BENEFITS

“There’s been a real sense of momentum with this band from the very start, a thirst for artistic progression and a hunger for innovation.” – Louder than War

Benefits released their widely acclaimed 2023 debut album “NAILS”, which landed in April last year as a passionate expression of anger and disillusionment about divisive, xenophobic, and toxic rhetoric, told through the filter of brutal, eviscerating music.

Prior to release, the band had generated a word of mouth following most artists can only dream of, and after catching the ear of Invada Records co-founder Geoff Barrow (as well as other high- profile fans such as the late great Steve Albini), the band released an album which delivered on all that early promise and then some. “NAILS” not only earned widespread press support and radio playlist spots, but it also appeared in album of the year lists from the likes of Louder Than War (#1), BBC Radio 6 Music, NME, The Quietus, The Line Of Best Fit, Loud & Quiet, Far Out, God Is In The TV, and more.

Benefits will make their AYL? Debut and we can’t wait for them to rattle the walls.
