Midriff Records 001
© 2002 The Beatings

Their first full-length recording released on Midriff Records in 2002 is a fever dream of post-punk madness. These thirteen songs are a landscape of emotion and sonic weirdness. Dissonant and melodic, The Beatings play ambitious music full of driving, angular guitars and aggressive, hook-laden riffs and rhythms. Still they manage to make room for the soft, simple, and more subtle songs. A purely infectious record that should not be missed.
