Origins

The Beths- "Happy Unhappy" (official lyric video).

The Beths- "Happy Unhappy" (official lyric video).

Formed in 2016, the four members were jazz students at the University of Auckland bonded over their childhood love for Pop-punk.

[12]The band experiment with a warm, energetic sonic space between joyful hooks, sun-soaked harmonies, and acerbic lyrics.

[14]

All four members of The Beths studied Jazz at university, resulting in a toolkit of deft instrumental chops and tricked-out arrangements that operate on a level rarely found in guitar-pop.

[14]Beths guitarist and studio guru Jonathan Pearce (whose other acts as producer include recent Captured Tracks signing Wax Chattels) brings it all home with an approach that’s equal parts seasoned perfectionist and D.I.Y. [14]

Their debut album Future Me Hates Me forthcoming on Carpark Records will be out on August of 2018, with 10 tracks.

Front and center on these ten infectious tracks is lead singer and primary songwriter Elizabeth Stokes.

Stokes has previously worked in other genres within Auckland’s rich and varied music scene, recently playing in a folk outfit, but it was in exploring the angst-ridden sounds of her youth that she found her place.
