The bastard offspring of five maniacs - a Scotsman, a Pole, an Irishman, a German and a Spaniard - Beastmen was formed in Cork city in September 2007 after the lads had a few pints together, like most bands really... They play a mixture of surf, electronica, heavy rock, circus music and mariachi sounds - completely instrumental, though with the occasional use of vocoder, yelps and screams.
