The Beths

Fronted by their main songwriter, Elizabeth Stokes, New Zealand indie rock group the Beths combine energized guitar riffs, melodic hooks, and harmonized backing vocals in their impulsive, distinctly self-depreciating music. Having already won fans as a live act, the band released their first album, Future Me Hates Me, in 2018. Their 2021 live album Auckland, New Zealand, 2020 featured earworms from the debut and follow-up Jump Rope Gazers. The Beths completed their third long-player, 2022's anxious Expert in a Dying Field, in a Los Angeles studio while on tour. It reached number one on the New Zealand album charts.
