The Maddocks have carved a well-deserved place in the indie scene, and their latest single, “Benny Says,” solidifies their reputation as one of the most exciting up-and-coming bands in the UK. With its pulsating rhythms, swirling guitars, and an explosive crescendo, this track is a heady mix of post-punk grit and psychedelic flair that’s impossible to ignore.
The band—hailing from Stockport and consisting of George Edwards (vocals & lead guitar), Siobhán Lally (bass), Ed Gibbins (drums), and Alex Tollerfield (rhythm guitar)—channels influences from Fontaines D.C., Tame Impala, and The Strokes, while still managing to craft a sound distinctly their own. “Benny Says” is a testament to this: raw, rebellious, and brimming with unfiltered emotion. The song dives deep into the psyche of its protagonist, weaving a tale of self-reflection through layers of infectious melody and a rhythm section that commands attention.
The track’s high-octane energy isn’t just a studio creation—it has long been a standout in the band’s live performances, where it has become a crowd favorite since 2022. This energy is part of what sets The Maddocks apart; their live shows are electric, bursting with a palpable chemistry and a rare authenticity that makes their music resonate even more powerfully.
“Benny Says” also serves as a precursor to their forthcoming EP, The Mind Palace, hinting at a bold evolution in their sound. It’s clear that the band is unafraid to experiment, pushing boundaries while staying grounded in the gritty Northern ethos that has defined their music thus far. The Maddocks’ ability to balance experimentation with accessibility is particularly noteworthy, ensuring that their music connects deeply with both loyal fans and new listeners.
The single arrives at a pivotal moment for the band, as they prepare for their biggest headline show yet at Manchester Academy 3 in March 2025. If “Benny Says” is any indication, The Maddocks are poised to deliver not just an unforgettable performance but a lasting impact on the indie music landscape.
With its anthemic quality and euphoric energy, “Benny Says” is more than just a song—it’s a declaration of intent. The Maddocks are here, they’re evolving, and they’re ready to take 2025 by storm. If you’re looking for the next band to dominate your playlist, look no further.
