  • Liz Stokes of The Beths sits down with us for another episode of Board to Death. Similar to her bandmate Jonathan Pearce, Liz’s board is set up with various levels of distortion to build up gain for live shows. Some standouts that she demonstrates include the EQD Hoof Fuzz, prominently heard on the intro of “Silence is Golden”, the Ibanez LF7 Lo Fi pedal, used in “Great No One”, and the Chase Bliss Thermae, heard in the intro of their title track of The Beths new record “Expert in a Dying Field”.
    The Beths are currently on tour! Head to their website below to find out when they are playing in your city!

    I’m always absolutely astonished to see her play that “silence is golden” riff while singing it.

    The Beths are so good - they're insanely talented as songwriters, instrumentalists and producers. Everything so well thought out and considered.

    The rest of these comments are right on the money, The Beths are amazing and Liz Stokes is one of the very best songwriters today. She is *that good*.

    I was luckily enough to see their show in randomly when I traveled to NZ few years ago, and that was even before their first album release. They really that good, I immediately have that kind of next big thing feeling.

  • @RandomButtonPusher
    @RandomButtonPusher ปีที่แล้ว +23

    One of the top bands around these days. Expert in a Dying Field, which I've featured on my public radio show, is also one of the top albums of '22 in my estimation, and was eagerly awaited after Jump Rope Gazers, another fine album.

    terrific up-and-coming band! I hope i'm not doing them an injustice calling them up-and-coming... Just outstanding songs. Really fun stuff. They're coming to my city in a few weeks and they sold out two nights. I'm out of luck... can't get a ticket. As I said, they're on the rise and rightfully so.

      " I hope i'm not doing them an injustice calling them up-and-coming"
      It prompts a fair question. How many excellent albums can a band release and still be considered up-and-coming?

      Nah, this is so encouraging. Pedals off the board, one side of a double pedal broken. It’s much more real life than the bands with professional board setups and midi and all that

    A suggestion/ favor to ask the nice people at eqd. Any chance you could launch a reverb with a send return fx loop? It would be the verb to end all verbs as we could add any modulation we wanted just on the wet signal and not spend hundred of bucks each time one with an interesting modulation comes out. I said one but I have another.. I would love to see a ring modulator/ bit crusher[ preferably analogue but you know best]. Not much focus on tremolo/ stutter/ sample and hold functions....just a good ole ring mod which we can place before the eruptor and have fun. It can be the ring crusher, or the bit modulator or the nightmare machine...you know

      Used to know a fella with a small collection of guitars, including a rare and valuable limited edition JEM from like the 90s, but the best playing guitar he had was his tele style G&L Tribute with soapbars. It's actually crazy how nice that guitar was.
