Brisbane based indie-rock trio Bean Magazine have inserted themselves as one’s to watch, and today have announced they’ve signed with Purple Phase – a joint venture with Warner Music Australia. Alongside the signing announcement they’ve shared the blissfully sun-soaked new single Old Or Young. Produced by Sam Cromack from Ball Park Music, the track shares a lighter side of their artistry with their catchiest hook yet smoothly intertwined.
“We feel so lucky to be given this opportunity. It’s been a dream we’ve all shared from the beginning to secure our first record deal, and the experience so far has been nothing short of gorgeous. Flying to Sydney and meeting the team from Purple Phase and from Warner Music didn’t even feel real. I even got to try my first ever oyster!” says bassist Seb Baren of the signing.
Taken from their forthcoming EP ‘In The Shade’ out Thursday 19 September, Old Or Young joins recent singles Chicken and 3 which gives listeners a bold taste of what is to come from the hyped newcomers.
Henry Creamer (guitars and vocals), Gabrielle Beiers (drums) and Seb Baren (bass) effortlessly blend punk energy, sensitive lyrical sensibilities and classic rock riffs within this EP to create songs that will never leave your head, and you’re immediately going to be obsessed.
“We’ve been sitting on this body of work for ‘In The Shade for a while now and are so excited for it to see the light of day. When we brought these songs to our producer, Sam over a year ago he immediately expressed similar levels of excitement. Old or Young particularly feels nostalgic to us and delivers an immense feeling of home. The EP as a whole encompasses everything we have been as a band since the beginning and we want everyone to love it just as much as we do” Seb explains.
Bean Magazine are currently on the road supporting Rum Jungle on their regional QLD tour which wraps this weekend in Mackay, Townsville, and Cairns. They will then showcase at BIGSOUND in Brisbane, before joining The Rubens on their national Australian tour throughout September and October which will see them wowing crowds in Tasmania, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, and Perth.
Bean Magazine have already noted themselves as an impressive live band, with Good Call Live noting “Henry Creamer hits the mic with the gusto of an enraged grunge idol from the 90’s, spraying an energy straight from the get go… the crowd has some new faces, all of which are in awe of what just occurred”. Cutting their teeth in the vibrant Brisbane music scene, they’ve headlined iconic venues like The Brightside, Felons Barrel Hall and The Outpost to sold out crowds, and opened for bands like Ball Park Music.
