#Bentham was wild

[stripe-conlon]

Oh yeah! Tony Robinson covers it as part of an episode of Time Walks. Ask A Mortician has a video about Bentham himself that has me going “Bentham’s head!” Every time he’s mentioned in the podcast.

I had no idea it was inspired by a real thing, honestly the Panopticon as a concept is terrifying if you think about it. I had not realized it listening to the show but holy shit...

any bon clay nsfw hcs..

Boy do I 👀

They're a total pillow princess for sure, but they can be a service dom as well.

Loves eating pussy and sucking cock and they're good at both.

Very vocal and will tell you what they like and don't like. Moans so loud, but you know they're about to cum when they suddenly get quiet and start whimpering

Smaller than average cock, about 4 inches hard, 2.5 inches soft. Uncut for sure. They know how to use it though and when they fuck you, you definitely feel it

Cums a lot. Like a whole tablespoon per cumshot

Kinky as hell, loves pet play and bondage.

Loves voyeurism and exhibitionism and frequents sex parties and swingers clubs a lot

Doesn't shave hardly ever, just keeps everything neatly trimmed.

The Dirty Nil: Des Moines, Iowa – 6.22.24 show review and "Free Rein to Passions" album review

The Dirty Nil’s latest album, "Free Rein to Passions," is an explosive amalgamation of punk rawness, stadium rock grandeur, and metal intensity, all served with a hefty dose of tongue-in-cheek humor. Hailing from Ontario, the trio has once again proven their prowess in crafting infectious anthems that are as lyrically sharp as they are musically ferocious.

The album kicks off with "Celebration," a high-octane track that immediately sets the tone for what’s to come. The riffs are heavy, the drums relentless, and Luke Bentham’s vocals are as gritty as ever. The production quality is polished yet retains the raw edge that fans of The Dirty Nil have come to love. Each track is a testament to the band’s ability to blend different rock subgenres seamlessly. From the punk energy of "Undefeated" to the Anthemic metal-infused "Am I the Menace” the band showcases their versatility without losing their distinctive sound. "Free Rein to Passions" explores themes of rebellion, individuality, and the absurdity of modern life, all wrapped up in a package that doesn’t take itself too seriously. The humor is a vehicle for deeper commentary, making the album both thought-provoking and fun.

One of the band’s stand out features is their lyrics. The Dirty Nil has always had a knack for injecting humor into their music, and this album is no exception. In "Stupid Jobs," the band takes a jab at the monotony of everyday life with lines like, “No offense to my friends in the workforce / I’m just saying what we’re all thinking / Fuck’em.” It’s a humorous yet relatable take on the struggles of the modern working class, delivered with a sneer that only The Dirty Nil can pull off.

Another lyrical theme is positivity in the face of existential dread.  On the title track," Bentham sings, “’Cause if the powers that be / Drop the bomb on you and me / I’m gunna sing with a big old grin / What a beautiful life it’s been.” In “I am the Menace, Bentham declares “Do some living while you’re able / try not to be ungrateful for the gift of suffering / the light, the void, everything”  It’s this kind of clever, biting humor that elevates The Dirty Nil’s lyrics, making them not only entertaining but also memorable.

Like the album, their live show is a wild ride from start to finish, filled with headbanging anthems, razor-sharp wit, and infectious energy. It’s a must-listen for fans of punk, metal, and rock alike, offering a refreshing take on these genres with its unique blend of humor and intensity. Luke Bentham, sporting his signature guitar moves, commanded the stage with the swagger of a rock deity. His solos were electrifying, his riffs sharp and relentless, each note echoing through the packed venue with the power of a thousand amps. Bassist Sam Tomlinson and drummer Kyle Fisher provided a thunderous rhythm section that could have filled a venue ten times the size. The chemistry between the three was palpable, their synergy on full display as they powered through their setlist with the intensity of a band playing to a crowd of 60,000 rather than 500.

The Dirty Nil's set was a barrage of anthems and rock star moves that simply couldn't be contained. "Celebration" and "Am I the Menace" had the crowd jumping, their choruses designed for mass sing-alongs. Even in such a small space, the energy was immense, each song a call to arms for rock fans. The connection between the band and the audience was electric. When they launched into “Nicer Guy,” Bentham’s cheeky lyrics resonated with the crowd, particularly when Bentham sings “can I get an Amen?” to which the crowd responds, “Fuck you!”  This struck a chord with the audience, many of whom undoubtedly related to its humor and biting social commentary.

Whether playing to 500 or 60,000, The Dirty Nil performs with the same unrelenting passion and exuberance, making every show feel like a stadium rock show.

The Dirty Nil’s album and live show isn’t just music; it’s a celebration of the chaotic, the rebellious, and the downright fun.

While playing at Co-op Live in Manchester, Sam Fender's performance felt as though it was a personal conversation with each one of the 23,000 people in attendance. With the show's scope so massive, Fender never let himself become humbled out of an approachable presence. As the crowd let out in unison, singing along to his anthemic "whoah-oh-ohs," he bantered back with a flip comment: "Got some singers here, haven't we?" His self-deprecation and effortless charm made the cavernous venue feel like an intimate gathering at a local pub. Fender has gone from playing tiny, intimate venues to packing stadiums. The 30-year-old from North Shields has, in five years, come from being a budding talent to a festival mainstay and a stadium performer. Last night's first of two nights at Co-op Live felt almost like a cozy preview of the bigger world he now occupies. His early career as a barman in Newcastle has no doubt left its mark on his connection with his audience, and his music very often shows the personal strife and victory of his working-class roots. Raph_PH, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons One of the main reasons for his success is how he is able to take something deeply personal and turn it into a universally relatable anthem. Tracks such as "Seventeen Going Under" speak to really hard-hitting issues - the struggles of the benefits system, say - in raw, unflinching honesty. As the lyrics go, "I see my mother/the DWP see a number," he sings in that haunting line expressing frustration with the coldness of the system. His songs are not only about his own life but resonate in so much more people as Fender puts his heart and soul into every performance so his audience could draw their own meaning from his songs. Dead Boys" opens the night with an address to male suicide. Such a heavy subject somehow finds itself as an arena opener, and it shows Fender's skill for making somber themes live in such a way that their weight resonates with the audience. With this in mind, it was now time for everyone to soak up that weight as a crowd and begin the evening ahead. Fender's voice is full of passion and vulnerability; he previewed his next album, People Watching, which will come to the public in the next year. The title track off the album is a powerful anthem of Fender's signature sound. With lines like "somebody's darling's on the street tonight," it paints this stark, vivid image of broken society observed through the eye of a late-night trip home. The track captures the same gritty realism that has always defined Fender's music, taking a sweeping, almost cinematic look at the struggles of modern life. The same goes for "Nostalgia's Lie", which refuses to romanticize the past. The singer sounds, philosophically reflective, "these streets break my heart" while dismissing the comforting illusions of nostalgia. While these tracks displayed Fender's hallmark anthemic style, the set also had its quieter moments. Songs like "Wild Long Lie" and "Arm's Length" were much more introverted, but with the kind of soundscapes that would evoke the likes of The War on Drugs or fellow Geordie, Mark Knopfler. New addition to the band, Brooke Bentham, whom Fender has known since their busking days as teenagers, adds a new dimension to the live show. Bentham's vocals and guitar work brought a feminine feel to the group, balancing out Fender's passionate, gritty delivery. With night growing on, the setlist reached back to Fender's deep catalogue of work, including hits such as "Howdon Aldi Death Queue," with its punk-attack punch and the contemplative "Spit of You." One more that stands out is the incisive, pointed political commentary of "Hypersonic Missiles," capturing what may very well be the greatest characteristic in Fender's work, the ability to mesh the personal with the sociopolitical in a manner so relevant to his fans. Throughout the performance, Fender's minimal stage banter only seemed to add to his appeal. His emotional voice proved to blend so perfectly with the reserved undercurrent of his presence and create a magnetic atmosphere where the fans were engaged. The powerful sing-alongs that punctuated the night were a testament to the connection between the artist and his fans. The whole crowd seemed united by the catharsis of music, none more than at the chorus of "Seventeen Going Under" - an anthem for day-to-day struggles. It's that song that captures both heartbreak and resilience of ordinary life - and it was clear that the performance meant as much to the audience as it did to Fender. There was more to Sam Fender's shows than just being concerts-they were an emotional experience. He delivers the songs so passionately and truthfully that his fan base grows exponentially as does the loyalty. Co-op Live was the best demonstration of why he has become one of the biggest influencers in today's music world. Whether personal or societal, Fender speaks about his issues rawly and on a level that hits the bone. The fans feel his music, which he feeds off, in their bones, and he, through them, creates a great and very symbiotic connection. The performances are approaching, and for sure, he is not nearly done with his journey - there is the O2 performance in London. His upcoming album promises more of the poignant storytelling and cathartic soundscapes that have become his trademark. With each performance, he proves that, no matter the size of the venue, the music always comes first, and it's this honesty and passion that will continue to carry him to even greater heights.

I love the headcanon that Caul is trans cuz I’m all about inclusion, and I would do this myself, but being the British kid I am I can’t help but see Caul as the ultimate bloke in a way. He’s arrogant he’s misogynist he’s annoying he’s self centred and he wants to rule the world, he looks like someone you’d see at the pub on a Friday, his only redeeming features are his wild hair, fashion sense and personality but cuz of the rest I just can’t see him as anything other than an unbearable cis man that would harass people on the street😭 and anyway his name’s literally one letter off PAUL. And anyone born a woman would probably get why it’s good to have a matriarchy, like he wouldn’t be as jealous. The only way i see it if I were to write that for him is he’s steeped in LEAGUES of repression and internalised misogyny (because he hates the fact he used to be a girl) and all the other hatred comes from the fact his parents didn’t accept his identity, Also. Deadname

but to me it’s not that kind of hate, it doesn’t go as deep, he’s just an angry history nerd with a sense of extreme entitlement

And because I’ve considered this for him as well, his brother is like the stereotypical eccentric Victorian man with a questionable museum and somehow if he understood the trans and female experience I feel like he wouldn’t be so petty and immature, like he’d probably have sided with Alma way earlier

And any man who looks up to people like PT Barnum and Jeremy Bentham. … I’d be wary of lmao

Idk I’m trans myself, and I 100% love the headcanons but THEY’RE JUST SUCH BOYS to me, LADS that quarrel all the time

I can’t personally see them as anything but cis it’s hilarious really
