The Beat Poets <tbps>
"Staring Stars Down Out November 24th 2008 (www.itunes.com)"


Described by NME as ‘Blistering, Frenzied, blood-stirring, rock that weaves its way through U2, the Foos and The Vines’ The Beat Poets are quickly becoming one of the most exciting new acts to emerge from Northern Ireland in recent years. BBC ATL described them as “Northern Ireland’s hardest working unsigned band” with the Irish Star claiming they could be the biggest band to come from the North of Ireland since Snow Patrol.

2008 seen the band again praised by the BBC as a band destined to go far, with legendary Irish music magazine 'Hotpress' in April 2008 stating The Beat Poets are "a band on the cusp of something big…truly special…our new favourite band”

The band will be releasing 'Staring Stars Down' on November 24th via all online store including www.itunes.com. 500 Limited edition signed copies will be available from the new Poets online store which will be launched on the new www.thebeatpoets.com in November 08!
