Benefits sign to Invada Records and announce debut album NAILS

"Warhorse" is the group's first release since their "Thump" single landed in October 2022, and is accompanied by a Andy Berriman-directed video.

Lead vocalist Kingsley Hall says of the new single, "I love punk, I love cartoon punk, I think it’s brilliant. Sometimes we get all that ‘you’re not shit, you’re not punk.’ Bullshit! Yes we are."

He adds, "At some point if the boot continues to stamp on us, we’re going to react. Things bug me. They start as little irks and become fiercer. It can take days, sometimes minutes. The phrase “cost of living” being blurted out by an MP when confronted with the poverty of their constituents. Simpering and grovelling to decrepit hierarchical systems. Pageantry and pomp in a time of austerity and cuts. "Warhorse" is a battle. It’s about being tired of being told there’s no options left - being told to bow and courtesy and to shut your face. "Warhorse" is about the need to push that boot back from our faces, raise our heads, stand up and fight."
