AMAZING FRIDAY LIVE BAND SESSION
We’re BEACH BØNES; A high-energy, exciting, punk rock band from London. Our aim is to make music that we want to play live in the sweatiest shows possible. Founded by Beau McCarthy and Jack Purbrick long-time friends who were in different bands growing up until they finally decided to put their similar tastes to good use. After Beau got kicked out of the States and his Californian punk band All My Friends Hate Me disintegrated he was desperate to find a way back on stage. After a couple of sessions with Jack he knew they could bring the heat. Recruiting Paul, the stereotypically crazy bassist and the token American, and Sam, equally stereotypically cynical and quick witted guitarist.

FRENCH EXITFrench Exit are a 4 piece alt-rock band based in South East London, which formed in January of 2023 and made a fast start, playing shows across London, including notable slots at the Windmill in association with YOWL, the Half Moon and Strongroom. The band’s debut release, Still, was written and recorded late in 2023 with the session engineered by Christopher Smith and the mix coming from Cadien Lake James of Chicago’s Twin Peaks. So far in 2024, the band has performed regularly across London and been busy in the studio working on plenty more material. “It’s really really powerful. I like that very much indeed. It’s catchy but also it’s got that pathos about it as well. Great track. Really good track.” — BBC Introducing on ‘Still’ “Those who enjoy South London’s bustling music scene will discover a parallel with post-punk favourites such as Shame in Still’s composition. The track exudes a raw, energetic vibe that evokes memories of the Brixton heroes. Yet despite being influenced by its predecessors, French Exit still stand tall amongst their alternative peers.” — Right Chord Music on ‘Still’
