"Debut single 'Good To Go' out now!!!"


Beatnic Prestige hit the ground running in 2009 with a full blown nationwide tour promoting their debut, self-titled EP. Twenty or so dates saw them travel the length of Britain, from Elgin to London.

Our debut single 'GOOD TO GO' has just been released on itunes. We are having a single launch party on May 22nd at Velocity in Dunfermline. Tickets are available from ticketweb and 3rd Base record store. Check the blog on how to get in fro free.

In our first two years together we racked up around 150 gigs, selling out shows in our home town Dunfermline, King Tuts in Glasgow and The Old Blue Last, London. We recently set up a promotions company, Weekend Revolution, which has helped to regenerate the Dunfermline music scene.

  • 'THROUGH THE DECADES' @ PJ's - Fri June 26th

    Hullo

    We host and perform 'THROUGH THE DECADES' at PJ Molloys in Dunfermline next Fiday, June 26th. Basically we'll be playing two sets with a mixture of orignal and cover songs. The original songs will of course be ours: Doubtfire, Charlie Brown, Suck It Up etc etc. The cover songs will be classics from the likes of The Beatles, The Who, Small Faces, OCS to name but a few.

    It's called 'THROUGH THE DECADES' because we'll be playing songs from the 60's right through to the naughties. It's only 3 quid at the door, which opens from 9pm.

    It's gonna be great!
    love BP

  • EP review by Thomas Bird

    Release Date 03-01-2009

    The day had been tediously long and the walk home bitterly cold. For a Field Officer in Acts of Mayhem, these are the times that weary him most. The nights draw in fast; the mornings are blacker than Lucifer's heart and because of this banished light, nothing seems to be worthy of getting out of bed for. However, awaiting me tonight, as I shuffled my way inside, was a hint that perhaps my antecedent scribed depressions were about to be cast aside.

    Recently, Beatnic Prestige – a re-energised Mod / Punk / Indie 4 piece, hailing from the streets of Dunfermline – recorded and mastered their self-titled E.P in CaVa studios, Glasgow. Touted as one of Fife's finest, Beatnic consist of Jim McNab (Lead vocals / Guitar), Alan "Albo" Mills (Lead Guitar / Vocals), Billy "Butch" Underwood (Drums) and Lee "The Face" Christie (Bass). For the best part of 2008, Beatnic Prestige have undertook many an adventure – in their now famous converted School Bus – to play scores of gigs up and down the country, not to mention festivals such as Wickerman and Feugh. The relentlessness of this band is formidable and to ensure the heat doesn't die down, with 20 or so dates pencilled in for January and February, 2009 is set to be nothing short of an amplified rampage of our "God given right to get high and be free."

    Beatnic Prestige kicks off with the punchy hip swinging, head shaking "9 Clicks" – the name is derived from the infamous fact that each bottle of Buckfast takes 9 clicks for the lid to come off and release its sweet tonic goodness. The intro grabs our attention immediately and builds till not even Ritalin can compete with it, but then we are dealt a serious of soothing vocals in the form of aaaaahhaahh's. Do not for one second though think that mayhem is not on its way, for in but a moment we are introduced to a classic set of ba babara bararararah's, which will lead straight us into a boisterous serious of snap jab verses, designed to make us move and duck and dive to whatever scenario we've conjured up inside our heads. The chorus moves effortlessly in and spars with us delightfully round the living room / dance floor in order to keep us on our toes, but we keep our chins strong and our cheers loud and go with it – despite what the neighbours say – but then again, why wouldn't we? In 9 Clicks, Beatnic Prestige have picked a very strong and in your face song to impress on the listener as to why they won't be going anywhere soon – save the fridge – to wash this blisteringly hot start down with a cold lager.

    Following suit to 9 Clicks, "Pearfect" is next to be cranked out of our speakers and the tempo has in no way been turned down in any shape or form – much to my delight. Again, like 9 Clicks, Pearfect is a finely tuned and incredibly well constructed rowdy and disorderly 16 pint pitcher of refreshing carnage that is best served amongst a large group of your best care free mates. Make no mistake though, that although a band dedicated to the "East End bounce" through and through, Beatnic Prestige has in their reserves, the powers of a poignant and heartfelt lyric. Efforts such as "Take the time to think of no-one else, and regret the life spent on your self" should not be allowed to slip us by in their real life tales of our day to day life in the noughties.

    The penultimate re-vitalised and now intensely intimate "Charlie Brown" is packed to the rafters with reasons as to why the Beatnic are not just a one track horse like so many bands of this genre out there. This contemplative look at life on the dole is subtly illustrated by effective key changes to bring in lines like "I would like to try your situation, unemployed, on the dole but on vacation", followed up by "First in line, at the time to grab promotion, for the boy, at the front with more devotion". There is no two ways about it; Charlie Brown is the stand out track on this E.P. It definitely – for m
