Benefits - Missiles
A man on the tv says missiles are firing,
and interrupts my social thread.
Alerts on my phone. A few more hundred dead.
Passing a flowerbed, a car hisses by,
electric, rich, maybe cries in a lay by.
But there’s no rubble, no chaos, no fires here,
No death, no fear, or war
Just a bit of dogshit on my shoe and rumoured plans for another cheap superstore.
And maybe they’ll level some trees?
The price we pay for our western ease,
Comfortably numbed, fed, watered and pleased.
We applaud ourselves, and laugh, and cheer
We applaud ourselves, and laugh, and cheer
We moan and clamour, brag to the world,
Another pointless boast unfurled.
And I’m appalled by my own triviality
How I get lured into it all,
raging ...

Benefits feat. Peter Doherty - Relentless

Relentless feat. Peter Doherty is out now lnk.to/Rlntl55 Taken from our new album Constant Noise, released 21st March 2025 on Invada Records. You tell yourself it’s never too late. That there’ll always be a chance. That thin layer of romance. As you dig deeper down into that grave. Tired of being brave for the new wave, And it’s tough I know, Endlessly hearing I told you so, it's relentless, So...

Just satellite town has beens, Twitching at the fucking flatscreen, Flat capped, whippetted, Regionally voiceovered, Filling up the comments box, Last of the summer whining, Meat cheeked antiques.

Benefits - Middlesbrough
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.Год назад
Middlesbrough is our home. It's where many in the band have lived and worked for years. You know the Boro, a Teesside town that emerged during the Industrial Revolution to become a global powerhouse in the iron and steel industries. With rapid growth comes consequences. Boom and bust. And more bust. And a League Cup win. And bust again. It's still home though and yeah, it's fine to look back on...

Benefits - Stockton
Просмотров 3,5 тыс.Год назад
Originally broadcast on Steve Lamacq's BBC6music show on Thursday 2nd February 2023 as part of their Independent Venue Week coverage. We were asked to do a simple audio tour guide for the town of Stockton-on-Tees - where Lamacq was broadcasting from that night. Stockton is where Kingsley was born and raised so we decided to make it vaguely poetic and have Robbie and Hugh add a soundtrack. It’s ...

How long did you queue for? Did you bring sandwiches? Marmalade ones? Yeah I know. Me too. You courtesy or bow or both? Salute. Military? Na, me neither. What you wearing? Black? Mostly. But comfy. Going out after. Maybe a show. You in a group? On my own. Quiet reflection. Duty. History. Service. Five miles. Six when we started. Maybe more. And it was raining. And it was night. Somber. Damp.

Is this a song?
Another video about isn't teesside brilliant
This one is the top of it, just absolutely fucking nailed it
@@jamesleonardhewitson thanks so much James, genuinely nice to hear from you. Hope you had a nice Xmas.
Love it.
Disturbingly brilliant
Perfect. Great video, lyrics and music. Emotional ride that 👏🏼
Hell yes
Love the wink to David Lynch in this video.
You know this shit. Well done! Happy Xmas.
Love this!!
A new level of intensity for Benefits. Absolutely excellent
Another one made th hairs on the back of my neck stand up lads. Spot on.
Brilliant
Stunning
Praise The Lord
This is awesome! Cant stop playing it!
What is it tho
Nailed it
Class tune, premiere on xmas eve. Brave.
Tune? Is it music? It's more poetry than it is music
You ever thought about putting your time and energy in to things you enjoy instead of trying to bring others down? Why are you even here if you don't like them.
@Tehchapster what did I say to bring anyone down?
Love it. Well done you two
Superb.
Merry fucking Christmas anorl
Fantastic, well done, Kingsley and Robbie!
💣
Christmas spirits
Fckn superb
Well, that was a bit gorgeous. Well done, lads, and a Merry Christmas to you, and all 🎅🏼
Benefits keep making big progress in their songwriting.lets hope for more in 2025.❤
Hopefully in 2025 they will progress to actually writing a song I stead of spoken word stuff about being from boro
@Tony-vf9zu It's pretty clear with this third negative reply of yours to people's comments on here that you're into trolling. If their stuff isn't to your taste, seriously, why bother commenting to offer nothing but negativity? Instead, maybe fuck-off from RUclips for a while and do something a little more productive with your day. Merry Christmas, anyway.
Powerful stuff lads gorgeous synth work robbie.😊
Love this. I look back on growing up in Middlesbrough with a painful nostalgia and yearning yet a relief that I left. Raised and lived in South Bank up until late 2015.
That's such large head
They have pedals and a set list on stage Hahahahahaha
It's not Alan Vega/Suicide who wants!
I feel sorry for Abbey Road studios
Amazing that this is the finished mastered version
Baxter Dury vibes,,,,
Is this Saltburn-by-the-Sea?
It is aye!! Ran around it when lockdown was at its peak!
Not sure what you guys have but don't stop. Since I saw you at barrowlands I've realised your Britain's best band in the last 20 years. Keep on keeping on
Ah mate that's really kind thank you! New album coming out next March, back up in Glasgow at the Rum Shack late April, come!
Alright lads?
@@finctank haha!! Shakk steals it!
What a pile off shit
#IcelandicAirwaves
Awesome stuff, guys. Really digging the new direction. Bring on the new album!
Can anyone tell me literally any word that Peter said
I'm sure he said Stockton
@finctank okay so we have one word that's a good start
Even when you press subtitles it doesn't even help hahahaha
@@Tony-vf9zu hi Tony, I’ve explained this elsewhere but what we did with Peter was get him to harmonise with the chorus and then improvise over the verses in a kinda jazz way. He responds to most of the lyrics in the second verse, so there’s stuff about films, Stockton, calming down etc. It’s almost like an echo. We wanted to do something different to Peters usual collabs and duets, plus we didn’t have a great deal of time either. We did what we could with the time we had, (which wasn’t much).
@@Benefitstheband harmonise? You can't hear him Can you tell me the lyrics please
You just keep getting better and better with every release, my dads from the Boro and I found your stuff looking for Teeside artists and love it, showed my dad too hes in his 70s now and loves it too. UTB
This is a tune! 👌
Class. Is that a real drum machine? Hats sound amazing.
@@aaronrip32 yep!
The pose at the end is Chef's Kiss. 😉
@@th3odor3ofcorsica glad you noticed!!
Saw you in Nottingham. Can't wait for the album and the tours. Smashing it up. What a tune I need this in my life. Thank you 😎
Brilliant stuff! A nod to the Libertines album cover at the end there, too.. 👌
Yes!! Someone noticed!!! Thank you!
omg the shakk cameo
Ha! Glad you noticed! Love a bita Shakk!
I'll have me some of that
