Beans On Toast is a British folk singer from Essex, born on December 1st, 1982. Emerging from the UK folk scene in 2005, he has gained recognition for his self-deprecating and honest songwriting style. His music openly tackles subjects such as politics, drugs, and love. A unique tradition of Beans On Toast is releasing a new record every year on his birthday.

With his distinctive approach to storytelling through music, Beans On Toast has captivated audiences worldwide. His raw and authentic lyrics resonate with listeners who appreciate his unfiltered perspective on life's ups and downs. Drawing inspiration from various genres including folk and punk, he creates a sound that is both familiar yet refreshingly original.

Beans On Toast shares similarities with other notable artists such as Ben Marwood, Will Varley, Frank Turner, Gavin Osborn, Holy Moly & The Crackers, Dizraeli, Gaz Brookfield, Ducking Punches, Skinny Lister, The King Blues, Johnny Flynn Mad Dog Mcrea Dave Hause Grace Petrie Tim Vantol The Undercover Hippy Sean McGowan Tim Barry Chuck Ragan Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip. These musicians also explore thought-provoking themes in their music while maintaining an engaging and relatable sound.

Beans on Toast’s new album, The Inevitable Train Wreck, is something different for the cult songwriter - an upbeat, old-school rock ’n’roll record about the worryingly bleak future of the human race, recorded solely on vintage, analogue equipment by Kitty and Lewis Durham. Taking inspiration from musical icons such as Chuck Berry and Otis Redding, as well as modern thinkers like Noah Yuval Harari and Greta Thunberg, the album is a collaborative project between Beans and Lewis and Kitty Durham from the much-loved family band, Kitty, Daisy and Lewis.

Beans wrote the collection of songs and brought them to Lewis and Kitty, who then rewrote the music behind the lyrics and produced the record in their studio, Durham Sound Studios, changing the sound from acoustic folk to the wonderful piece of work they present to you today. The intention of the project is probably best illustrated by the opening number, World Gone Crazy, a fast paced, classic rock ’n’ roll tune with lyrics that claim “On the brink of extinction in the age of anxiety everywhere you look is another catastrophe. ”Not one computer was used in the recording, mixing or mastering of the album, which is oddly fitting for Saying Thank You to Robots; a ska-tinged song about the rise of artificial intelligence. Yes, these are troubled times we live in, so it’s more important now than ever to celebrate what we already know to be good. “Life is ridiculous, it is hilarious, it can be dangerous and sometimes even tedious. But it’s resilient and it is beautiful and I believe in it. Long may it continue”
