Band to watch: Beat Union
I was over at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood on Wednesday night to catch Canadian dub rock band Bedouin Soundclash and was pleasantly surprised by the opening act, Beat Union.
The young four-piece from Birmingham, England had a rousing sound and vigorous delivery along the lines of The Jam and Clash, with a touch of the Specials thrown in. Their debut CD "Disconnected" was produced by Goldfinger's John Feldmann (Good Charlotte, The Used) and is due out April 22.
Beat Union will play the Van Warped Tour this summer. It stops at Pomona Fairplex again, so I'll definitely be writing more on these promising lads.
