Oh look what we found!!
A load of screen printed original posters from 2012!!!
The first one was from a show at La Rontonde in Luxembourg (only 4 copies) and the second was our official tour poster by @mudwig for the ‘Monotour 2012’!!! There’s about 50 of these… well put them up online in our shop very soon >>>>
4 weeks ago today (Tuesday May 28th), @beakbristol released their 4th studio album ‘>>>>’
It was decided between the band and label that we would “drop” the album without any prior announcement, nor advance singles or teasers.
The plan was simple and straight forward. BEAK> have a new record out , if you’re into it & want to check it out - that’s great, it it’s not your thing that’s also fine .
4 weeks on - we’re fully aware there are supply issues . Meaning the demand for the vinyl has surpassed the supply. But this is being rectified as I type this post . Stock is due imminently & we already have more lined up after this next batch .
We’d like to thank every one that’s got behind the record , written nice words , spread the news, bought the record , listened to the record & enjoyed the record. It’s been a great 4 weeks & if you can’t get your hands on a copy currently - don’t worry you will get one very soon .
Thank you everyone for your support 👊🏼

It’s arrived! The @fourstringer1@thetourstories ep!!!Billy Fuller is a bass player and songwriter from Bristol, England. He has played bass guitar with many acts including Portishead, Massive Attack, Robert Plant and is a founding member of @beakbristol . Beak’s new
record, Beak>>>> (Beak 4), is available now via @invadarecords . Billy shares his early experience
of learning the bass by listening to his brother’s records and cassettes that he picked up at his
local petrol station, which ultimately became the root of his sound. We get Billy’s take on the famous “Bristol Sound”, overcoming “old tricks” when recording a new record and the relativity of bass guitar tone, supported by a story about the great Robbie Shakespeare. Billy walks us through the recording of the new record, how the Beak> writing process typically goes and specifically
how they put together the current single, The Seal. Billy and Joe finally publicly address their
Instagram beef and we hear a few hot numbers.

New video for ‘The Seal’ by Tom Geens is now up on the tube… link in the bio ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Here’s a few words from Tom about the video: ‘I fell in love with the house when I first laid eyes on it. It was falling apart but in a really beautiful way. It was begging for something to be shot there, but as it was going to get demolished soon, I had to act fast. The last time I worked with Beak was about 10 years ago on the exquisite soundtrack for my film COUPLE IN A HOLE and I felt their sound and the house were somehow a great match.” in love with the house when I first laid eyes on it.

We are keeping a close eye on the situation around Latitude festivals
ongoing relationship with Barclays.
We have signed a letter asking the festival to drop the bank due to their links with weapons firms involved in the genocide in Palestine.
Hopefully it will resove in a positive outcome where we don’t have to pull out. But if Latitude refuse to do so then we will be forced to pull out.
We will keep you informed… in solidarity & love.
