The single lands a day ahead of their highly anticipated debut album \u2018NAILS\u2019, which is released via Invada Records (BEAK>, Billy Nomates, and more).<br><br>The track follows the release of the album\u2019s lead single <em><a href=\"https:\/\/prescriptionpr.cmail20.com\/t\/j-l-eiylykt-ejlihlkhu-i\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Warhorse<\/a><\/em>, a pummelling yet danceable track described by frontman Kingsley Hall as \u201c<em>an iron fist in a velvet glove.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>The track ignited the fuse for the album\u2019s release in late-Feb, earning fervent plaudits from the bands dedicated fanbase, as well as landing a daytime playlist from BBC Radio 6 Music, and attracting press coverage from the likes of Rolling Stone UK, NME, the Quietus, Dork, DIY, The Line Of Best Fit, CLASH, Louder, and more.\u00a0<br><br>The latest preview of their new album <em>What More Do You Want<\/em>, sees Hall\u2019s nimble vocals spar and duet against spartan free jazz percussion. The track is inspired by the band\u2019s live improvisations with Hall recording the vocals without any accompaniment or backing as a performance poem before sending onto the band to perform over with the only instruction being that it needed to build in intensity. The result is a tense and powerful track that builds into a crushing cacophony of noise around Hall\u2019s lyrics about toxic patriotism.<br><br>The single is also accompanied by a captivating new video which sees the band in a derelict building amongst union jack flags, British party foods, and celebratory decorations, which they destroy as the track develops.

It&#8217;s one of the noisiest songs we&#8217;ve ever constructed, completely designed with a brutal sonic impact in mind. Dale&#8217;s drums clang and clatter in a really beautiful way, they&#8217;re harsh and heavy but there&#8217;s a melody to them. Hugh and Robbie hurl giant slabs of noise into the mix and it all builds to be a monster. Despite the chaos, this is probably Benefits in our purest, noisiest form.&#8221;<\/em><br><br>In support of their new album Benefits will also head out on a headline UK tour in April, which will come ahead of early festival dates across the EU and UK.

Over lockdown they morphed from spirited guitar-led punks into overwhelmingly brutal harsh noise-wielders, whose furious, eviscerating music garnered them the kind of word of mouth following most artists can only dream of. Frontman Kingsley Hall\u2019s spoken (and screamed) vocals acting as a righteous rebuke to the divisive, xenophobic, poisonous rhetoric coming from elsewhere, spread by those who stand to profit from the fallout, that had all but overwhelmed our public discourse.<br><br>Every time one of the band\u2019s bracing polemics arrived it would spread rapidly across social media like an antidote to that disease and gather more to Benefits\u2019 cause. High profile fans like Steve Albini, Sleaford Mods and Modeselektor were among those on board from the off. Effusive coverage from the likes of\u00a0<em>NME, The Quietus, Loud &amp; Quiet\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<em>The Guardian<\/em>\u00a0and more<em>\u00a0<\/em>soon followed. Through it all, the outfit remained staunchly DIY, operating entirely without a label, press team or industry leg-ups.<br><br>Now, however, they are stepping things up a level, signing to esteemed indie imprint Invada who will release their debut album \u2018NAILS\u2019\u00a0on April 21.\u00a0<em>\u201cWe could have released a record at any point over the last couple of years but held back because I wanted to wait until the right people came along,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Hall says. The label\u2019s co-founder Geoff Barrow of Portishead was one of the many who\u2019d been drawn to the music as it made waves online, and when he came to see the group perform live in his native Bristol was immediately hooked. His faith in the band has been repaid and then some, producing a record that not only confirms the group\u2019s brilliance, but also redefines what you thought was possible. It captures all of that validating rage that established them one of the most exciting acts in the country \u2013 skull crushing fan favourites \u2018Flag\u2019, \u2018Empire\u2019 and \u2018Meat Teeth\u2019 are all present and correct \u2013 but also pushes their sound into bold new territory, both sonically and emotionally.<br><br>Take lead single <em>Warhorse<\/em> for instance. A playful riposte to those whose limited musical horizons have seen them question the band\u2019s \u2018punk\u2019 credentials, the band gathered a series of drum fills aping the likes of the Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned, and transformed them into a relentless, inherently danceable electro banger.\u00a0<em>\u201cI love punk, I love cartoon punk, I think it\u2019s brilliant,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Hall says.\u00a0<em>\u201cSometimes we get all that \u2018you\u2019re not shit, you\u2019re not punk.\u2019 Bullshit! Yes we are.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>He also, however, knows that sometimes the best way to deliver his kind of message is to get people moving, hence the intensified focus on pure rhythm on both that track and last October\u2019s relentless standalone single <em>Thump<\/em>.\u00a0<em>\u201cAt the end of the day, as important as it is to comment on poverty, the far right, social inequality, we do want to make it entertaining for everyone too.\u201d<\/em><br><br>Then again, those who\u2019ve been wise enough to catch Benefits\u2019 live shows over the last couple of years will understand there are plenty of strings to the group\u2019s bow. Onstage, Hall uses his intense presence to express not only rage but vulnerability too \u2013 an ownership of his own nervousness and awkwardness, and a self-effacing sense of humour.\u00a0<em>\u201cThat typical angry rockstar shit, I find that really difficult and kind of obnoxious,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he says.\u00a0<em>\u201cDuring the shows I try to talk about how you can be strong, how we\u2019re all vulnerable, but we can use that power, and ultimately we can win.\u201d<\/em><br><br>\u2018NAILS\u2019 is a record that is often so loud your speakers will fray at the edge of all-out collapse, but for all the noise its most striking moment of all is when Hall leans directly into that vulnerability. On closing track <em>Council Rust<\/em>, the music transforms into a beautiful swell of ambient electronics and strings, Hall drawing his voice in to an intimate inner monologue that muses on past, present and future with astonishing existential depth.<em>\u00a0<\/em>It closes off a record that, taken as a whole, presents an opportunity to take stock of how broad Benefits\u2019 discography now stands.<br><br>The album might end in bold new territory, but it opens with a track from the project\u2019s earliest days, 2019\u2019s direct assault <em>Marlboro Hundreds<\/em>. On the journey from one to the other, what becomes clear is just how integral Hall\u2019s bandmates have been. Along with brothers Robbie and Hugh Major, who have been with him from the beginning, and for whom we can be grateful for the more excoriating electronics, a succession of drummers has each brought out something new. \u2018NAILS\u2019 most prominently features Dale Frost, who recorded the punk-aping drum fills from \u2018Warhorse\u2019, and forms one half of a remarkable pairing on new track <em>What More Do You Want<\/em>. When it comes to the group\u2019s live evolution, meanwhile, the addition of former Mogwai drummer Cat Myers \u2013 now a full-time member \u2013 has been, as Hall puts it,\u00a0<em>\u201cabsolutely unbelievable. She\u2019s absolutely dragged us up another level. I just can\u2019t wait to start writing new music with her.\u201d<\/em><br><br>It says a lot about Benefits\u2019 approach that, with this defining document of the first four years now wrapped up, their focus is already set on what comes next. It\u2019s a mindset, Hall says, that reflects an aspect of their home region that\u2019s often overlooked. For better or worse, he says,\u00a0<em>\u201cthe North East has always been modernist, even though it\u2019s often painted as a backwards-looking area. It was at the forefront of steel-making and chemical works technology; a lot of the buildings are 60s and 70s concrete things. The way we try and articulate our messages is in a modernist way too. We\u2019re not trying to hark back to Britpop or Arctic Monkeys B-sides.\u201d<\/em><br><br>The message of Benefits\u2019 songs has often been presented as somewhat synonymous with their particular corner of Britain \u2013 the heart of the so-called \u2018Red Wall\u2019 that flipped from Labour to the Conservative party in the 2019 general election, and one of the most significant strongholds of Leave voters during the Brexit referendum three years prior. To some extent, that\u2019s true, Hall admits,\u00a0<em>\u201cbut we\u2019re not trying to be poster boys for the North East. All these places have these difficulties, it\u2019s a national problem.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>It\u2019s hard to imagine Benefits\u2019 music resonating to quite the degree it has done, were there not a universality to it all.<br><br>Ultimately, it\u2019s Benefits\u2019 inclusivity that is their defining feature.\u00a0<em>\u201cObviously we want to play bigger and bigger gigs, I want to play Glastonbury and get on to Jools Holland, but it\u2019s not just about getting a pat on the back,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Hall explains. \u201c<em>I think the point of the band isn\u2019t just about us having a record or showing off on stage; it\u2019s about trying to do something that gets to people. To try and get people to believe in themselves and stop being battered down by modern Britain. Benefits has always been a vehicle to be pissed off, and we want to show that there\u2019s that voice, that it\u2019s alright to be angry and frustrated. That there\u2019s people out there who feel the same way.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i3.cmail20.com\/ei\/j\/1C\/12F\/58C\/172842\/csfinal\/INV294_BenefitsNails_Sleeve-9900000000079e3c.jpeg\" alt=\"Benefits Nails cover artwork\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u2018NAILS\u2019 <strong>track list<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
