The Bennies

There are two bands called The Bennies. 1. The Bennies are a four piece band from Melbourne, Australia who have been together since 2009. While they are inspired by the likes of The Clash, Sublime and Rancid, The Bennies consider themselves a party band. Elements of hip-hop, psychedelia, metal and pop also influence the band into their own fun loving style. The Bennies breathe new life into the ska/punk genre by performing with extreme energy, enthusiasm and an unbashful love to party.

King Tide

KING TIDE was formed in early 2004 after a successful reggae jam between vocalist Tony Hughes and ‘toaster’ Sean Collins. During a live show in Sydney, the band was spotted by advertising executives who asked them to record a cover of Toots and the Maytals’ “Broadway Jungle” for a Sony TV ad campaign. The band released the cover as a full length single ‘No Dog War’, which received national airplay.
