When Radio 1's Big Weekend came to Swindon there was one local band on everyone's lips. Beatbullyz have built up a large following in their hometown, consistently selling out 500+ capacity venues. Huw Stephens started to play them on Radio 1 in the run up to the Big Weekend, which saw the Introducing tent packed out for a mass singalong.
The band had previously taken their energetic live show to the likes of Austria's Snowbombing festival, Rotterdam's Heineken Street Parade, and even Channel 4's Hollyoaks on which they performed their track 'Keyz to Life' after being tipped as one of the best new live bands around by T4. Now they are working on what will surely be their breakthrough album.
"In a world of genetically-modified clone bands, singing haircuts and serious scenesters, thankfully we're seeing a renaissance of live urban music. It's all about energy, enjoyment, upliftment and realness, taking the funk back to the floor and causing outbreaks of expressive emotion and demented dancing (don't be scared now kids).
"Beatbullyz are busting out of the gates of town, causing stampedes to the dancefloor and locking horns with audiences across the UK and Europe with their high energy fusion of hip hop, street soul, upbeat funk and urban attitude.
"While the sound is seriously slick with Disco on live drums, Philonious Funk cutting and scratching, plus Bozo bustin' the lyrical conciousness packed with party-starting prowess and empowering positivity. The Beatbullyz live experience is only complete with the anthemic choruses of frontman Bully, once of Diesel-U-Music award winners Nebulae. This fresh-faced soulboy has a voice to make the girls feel fluffy, with a directness and harmonic power that will stop you in your tracks and have you belting out hooks you've never even heard before. The quality of his songwriting skills and optimistic, melodic sunny-day styles have to be heard to be believed, and if you're into singalong urban-soul then insanely catchy tracks like 'Paranoid', 'Wham' and 'Rootz' are guaranteed to float your boat. Let your soul fly high!" (review from Salvo magazine)
