New Zealand guitar pop band The Beths have delivered a new single and video “Metal.” It’s their first new music since a batch of singles in 2023 and 2022’s Expert in a Dying Field LP.
Not only that, but The Beths will be hopping on the metal birds to go touring, first in the EU-UK starting in mid-September, and then a short break before a massive USA and Canada tour starting at the end of October. That second leg will see support throughout by Phoebe Rings, while Bret McKenzie, Squirrel Flower, and Illuminati Hotties will make appearances on select dates.
See the video below and, underneath, the complete tour poster. Tickets go on sale today at this link. Swing by Bandcamp or this link page to find more from the band.
