Benefits 'Constant Noise'

'Constant Noise' finds Benefits pushing their searing political noise into unexpected new territory. Following the explosive debut 'Nails', this second album arrives not as a follow-up, but a reinvention—angry, yes, but vibrant in its disgust. Now operating as a two-piece, Kingsley Hall and Robbie Major channel fury through industrial pulses, ambient textures, and dance-inflected rhythms, creating a sonic landscape that's both confrontational and surprisingly euphoric in its chaos.

Collaborations with artists like Peter Doherty, Zera Tønin, Neil Cooper (Therapy?), and rapper Shakk bring new layers to the band’s sound, while producers James Welsh and James Adrian Brown help forge a future-facing vision. From the pounding bass of 'Land of the Tyrants' to the slow-burning menace of 'Relentless', 'Constant Noise' reflects a band retooled and refocused—still railing against xenophobia, division, and disillusionment, but now with colour, scope, and a broader sonic arsenal. This is protest music as catharsis, movement, and defiant joy.
