A heroic third album from Scotland’s finest.

Judging by the title of their third proper album, The Beta Band are still recovering from that moment when they famously declared their debut album (which followed their much lauded Three EPs) to be “shit”. Fortunately, this seems to have given the band a burning desire to prove to the world that they are actually as good as we all thought they were. Heroes To Zeroes refines that trademark Beta Band sound: soft vocals, pounding drums and the understated but slightly twisted sense of melody. Their third album is far from “shit” and much more “hero” than “zero”.


Matt Walton 23 April 04 rating of 4
The Beta Band – Heroes To Zeros, released 26 April 04 on Regal.
