1. Who are these slippery characters?
Beverly are an indie pop rock duo from Brooklyn, New
York. They have been making sweet music together since 2013 and have one long
player to brag about Careers (2014). Victoria (Jan’16) is the second single from Beverly’s second album Blue Swell (May’16).
4. What have the cut and paste bandits said about Victoria?
“Ethereal
vocals float along waves of gently distorted guitars” – Other Pop.
“Low-fi
dream pop anthem” – Vocododo.
5. Which bands influence Beverly?
The bands that inspire Beverly are George Harrison, The
Amps, The Breeders, Pavement and The Smashing Pumpkins. Throw in R.E.M. Robyn, Stereolab and Broadcast to be a completist.
6. Why should I give Victoria a fling?
Victoria is special for the gritty lead guitar lines Kip Berman throws off like a benevolent king throwing gold coins to the huddled masses and are juxtaposed with the saccharine sweet vocals of Frankie Rose. Victoria pops out of the playlist like a teenagers hard on to demand your attention.
7. Do Beverly have any more shiners?
Can a Catholic priest keep their hands off the altar boy?
8. Any more good gossip on about Beverly?
Frankie Rose has worked on TV and movie music in Los Angeles and her favorite place to play a gig is Washington DC because of the diversity of people and the closeknit community.
“Sometimes
you catch a fish and you let it swim”
Slippery seconds is from The Automatic, a Welsh alternative rock band that started
in 1998. The Automatic are influenced by Jarcrew, Muse and Blur and recorded three
albums before calling it quits in 2010. Monster
(2006) was The Automatic’s one huge hit and came off their debut album,
becoming a bit of an albatross around their neck. NME said Monster is a song
that “boasts a hook that could disembowel a whale” and was “the catchiest indie
hit of the summer.” A song about the monster coming out of people who drink and
drug too much Monster is a classic.
“What's that coming over
the hill?
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?”
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?”
