John Tracy. Pure Beanius.
Check out the demo for John Tracy, the debut single by new Brit band, Beanius taken from their forthcoming album, 'The Folly of Five'. Beanius was formed by Matt Bean, 21 year old son of one of my sailing mates, earlier this year.
In my opinion (and what do I know?!?!), it's The Killers meet Muse and well worth a listen, especially the chorus about John Tracy. Great to sing along to in the car!
Having checked out their MySpace page, it's already being picked up on, and although they're unsigned at the moment, I suspect, not for very long... Along with Matt on lead guitar is Scott Evanson on lead vocals, and Doug (Matt's younger brother) is the drummer. The bassist has currently not been named.
As Matt says, "Never more than 4 Beanius are born..." Genius. Watch out Razorlight. (ps - their website isn't up yet, I think it goes live on June 16th, when they release John Tracy)
