Stockport’s own The Maddocks are back, charging ahead with their explosive new single, “Benny Says”. Known for their fusion of post-punk grit and psychedelic textures, the four-piece is poised to take their place among indie’s elite with this anthemic new offering.
“Benny Says” captures the band’s raw energy and knack for storytelling, chronicling the inner turmoil of its protagonist with a mix of vulnerability and grit. A pulsating rhythm drives the track forward, while layers of swirling guitars build toward a euphoric crescendo. It’s a song meant to be felt as much as heard, a crowd-pleaser that has already made waves in live performances.
The Maddocks’ sound is a kaleidoscope of influences—think Fontaines D.C. meets Tame Impala, with a splash of the unruly charm of The Strokes. But what sets them apart is their ability to take familiar elements and mould them into something distinctly their own.
With a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-thinking, The Maddocks are redefining what it means to be a modern indie band. “Benny Says” is a testament to their versatility and creativity—a track that’s as unpredictable as it is unforgettable.
“Benny Says” is a rallying cry from a band on the rise. Keep your ears to the ground—The Maddocks are just getting started.
