BENZOKAYN provide raucous riffs, big beats, sublime solos & rhythmic rhymes with an exuberant & vivacious live show to match! We have performed up and down the UK (almost anywhere from Leicester to Hastings) managing to encompass respected London venues such as The Underworld in Camden and Highbury's The Garage (Upstairs) in our touring cycles.
Sharing a common disgust for the current state of the music industry, we hold a desire to not conform to it's latest trends. We have a mutual respect for one another's diverse tastes but our influences as a collective reflect a handful of our heroes ranging from the likes of Rage Against the Machine to Sum 41. In layman's terms: we fuse together elements of the Nu-Metal and Skate Punk eras that dominated our adolescence whilst attempting to create our own sound.
Since our inception BENZOKAYN has also been fortunate enough to share a stage with some of the finest artists the independent circuit has to offer, including: Pakistani Hip-Hop emcee ADIL OMAR, Kent's Trance-Metal pioneers SILENT DESCENT, South-East Dance-Rockers GO-ZILLA, London's Metalcore stalwarts DEATH REMAINS, Kentish Djentlemen SUBVERSION & Eastbourne Alt-Rockers CITY OF ASHES. We like it heavy but we like it catchy too!
