:: Release Notes:
::
:: The latest release from Boston MA's critically acclaimed The
:: Beatings. Five new tracks of ass kicking indie art-rock.
:: Produced by Paul Q. Kolderie.
::
:: Boston, MA's The Beatings create intelligent, guitar-driven
:: art-rock, hailing back to the early 80's heyday of college
:: music. Building on a solid foundation of pop hooks and punk
:: sensibilities, The Beatings craft anthems that are
:: alternately literate, visceral and melancholic.
::
:: If Not Now, Then When? is the latest release in The Beatings'
:: catalogue, a precursor and companion to their forthcoming
:: full-length release this winter. Produced by Paul Q Kolderie
:: (prod. Radiohead, the Pixies, Hole) and recorded by Tim Shea
:: (formerly of Sub Pop's Green Magnet School) the album is a
:: quantum leap forward in The Beatings' sound.
::
:: The Beatings have forged an idiosyncratic path through
:: independent rock. DIY since their formation in Boston in
:: 1999, they have released three recordings through their
:: imprint, Midriff Records. Beginning with their debut EP 6 Hz
:: in 2001, The Beatings have received nearly unanimous critical
:: praise and have earned comparisons to the Pixies, Husker Du,
:: and Mission of Burma.
::
:: Their 2002 album Italiano received attention from the New
:: York Times, MOJO, and the Washington Post, which picked it
:: as the fifth best album of the year. Drifting seamlessly from
:: full-on studio production to lo-fi home recordings in a haze
:: of power chords and sonic oddities, Italiano was called a
:: "jarring, ambitious album" by the Boston Globe, and was
:: picked as the fifth best album of the year by the Washington
:: Post, which declared it "Rock as art, not just fun."
::
:: In August 2004, The Beatings finished recording the follow-up
:: full length to 2002's Italiano, with Paul Q. Kolderie at the
:: production reins. At the present time, the album's title and
:: release date are yet to be determined.
