Don’t Mess With the Beast, Mr. Hurricane

My neighbors to the north are at it again. This time the music gods are messin’ around in Montreal with a couple of artists who call themself Beast. Made up of Jean-Phi Goncalves, a drummer and producer and the leader of the band Plaster, and incredible vocalist Beatrice “Betty” Bonifassi.
These two throw down some dirty beats that make for some head-bobbing, toe-tapping tunes that sound like they came straight out of a James Bond soundtrack. Microcyte sounds like the rapping stepchild of RATM. My favorite, Mr. Hurricane, is catchy rap/disco/rock song that has that play-it-until-you-can’t-stand-it-anymore quality, and Betty really shines on Fingerprints with her soaring vocals.
Incredibly fresh, my only complaint is ‘Where can I buy some tunes?” These two have nothing for sale anywhere. That I can see. And when I checked out Last.fm, seems there is a metal band named Beast, so someone created another profile for the band, calling them Beastsound. C’mon guys, figure it out and let’s get on with it. You’re too good to be messin with the Beast, Mr Hurricane.
