punks offer up horror and futility on this stark and essential debut” NME ★★★★ 

“A stunningly intense listen… it’s a record that introduces a stunning voice, a righteous message, and further reinforces Invada Records’ place as a pivotal stable for outsider voices” CLASH (8/10) 

“One of the most profound records of this year, maybe even this decade. Authentic, furious, and absolutely vital… Benefits is the band Britain needs right now” FAR OUT MAGAZINE (Album of The Week)
