HENS BENS (Fife, Scotland) make pop music in BLOCK CAPITALS. They are not interested in being like other bands.

They don’t write songs about the same things as other bands. ARGUING WITH THE GUY FROM SLEAFORD MODS ON SOCIAL MEDIA is about arguing with the guy from Sleaford Mods on social media. FUCK OFF PHILIP is about a dispute with a small business owner. WEIRD A.I. YANKOVIC is about technological solutions to dickheads on the internet. PLEASE CAN HENS BENS SUPPORT DEVO was released as part of an unsolicited campaign to get on the bill for DEVO’s 2023 UK tour. It didn’t work.

Their shows aren’t like those by other bands. They incorporate fresh fruit, balloons and power tools. HENS BENS do not speak between songs, with the band instead relying on AI-generated crowd banter over which they have no control. There are LEDs attached to things. There are costume changes. The shows are a combination of loud noises and rainbow nonsense.

In 2023 HENS BENS found themselves on a number of end-of-year best-of lists, in places such as BBC 6 Music and The Herald. Success will not change HENS BENS. HENS BENS are highly-trained professionals.
