THE BETHS are elated to announce their biggest headline tour to date, coming to Auckland’s Town Hall this September after which they’ll also be releasing Expert In A Dying Field. The band’s third LP houses 12 jewels of tight, guitar-heavy songs that worm their way into your head, an incandescent collision of power-pop and skuzz. Ahead of the album’s September 16 release, The Beths share their new single ‘Silence Is Golden’. Filled with Elizabeth Stokes’ signature cut-to-the-bone lyrics alongside playfully chaotic, hook-filled melodies, ‘Silence Is Golden’ appropriately foreshadows an album that stands to solidify The Beths’ reputation as masters of their craft.

The Beths, with their mastery of live performance, have played to sold-out crowds across the globe and graced the festival stages of Pukkelpop, The Great Escape, SXSW, Primavera, Splendour in the Grass, Latitude Festival and more. The power of The Beths is echoed in the critical sphere, where they’ve received three APRA Silver Scroll nominations (2018, 2019, 2021), two Taite Prize nominations (2019, 2021), a Levi’s Music Prize win (2020), two Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards wins (2019: Best Group, Best Alternative Artist) and three Aotearoa Music Awards wins (2020: Album of the Year, Best Group, Best Alternative Artist).
