Beryl Beloved

BERYL BELOVED ("Beryl" pronounced to rhyme with Cheryl) is an alternative outfit based in Colorado, which retains even today the melodic, full-bodied spirit of post-punk, deathrock, and eighties-era gothic rock. Their impressionistic, lyric-focused songs draw from predecessors like Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Southern Death Cult, and others - merging intricate but uncomplicated progressions together with their own brand of storytelling.
