Sounds Like:
BELOVED BINGE: Other PlacesRubble pop rooted in punk pot infused with a hint of old Greek mountain village uprising.
Background BB Before Beloved Binge: Eleni grew up around classical musicians singing x-mas music harmonies with her mother on long trips to California. According to her mother, she sang “Frère Jacques†at age 3. On Dad-Day Sundays she listened to old Greek songs in a van played from an ash-covered tape recorder.
Rob picked up a guitar at 11 and promptly learned every Metallica song available. He grew up listening to the Beatles and the Doors, which explains his uncanny ability to sing “Riders in the Storm†at karaoke bars.
Community: Beloved Binge is motivated by those willing to strip down to nothing and flash them what’s inside. They also want to help reduce suffering brought on by modern agriculture.
Tour: Beloved Binge has returned from their tour of the Northeastern US and Greece in support of their new release Other Places. Current show/tour dates are posted above.
Type of Label: None
