Beards


Myspace | Last.fm | Label
Channelling unnatural punk forces from beyond, Leeds' Beards are the outsider-pop twin of a bastard daughter of Units and kleenex. a girl-boy-girl synth-guitar sandwich, the group have built on Erase-Errata / Minutemen-esque virtuoso playing and injected a pop disease into the choruses. the result is a fierce record with lashings of hooks and propulsion. their signature track, for example, is a synth-punk knee bleeder, while 'Drive Time' is the sound of am radio if you were on a rocket to the planet WTF? Their album is out on homespun weirdo label Ouse alongside Please.
