Press Reviews INPRESS Magazine - Review of a gig at the Rochester Castle Hotel, Fitzroy by Catherine Haridy. "We Melburnians don't know just how lucky we are with our thriving music scene....Saturday night was a good example of what can be sampled in our midst. benny., youngsters with a passion for punk rock, showcased their fine fare to a swelling crowd and they rocked the room. With convincing tunes like Judgmental Hypocrite, Looking Out For Me and Benny, the foursome displayed the ability to perform like pros over a seventeen song set. In true punk style the songs were short, sweet and simple with booming drums, tricky bass lines cutting guitar solos and great lead vocals. Between song chat was kept to a minimum and music was truly the subject of the evening. Passion in live performance is everything, and benny. oozed with enthusiasm."
