In a career that spans more than 30 years, Paul Collins' Beat manages to bridge the gap between rock, punk, garage and country. Paul Collins' Beat appeared on the Caddyshack official movie soundtrack. Paul's first band, The Nerves toured with The Ramones and funded their own recordings, despite not having a record deal. The Nerves formed in 1974 and managed to achieve cult status with the help of record collectors and re-issues. Their song "Hanging On The Telephone" was recorded by Deborah Harry and Blondie on the album entitled "Parallel Lines. When The Nerves disbanded, Jack Lee went solo, Peter Case formed The Plimsouls and Paul Collins formed The Beat. In his bands The Nerves and The Beat, Paul Collins has toured with numerous acts, including The Ramones, The Jam, The Police, Stray Cats, The Specials, Pere Ubu, Ian Gomm, Huey Lewis, Southside Johnny, Eddie Money and countless other names. Lead singer/songwriter Paul Collins has recorded with artists such as Chuck Prohpet, Bruce Botnick (The Doors), Octavio Vinck, Jeff Trott (Sheryl Crow), Peter Case (The Plimsouls), Cyril Jordan (Flamin Groovies), Dave Immergluck (Counting Crows), and the rythm section of Chris Isaak's band, Silvertone. Paul Collins' Beat continues to perform around the world, concentrating primarily on the United States, Europe and Japan.
