Check out the new album ‘Art Religion & Chocolate Biscuits’ from Pete Bentham & The Dinner Ladies (Nine x Nine Records)!
“Scouse art-punk collective, PETE BENTHAM & THE DINNER LADIES, are back with their newest record Art, Religion & Chocolate Biscuits. As the name would suggest, the record is something that juggles topics both fun and serious where one moment you’re smiling and laughing along to silly stories, the next you find yourself feeling emotional and connected to deeply personal lyrics. The subject matter itself is a nod to Pete Bentham’s upbringing on a council estate in Widnes and his experiences regarding the people he knew, the heavily religious community and, of course, chocolate biscuits. For anyone to open up about personal experiences and struggles, and then to have people relate, is a highly regarded skill. But to do that plus also have people also smiling and laughing along is just exceptional… A gem of a punk record to make you smile about life. It’s a standout amongst this year’s album releases.”
