B&E

"Watching B&E, you wouldn't be at all surprised to hear they'd landed a record deal next week. Nor would you blink an eye if they went back to their day jobs and put the instruments on the shelf." - PlaybackSTL --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



B&E is the band you haven’t heard, but you should.



A five-piece rock n’ roll monstrosity, B&E delivers post-indie, post-punk, post-pop, post-garage rock full of hooks and licks.



30-second band history: B&E started as a duo in late ’05 that set out to conquer the dive-bar circuit, with the first show being at a bar called J&A's. After adding a drummer, B&E played some more bars and quickly entered the studio to record their debut acoustic record, ‘We Regret Everything' (produced by Jason Hutto at Smokin' Baby Studios).



Shortly after the ‘06 album release, B&E decided to plug in their guitars and revamp their lineup—that meant a new drummer, bassist and lead guitarist.



In ‘07-'08 B&E hit-up St. Louis with their new sound playing all over the city.



Finally, in June '09 the new album 'Chords To Live By' released, dropped, was put out there!



You can find a copy on CDBaby, Vintage Vinyl, iTunes and of course at one of our gigs.

"The album delivers twelve funny, cynical rock songs full of supercharged guitars and knowing winks; in fact, the Hold Steady's Craig Finn will be pissed that B&E wrote a song called "Killer Riff" before he did." - RFT Review of 'Chords To Live By' --------------------



"From track one, I was immediately thrown into a raging pulse of rock goodness. Too bad I was driving, as I tend to have a lead foot when listening to this kind of fast, easy and cheap rock.Brendan Corcoran, the lead singer, wrings out as much treble as he can from his voice, sounding a bit like Jello Biafra might have first thing in the morning circa 1978. The rest of the band punches out a solid accompaniment of crackle and crunch minced with an almost inaudible thread of tasty underlying buzz." - Dakota Punk Review of 'Chords To Live By' -------------------------------------



"The music is good — poppy, a little gritty. Witness the centerpiece "Pop Rox," a great two-minute song about summer love gone sour." - RFT Review of 'we regret everything'
