Menace Beach

Created in 2012 by core members Ryan Needham (Komakino) and Liza Violet (Division M), Leeds-based strap Menace Beach are believed to be always a little bit of an indie supergroup. Having a revolving cast of significant auxiliary users that frequently contains Nestor Matthews (Sky Larkin), MJ (Hookworms), and Matt Spalding (You Pets), they mix fuzzed-out ’90s-design indie with big melodic pop. They produced their debut in 2012 using the Desire Out EP on French label Desire, adopted a year later on by an individual around the London-based As well Pure label. Their status grew quickly and, with just those two produces with their credit, these were protected in NME, Drowned in Audio, as well as the Guardian and documented a program for BBC Radio 6. Following a launch of their second EP, 2014’s Lowtalker, they authorized with Memphis Sectors, which released their debut recording, Ratworld, in early 2015. Written in Ibiza and documented in Sheffield, Britain, the band’s follow-up, Lemon Memory space, found its way to January 2017.
