Arguably one of the most acclaimed and loved bands of the past 20 years, by both fans and their musical peers alike, The Beta Band formed in St. Andrews, Scotland, in 1996.
Innovative and singular, their unique musical and aesthetic approach to everything they did set them far apart from their musical contemporaries.
With two Top 40 singles in "Broke/Won" and "Assessment", their style is described as being a blend of folk, psychedelia, electronica, post-rock and trip hop, often involving stylistic experimentation and occasional humour.
