I'd argue Beecher actually did very well by not allowing the scene to hold them back. Their first album was released by Earache to much critical acclaim. It's just a shame they decided to call it a day as soon as they did.

The unsigned scene in 2000 onwards produced a couple of good bands who never quite got there. Moco were phenomenal live band whose performances were legendary and Tsuji Giri's album produced by Steve Albini was top notch.

No bullshit i work with the drummer from beecher, and they did a reunion one off gig not long ago

God I love that song. I was going to post it myself. They did go pretty shit though, that Every Beat of the Heart nonsense has no place in the same post as Brighter, frankly.

I recall me and you meeting for the very first time (well, as in speaking to each other) at their gig with the Brilliant Corners at the Hacienda!
Was it anti Clause 28 benefit gig??

Who remembers Dub Sex?

They had moments of brilliance - "Swerve" was absolutely stunning. I saw tham at The Hac once and they were an absolute explosion of energy.

They got overlooked in the rush to deify the "baggy" bands in the late 80s and I never heard from them again.

I think technically we first met at the Boardwalk when we both idiotically got on stage in a drunken stupour but that gig at the Hacienda may well have been the first time we properly spoke to each other or it may have been at GMEX at the 10th Summer thing. I don't know, my memory is pretty terrible.

Deffo at the Hac gig, we didn't meet at GMEX.
I was stood behind you in line and you / friends kept talking about your band, so I curiously asked what band you were in.... next thing I know I spend 3 Sunday nights watching you in ''the battle of the bands'' at the Boardwalk!
