Reviewing Benefits’ gig in London last month, NME said: “For all the rage, thereās a lot of heart on display too. Towards the end of the set, Kingsley Hall speaks of years of being overwhelmed by āanxiety, stress and fearā and how the only way he can get over it is by admitting it.
“āItās a bit like Alcoholics Anonymous,ā he says, but at more eardrum-threatening volumes. It may have been an exorcism for him, but tonight is a wake up call for everyone else. Stand out, stand up, be heard: donāt let the fuckers keep you down.”
Speaking toĀ NMEĀ last summer, Hall said that he didnāt want Benefitsā live gigs to seem āhalf-arsedā but rather āan explosion of power and angerā. He added: āWe donāt have anyone editing us or telling us what to do.ā
