The Bennies – Better Off Dread (7 Inch Record) Review

The Bennies – Better Off Dread (7 Inch Record) – (Jackknife Music)

The Bennies are a Melbourne band who play high energy punk rock/ska and a fun party band live.  I have seen them play heaps of times and they always put on a good show.  There are four songs on this piece of vinyl two on each side.  Side one opens up with Mushroom Tea, a very catchy upbeat ska punk rock tune that will be no doubt will be a crowd favorite in the pit.  My Bike is just classic punk rock mixed with a dash pop, good solid tune that will no doubt again be a big hit in the pit.  Side two opens up with Better Of Dread a funky ska tune mixed with a dash of reggae, extremely catchy.
Return To 9-5 has a real hip hop influence to it and is remixed by Melbourne DJ Marto.  Also includes a guest rap verse courtesy of Ethan Del Carmen from Tassie band Phat Meegz.  This is a great 7 Inch record, these guys have always been a solid band.  Good tunes and good production will no doubt keep the fans happy and win them over some new ones.  This is worth your time.
