Biography

Beans on Toast is one man with a guitar, writing songs that he claims ‘have the same chords’ and ‘sound like Billy Bragg’. Beans on Toast (known to his friends as Jay) blends a dark wit with serious social and political satire based on a diverse range of subjects including cocaine, Tesco, London, gun crime, myspace, global warming and the Lake District. He is a friend of Frank Turner, and is mentioned in I Knew Prufock Before He Got Famous, Live Fast Die Old and To Absent Friends. Beans on Toast often plays at the Locke Tavern and used to be a regular at Nambucca. More songs and free downloads can be found at www.myspace.com/sexdrugspolitics

    Haha love this man, He's a little legend not giving a crap about the music industry and just doing what he wants. I love how liberally he sings about drugs, politics and race without apology...legend! I know often his songs can blur into one having similar sounds (as is his style) but there are some real anthems in his work and i find myself singing his tunes much to the amusement of passers by when i "there's a paki on the corner, and he runs a little shop, but my dad will not go there, coz he thinks he stole his job, etc" He can really sing about the important issues such as acceptance of race, london bombings and equality yet appear so honest and genuine in his intent. Keep doing what you're doing! :D Oh and tell Frank Turner he's fucking awesome too!

    I heard the song "All I want to do is buy you a flower" on XFM a few months ago, it was beautiful, would love if somebody added it.
