Welcome to the roster local noise makers Benefits 🫡

Consisting of Kingsley Hall on vocals and Robbie Major on synths and noise, Benefits are a highly politicised group that merge noise, hardcore, hip hop, industrial rock, electronics and an angry social media feed to get their point across

With fans at NME, Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Louder than War and BBC 6 Music - Benefits’ upcoming second album “Constant Noise” hitting our ears in March is highly anticipated, and we’re made up to be working on it

Catch Benefits out on tour across the UK this spring 👉https://www.benefitstheband.com/live

It’s with great sadness that we announce the passing of our founder, mentor and friend John Esplen, after an 18 month battle with cancer.

John founded Wipe Out Music Publishing in 1996, in an effort the help the acts on his record label Overground Records. 28 years later, Wipe Out Music has flourished into a fully fledged music services company, which helps local, national and international artists build their careers.

John was an encyclopaedic knowledge of all things music, and wasn’t afraid to make his opinions heard. However, he was kind, thoughtful, patient and generous, right to the very end.

The Wipe Out team are determined to build on his legacy and will continue his ethos of hard work, determination and ambition in everything we do. John left us a business that is perfectly poised to really make a difference for the North East, and that’s exactly what we intend on doing.

We love you John. Rest in peace,

Liam, Matt, Brent, Bradley and Pippa x

Wipe Out Music Live Lounges: Ceitidh Mac - Heliotrope 🌱

Another day another Live Lounge! To follow up Ruth's gorgeous cover of Ceitidh Mac's track, we've got another live session from the alt folk cellist, this time her original track Heliotrope off her recent EP "seabird" 🕊️

Ceitidh says about the track: “‘Heliotrope’ is a word used to describe a flower that turns to follow the sun.. like a Sunflower.. Helios being the name of the Sun god in Greek Mythology. We’re so connected to the sun. We need it.. it lifts us when we see it or feel it on our skin.. But there’s another side to the heat. This track was written in a heatwave.. Thinking about the future and our part in it”. Check out the rest of Ceitidh's EP - you won't regret it 😁
