SCREAMLINEBEATRIFF IS
Imagine a band that has no boundries, that doesnt sell themselves to the public interest, and can truly jam out. Take that band, and add a huge range of genres and musical backgrounds. You get Screamlinebeatriff. You might tell yourself, "they need to shorten their name", who cares, whats in a name anyhow. we all have care free attitudes, except saira which cares about flippin everything, and we all desperately love music. F our image, Who cares. Wooohooh listen to the muzak. Get a kick out of it if you want. have a good day.
"Oh lord grant us one more hour to perfect our art" -Jim Morrison
"We love to play live. We are definitely a live band. After one of our shows you could hear people whispering under theirbreath that they can feel an energy that is sweeping under them while we play. People come up to us asking us how we gotso good and literally want autographs, which is ridiculous especially at this stage in our career. We want to play musicfrom our hearts and we're willing to go down and out to do that. We're all best friends and its quite a connection when weplay together.We're a musician's band and I'm sure we'll get at least five minutes from all the big ones now." - Jive (thebeat)

About Saira:"
I grew up around my parents playing and gigging and am excited to start doing it myself.
I began playing the guitar at 11. My first chord was a Dmaj. It
felt so foreign in my hand that day and it's funny to think that mere years later my guitar would be an extention ofmyself.
I've been making music all my life and liken it to crying or laughing. It's a way of expressing many of my basic
emotions; emotions that if I didn't express I would be unhealthy.

About Julious:
Julious Jive can be called the heart of Screamlinebeatriff. He plays the drums and sometimes rhythm guitar, does backingvocals, writes music and words, and fronts a majority of the bands budget as well as other resources. His abilities don'tstop with his instruments as he has a creative mind as he relays concepts to the band to materialize. He fostered themechanics of such brain children as what later became "The Hold" and "Drift Away".
"The majority of my time is spent thinking about the band. Its my life support. All I'll ever need. The music is soimportant, Its really the most important thing for me right now in this world. My ambition is forever entwined with themusic, It acts as a catalyst and precipitates my life. I reflect on the world that I carry within myself to create my art.Its a beautiful cycle. The most important thing in life is love, to give love, and to be loved. You are beautiful Thank youfor reading and listening.
'Any good music must be an innovation.' Les Baxter"
