Biography
1. New York MC & producer Robert Stewart. Recording since and member of Antipop Consortium.
2. Vancouver post-rock band, formed in 1995. Added a ‘The’ to the name by 2004. See The Beans.
3. Dutch steetpunk band formed in 1996.
4. Ska group from the 60s.
Beans was formed in February 1996. They started out covering some songs (most of them by Operation Ivy) during rehearsals to hone their musical skills, which were then basically non-existent (Sander and Ronald had picked up the guitar just a few months earlier). After the first bassplayer left the band due to lack of motivation, Sander, Ronald and Bikkel went on to play together even without a bassplayer. After about 9 months of doing this and having taken the first steps towards writing their own songs, they were asked to play their first show in february 1997 at a party in a nearby town. Two weeks before this show, Blok joined the band on bassguitar. Blok was already a great guitarist and his bassplaying skills helped define the sound of the band in the early days. For this first show a bandname had to be put on the flyer, so in a hurry the band came up with the name BEANS and kind of got stuck with it as people started to recognise the name.
After about two years of playing shows they decided to record their first full length album ‘weapons of the weak’ in 1999 (Since no other punkbands were active in the area at the time, a split record or something comparable was never really an option). They recorded it in two days. Their friends liked the album so much that they decided to send a copy of it to a large dutch metal/punk/hardcore magazine just to see what the reaction would be.

I mostly love "Shards of Glass" and "City Hawk" for the bass and the beat, and the rhythm of the lyrics. I could take or leave his other stuff. I hope this doesn't come across as an insult. I really love those songs.

I only here the Punk version, but I think "Beans" is the better name for a solo artist for sure. For this, last.fm should rename the punk beans to "the beans" regardless to another name conflict...
