Or do they? They don’t like many other bands and they seem to be living strictly for their own music and the aesthetic eccentricities that can be co-opted into that. Already, even as a band with just one full-length album and a 7-inch out and into the world, these kids from New York have shaped a distinct style all their own artistically. While riding some of the newfangled, the sloppier and the more aloof the better fad of young groups, The Beets are poised to remain something memorable with wonderfully cartoonish visuals – both lyrically and in their packaging. Starting with the merch, artist and band member Matthew Volz draws these absurdly witty and crude panels of degenerates or fringe players in the pop culture lexicon of by-gone years to make a quick-hitting commentary on overall society – or at the least, the one that the members of the Beets seem to find themselves living in.
