Beautiful Bedlam, much like their oxymoron band name suggests, deliver a manic and melodic blend of experimental/progressive rock music, with hints of jazz, metal and more. Formed in Melbourne, Australia in 2017 from the ashes of prog stalwarts A Lonely Crowd, Beautiful Bedlam consists of brothers Luke (guitar) and Scott Ancell (drums), James Van Strien (bass) and Benjamin Wylie (vocals).
Beautiful Bedlam are currently releasing pro-shot live videos from their Live at The Band Booth EP (31st July, 2024), which showcases four songs from their upcoming second album. HEAVY will be presenting these four tracks to you one at a time, starting today with the premiere of You Don’t Know.
You Don’t Know was the first song co-written with current vocalist/lyricist Benjamin Wylie. It’s a song about distancing yourself from others, whilst trying not to make waves/burn bridges. At just under three minutes it’s an energetic short rocker.
