Benefits - Thump

[@JJ62]

Brutal as ever. As an old bastard this reminds me of Throbbing Gristle, only with more aggression, if that’s possible.

[@leonjones6978]

I've listened to all of you've guys have displayed on youtube. I am hooked. Traitors was my introduction, and my autistic fixation fav at the moment is thump. Reminds of a political uk Whitehouse, the power electronics band. DEMONS!!!!!!!!!! ❤

[@Benefitstheband]

Thanks Leon!! Appreciate this!

[@scottpauloneill6046]

I hardly ever write on youtube but cant believe I didnt know about these before they played leeds! Bring on bearded theory!

[@junglie]

I'm addicted to you stuff already, so good to know someone speaks the truth ........

[@daveyzane1192]

The outro lyrics are great. Real, hang in there feeling, which a lot of people really need now. Nice one.

[@automatedluxury932]

Buzzing to see a new tune, feels like a ballad after the last few. Perfect balance of lyrics and noise again.

[@masterofallhesurveys]

Ace again. You guys matter .

[@optrirominiluikus]

[@SoundSista222]

Can't hear the lyrics on this one but I bet they're fab

[@gigteevee6118]

Brexitechnorock Rules!!!

[@aa-kv2pb]

I'll be honest i don't like the music, i like the shirelles, but i love your message

[@Benefitstheband]

Fair enough. I actually really like the music of the Shirelles but can't stand their lyrics! *joke!

[@Noisehead101]

Not much authenticity here. Just a wannabe. First in some interpol rip off band, then some sonic youth wannabe band, then some other unoriginal band and now wearing tracksuits and seeming like some Sleaford Mods spin off. Why not try something authentic?

[@Benefitstheband]

Hi pal, fair enough. The Interpol and sonic youth bands were the same band and were way over a decade ago. You probably won't want to but if you get the chance have listen to the album, it's not all Poundland Sleaford Mods, there's blast beats and ambient stuff snuck in there too. I don't expect to change your mind on us, that's absolutely fine, but honestly, if this was a wannabe project there'd be much, much easier ways to go about it. Anyway, cheers for the comment and have a nice day.

[@Noisehead101]

@@Benefitstheband I'll give it a listen, good luck.

[@Benefitstheband]

@@Noisehead101 Thanks, thats good of you, as I said, I'm not trying to change your mind on any of this, you can think how you want, it's totally fine. Years ago I'd have flown off the handle and been a prick about it but it was a lifetime ago. Lots of things have happened, not all good. Yeah I've been in bands before but it was ages ago, can't delete the past. I get the SM thing with some of our earlier songs, but we've definitely tried to shift away from that - to become more authentic I suppose. I think both bands have similar endpoints and rhetoric admittedly but we're trying to find a different way of getting there. As I said, totally cool if you still have the same conclusions. Learnt long ago that you can't please everyone in this business, quite right too.
