<div><span class="im">Stemming from various bands that guitarist/vocalist <strong>Steven Instasi</strong> and bassist <strong>Ben Semeta</strong> had been in since their teenage years, <strong>Black Beach</strong> formed in 2012 in their hometown of Middleboro, MA when the two joined with childhood friend and drummer <strong>Ryan Nicholson</strong>. Originally starting as a hardcore band, the trio decided to focus on writing a style of music that encompassed all of their interests rather than existing in the confines of any one particular genre. What resulted was a sound that took inspiration from noise rock, post-punk, proto-punk, doom, free jazz, and art rock. Eventually relocating to Boston where the band found kindred spirits in the local music scene, Black Beach found a home in the various basements and music venues in the city and began playing with international touring acts such as <strong>Thee Oh Sees</strong>, <strong>Protomartyr</strong>, and<strong> Acid King</strong>. With two EPS, a split with friends <strong>Nice Guys</strong> and 2016’s LP <em>Shallow Creatures</em> under their belt, Black Beach continues to evolve their genre bending version of rock music.<br class="m_-515848765547171378gmail-Apple-interchange-newline" /></span></div>
