Wrote a song, made a video Did not get to support DEVO Paid £2 to message Jerry on Cameo Did not get to support DEVO -- We made a lot of calls We had a solid plan We did a trial run With a DEVO tribute band We never heard a 'no' We got as far as maybes If we see some other band up there We will cry like babies -- Talked about and played on the radio Did not get to support DEVO Tried hard, didn't work out though Did not get to support DEVO -- Spoke to the promoter We spoke to DEVO's agent Josh was very nice We waited, we were patient It was worth a shot It was worth a try If they pick someone else Those lucky guys

about

MAXIMUM OVERBUSINESS is a collection of HENS BENS' 2023 singles and b-sides.

It features recent single FUCK OFF PHILIP, live favourites WEIRD A.I. YANKOVIC and SENSITIVE MAN, and the band's bold but ultimately unsuccessful DEVO-bothering single PLEASE CAN HENS BENS SUPPORT DEVO, as well as its sad piano follow up DID NOT GET TO SUPPORT DEVO.
