first released tracks

The group’s first released tracks, a double A-side in June 2012, were “Flying to Berlin” and “Husbands” on the Pop Noire label. The Guardian wrote: “Husbands makes us dream of what it must have been like to have been around to hear, in real time, the debut releases by Public Image Ltd , Magazine , Siouxsie and the Banshees and Joy Division , to feel, as those incredible records hit the shops, that unearthly power and sense of a transmission from a satellite reality.” Similarly, Beat magazine described Beth’s performance as ” Ian Curtis –esque spasmodic shakes and urgent guttural vocals from the Siouxsie Sioux school of noise.” In October, their concert at the CMJ Music Marathon in New York received good reviews. The Chicago Reader noted that their set was “influenced by Siouxsie & the Banshees, but with an anthemic quality that makes me think of PJ Harvey and heavy doses of the rhythmic jaggedness and angularity of British postpunk.” The group expressed their liking for these bands, and added: “We listened to a lot of different music […] Our influences are male and female in equal measure.”
