Beverley was formed at the end of 2001. Guitarist/Frontman: Jim Turner (previously from the RetroJets).

Bassist/vocalist: James Maxted of Stuff and Kinagro (and various others…)

Drummer: Chris Pilkington came together with only one thing on their minds.

 Beverley are a lesson in hard rocking or as they would say ‘bottom rocking’.

 No really… …They make music to fuck hard to!

Frontman/Guitarist Jim Turner the secret love child of Iggy Pop and Kurt Cobain, is everything that is wrong with this once great country.

This skilled performer has no regard for possessions and frequently destroys his equipment,

simply because (according to him)‘It’s the only way to play!’

his main influences range from Pavement, the Dandy Warhols and the New York Dolls.

Bassist/Vocalist James Maxted is a machine for relentless bass and fuzz;

it was reputed that his bass rig was being tested as a sonic weapon by the United States army.

James is a one-man dynamo and will be frequently found leaping around the stage as if it was a trampoline.

His influences include Muse, Duran Duran and Radiohead.

Drummer Chris Pilkington provides the solid foundation for the amazing sound Beverly produce.

His unique style of ‘bottom rock’ sees almost all drum kits in pieces and eardrums shattered!

This guy is a nutcase, hurling himself from lighting rigs and speaker cabinets.

He is currently on the run from a high security home for the clinically (and dangerously) insane.

He takes his main influences from the Cure, At the Drive In and 16 wheeled 20 ton lorries.

The power trio of rather conspicuous rock monsters sound like a cross between a high-speed car crash, a full on assault with 10ft guitars and a wall of fuzz.

The mix between pure riff mania, retro rock and white noise is a sublime experience of youth

and is sure to take your ears to pieces and put them back together all wrong!
