In a world gone mad, a nationwide scandal has emerged where people are now trying to ‘Ban the Beers’. With less than no experience, The Bennies garner the support of the people and are forced to enter the slimey world of Australian politics. Change is coming. There will be mistakes. Don’t let anyone kill your dreams.
That is the message behind The Bennies’ new single ‘Dreamkillers’ which comes with one hell of an epic video featuring the band on the campaign trail. Shout out to the team that helped with the vid: Thomas Elliott, Ben Anderson, Josh Hanson, Josh Kerr and Charlie Jepson. Watch the video below.
‘Dreamkillers’ is taken from Natural Born Chillers, The Bennies’ latest album out today on Pool House Records / Remote Control.
Recorded with Sam Johnson (The Smith Street Band, The Hard Aches, Camp Cope) lyrically and sonically it’s their most focused and mature work, but still manages to maintain the fun and enthusiasm that has built their fan base worldwide.
To celebrate the release, The Bennies hit Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane this weekend for free entry all ages in-stores and small cap evening shows before they play a run of Australian festivals and head to Europe for 30 + dates. Full tour dates and ticket details below.
