Beat Strings
Biography
The Beat Strings breathe new life into the musical mantra of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Sexual grittiness, the longing of sensuality, hints of substance references, and the foundation of rock and roll are impressions left upon a listener. These concepts and feelings have been carefully created by the influence of each member, and the experiences they have been through in life and in the band.
The Beat Strings offer a mixed bag of rock nuggets spanning the indie, glam and post-punk scenes. Singer Adam Bolts has an intriguingly offbeat warble that often veers into falsetto, anchored by punchy bass lines and frenzied super chunky guitar riffs. Variety is the name of the game, venturing into cabaret, folk and many other less common genres.

Continued From Above
to the Cure, only no one bothered learning any Cure songs. The weird thing is, it kinda works-in part because the songs are really good, whether rocking a runaway-train beat with reckless abandon on "The Truth" or letting Bolt's Falsetto take the wheel on "In the Night." A twangy surf guitar underscores the meloncholy "Mornings Were Never Good To You," while on "Lose a Disguise" it allows you to finally hear what would have happened if Pixies had recruited Smith and carried on without Black Francis." 4 out of 5 stars.
