They formed in 2001 in Korea and released a Six-Track EP along with tracks on two other compilations, then in late 2004 a traffic accident caused the drummer to quit and the band fell apart.
Despite his band leaving him, Ben (singer/guitarist) dug in to finish their first album. After releasing the Old Shoes album, Ben struggled, yet kept the band alive. Although there were some members changed throughout 2006-07, Benzene was able to release one split album and a single EP (Give Me “Straight”).
In 2008, Ben moved to Los Angeles and luckily met current bass player Neil Wayne and drummer Jeff Houser. Neil is a So-Cal Native who moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in music. With great ambition, Neil joined Benzene in early 2009, just a few months before Ben met drummer Jeff Houser while surfing Redondo Beach. Jeff instantly became a vital and crucial member thus unifying the trio perfectly.
Quickly after reforming the band in the US, Benzene hit the bars and clubs playing anywhere and everywhere they could. Already playing larger venues like The Brixton, and playing with punk legend’s like Guttermouth and The Briggs, Benzene has started to build its reputation among the Punk Rock community in the So-Cal area.
In 2010 the band released their first EP together titled “June 15th” which is a strong testament to their punk rock roots. With new songs constantly on the way and more inspiration than ever, Benzene is definitely in it for the long haul, proving they can battle through the hardships and will always be eager to take the next step.
Singing in the Rain
Benzene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain
Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain

Dear Benson Boone,
I extend my deepest sympathies to you for the profound loss you've experienced. I am truly sorry for the pain you are going through. In sharing this message, I also want to express how your song has become a source of healing and solace for me. Each lyric resonates with my own emotions, providing an outlet for the immense grief
I've been carrying since the loss of my beloved big sister, my only sibling, to a devastating heart disease a year and a half ago.
She was 37 years old, she leaves a little one-year-old baby, her husband, my parents and me in immeasurable grief.
In the aftermath of her passing, I found myself adrift, losing not only my bearings but also my faith. The overwhelming sense of isolation became a constant companion, making it difficult to articulate the magnitude of my pain. However, your eloquent and poignant words have provided me with the ability to express the inexpressible. Through your magnificent lyrics, I have found a voice for my sorrow.
Reading the comments and realizing that others share similar sentiments has created a sense of community that has eased my loneliness. Simply put, your song has given me the comfort of knowing that I am not alone in my struggles. For this, I want to convey my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for creating music that speaks to the depths of our emotions and connects us in our shared experiences of loss and healing.
With sincere appreciation,
Love ♥

Lyrics🎉🎉
Sunday mornings were your favorite
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek Road
You did your hair up like you were famous
Even though it's only church where we were goin'
Now, Sunday mornings, I just sleep in
It's like I buried my faith with you
I'm screamin' at a God I don't know if I believe in
'Cause I don't know what else I can do
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces
Diggin' through your old birthday letters
A crumpled 20 still in the box
I don't think that I could ever find a way to spend it
Even if it's the last 20 that I've got, oh
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever
And now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
And left the rest in pieces
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), holdin' on (on)
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), holdin' on (on)
I'm still holdin' (on), holdin' (on), I'm still holdin' on (on)
I'm still, ooh, still holdin' on
I'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and gone (ooh)
I don't wanna say goodbye, 'cause this one means forever (ooh)
Now you're in the stars and six-feet's never felt so far
Here I am alone between the heavens and the embers
Oh, it hurts so hard
For a million different reasons
You took the best of my heart
Left the rest in pieces
