KKKK "7 track debut from promising northen Genre-Mashers"

Begining life as a collaboration between a bunch of noise obsessed mancs and a couple of ibiza bound DJs, beecher are definately a band to watch.
Imagine if Lostprophets stopped throwing shapes for the camera and started listening to a lot of scream-core instead and you'd have some idea as to what
they are about. Like Pitchshifter, Beecher have a genuine appreciation of technology. "Resention is a big word..." (although not actually a word at all,
if we're going to split heirs) is a record bubbling with ideas, where live breakbeats sit alongside heavy guitars,screamed hardcore vocals and ambient FX.
"rise above grace" and "Resention" itself even have the kind of God-sized chorus so beloved of Linkin Park, yet with none of the cold corporate calculation.
The next big UK thing? Highly Possible!

Kerrang!

"A time-warped fusion of 80's thrash with NYHC speed core . Nuclear Assault meets the Cro Mags on PCP with Kerry King being used as a guitar bitch by George A Romero. Confused? Just a little frightened? Well add in the best bits of UKHC and Zombie samples and you are almost there"

"Furiously paced metal punk pop songs with a strong and powerful presentation - the guitar frets see more action than a Tesco Bacon Slicer "
