   About BEGGARS



Everyone's talking about the band...

"I don’t give The Beggars enough love on this site — I don’t see them very often because they’re usually not paired with the faggotty bands I normally see, but they’re one of the most entertaining Rock ‘n’ Roll bands out there. And the not-so-recent addition of a saxophone in all their songs has improved their sound immensely. Combine their party jams with the most charismatic front-man I’ve ever seen, and you get one hell of a show every time." Jasper - Webvomit.com

"...this quintet is turning heads on the Detroit scene, throwing garage rock for a loop, and leaving audiences in a whiplash dance frenzy." Jessica Shaw - Detroit Free Press

"...Storming the stage, the Beggars set out to rip Small’s apart, nearly succeeding as the acrobatic Tuthill swiveled and swayed his way across the stage actually splitting his trousers wide open."Detroit Rock Review

Beggars - "Party to the People" (4 stars)

"Yes, it's an ode to partying, yes, it's an ode to rock 'n' roll and yes, you should feel bad about being a hipster who doesn't believe in the vitality of both, 'cuz your time is up. This. Sounds. Great. Energizing. A call to arms and a call to dance. Boisterous British punk meets sexy smattering of jazz and classic Judas Priest intensity. Yes, party-rock, but dangerously focused. Awesome presentation." - Jeff Milo of Real Detroit Weekly

"For the rock mathematicians: ‘60s/‘70s garage rock + saxophone = Party Band from Hell. For everyone else, this Motor City five-piece brings the party back to rock ‘n’ roll, reviving the old fuzz guitar magic and yell-along-with-the-band goodness that fueled so many beer-soaked good times back in the day. The album could easily be buried in the back of Joe Strummer’s (R.I.P.) vinyl collection, yet is miraculously fresh and vital due to the band’s enthusiasm and sheer commitment to the concept. Highlights include “Gonna Hava Party” and “P.S.A. (Stop, Drop, Rock ‘n’ Roll).” - Ryan Cunningham of Recoil Magazine
