Heart Beach - Best




1.    Who? 

Best Beach are a scuzzy pop band from Hobart, Australia, who play out of Montreal, Canada, at the moment. Best (April’18) is a track from their second album Haircut (Nov’17).


2. What?

Best is an indie pop song that opens with a lone bubbling bass intro, then supported with choral voices and backed up with some excoriating guitar.  The guitar provides a thrilling counterpoint to the sunshine and beach vibe, adding depth and excitement. A layered cake of aural textures, sweet and sour.


3. Who do Heart Beach sound like?


Tunabunny. They have been compared to Galaxie 500 and Echo and the Bunnymen.


4. What words have been written about Heart Beach?


“Oddly and often wonderfully uplifting” – The Guardian.
“A simple aesthetic” – Rolling Stone. 
“Possesses a down-hearted grandeur” – The Guardian. 





5. Which bands have influenced Heart Beach?

East Brunswick All Girls Choir, The Native Cats, Drunk Elk, The Bad Luck Charms, and Batrider.


6. Why should I listen to Best?

Because you have a love for Antipodean indie pop. Because you like your music off-centre. 


7. Do Heart Beach have anymore good'uns?

Perfect. 


8. Anything extra?


The band have a Manchester/Joy Division vibe on the bass at times.




Radkey are a classic rock/punk rock band from St. Joseph, Missouri. The three brothers have been playing together since 2010 and have one album to their name. Radkey are influenced by bands like Wolfmother, Misfits, and Jimi Hendrix. Not Smart (Dec'17) is a stand alone single and Yesterdaze News called it,  “…a power-riffing rock’n’roll phenomenon.” It's like Joan Jett meets Weezer.
