Local rockers B&E celebrate new album Sat. at Deluxe
Local rockers B&E will release their new album, Chords to Live By, Saturday at Deluxe in Maplewood.
The band plays old school garage and punk rock with some commercial glam mixed in. Frontman Brendan Corcoran’s voice hearkens 1970s figures like John Lydon and David Bowie and he often loses it on the mic, squealin’ and squawkin’ through a typhoon of rage. The two guitar assault is grungy and lo-fi.
The album features backup vocals from Jason Potter (Left Arm), Kat Kissick (Midtown Thieves) and Sunyatta Marshall (The Helium Tapes).
All in all, not a bad listen. Bring your earplugs to the show (safety first!)
B&E CD release show with Left Arm
10 pm Sat., Deluxe
You can also buy the album on iTunes and here.

What’s all this “squakin’” the lead guy does? Dude, can’t even proofread his own article!
Oops, missed that ‘w’, thanks.
I think it’s “squawkin’”, Davis. And yeah, the article is a bit junky. But these guys sound awesome! Matt just sounds like my dad.
I’ve heard the new album. I liked it! I’ve seen these guys live and I thought they rocked. Nice to have something fresh and unique like a Corcoran up front as well….Go B&E! See you guys Saturday.
Earplugs?? Why… yes! These guys will no doubt peel your face off live. But I will say, they have their “own” sound…. and to me, that makes all the difference. Thanks for the rock B&E…see you dudes Saturday!!!
Hey Davis…got anything better to do today than rip on our local journalists?
I play drums with B&E…they call me Widey. I concur, safety is always first! So please, wear your ear protection! I have played with this Motley Crue for almost 3 years now….my hearing is gone! Huh? What did you say? Oh and Matt, thanks for the listen and the review!
