Benefits

Teesside's Benefits are a sonic Molotov cocktail, hurling incendiary truths at Britain's festering underbelly. Formed in 2019 by frontman Kingsley Hall and synth-sorcerer Robbie Major, this DIY duo fuse industrial noise, spoken word, punk, hip-hop, and electronica into a brutalist soundtrack of modern rage. Their 2023 debut, NAILS, was a raw howl against nationalism and apathy; 2025’s Constant Noise dials up the dancefloor while keeping the fury intact. Think Sleaford Mods meets Nine Inch Nails in a collapsing council estate. Uncompromising, political, and gloriously loud—Benefits are the soundtrack to the UK's slow-motion implosion.
Genres: Industrial, Noise Rock, Post-Punk, Spoken Word, Hip-Hop, Electronic, Political Punk.
