About Me

BERYL BELOVED is a two-man/one-machine alternative outfit based in Colorado, which retains even today the melodic, full-bodied spirit of post-punk and eighties-era gothic rock. Their impressionistic, lyric-focused songs draw from predecessors like Bauhaus and the Southern Death Cult, merging intricate but uncomplicated progressions together with their own brand of storytelling.
There are the songs, of course, which have always spoken for themselves. Since the summer of 2009, Beryl Beloved have nourished a sound that is markedly different - free from formula, and yet full of pop sensibilities. Every release is a display of the theatrical bent, elegance, raw energy, tongue-in-cheek, and spontaneity that remains a signature mark of Beloved's work.
Beryl Beloved's songs have charted various internet radio stations, and the innovative singles "Bought & Sold" and "Down Low" have received FM radio play on the Kansas City new wave show Retro Red-Eye Express.
MySpace fans are encouraged to look for Bulletins frequently. Future information on gig dates, newly finished tracks, songs in progress, and media/press appearances are always imminent.
