Benefits are an issues based music collective from Teesside in the North East of England who write songs about the urgencies that concern us all. The core of the band consists of Kingsley Chapman (ex Chapman Family) on vocals and guitars, Robbie Major on synthesiser noise, and Jonny Snowball on drums. “Marlboro Hundreds” was rush released to coincide with the imminent general election. It’s a state of the nation rant and a plea for people to recognise their individuality and significance, and to rally against hate speech and Britain’s current flirtation with fascism. Benefits can be found on Facebook, Soundcloud and Twitter You can stream ‘Marlboro Hundreds‘ here and view the video below
