Band Biography for bestfriend:

We're Bestfriend, a band based around the Leeds/York area. A deadly quartet comprising of guitar, bass, drums, banjo, trumpet and synthesiser. Using ancient forms of alchemy we have compiled genres such as Pop, Bossa Nova, Folk, Ska, Progressive rock, Math, Funk and Space rock into a formidable elixir to unleash something new, colourful and fun to the music scene, but without sacrificing the all important musical depth and complexity.

Formed by guitarist and vocalist Ben Beheshty originating from Altrincham, South Manchester. Joining with Joel Wilson on the bass at the very beginning and throughout, met with varying line-up, now settled on George Flint (drums) and Jack Wellborn (Trumpet/Synth/Banjo) as members.

The first release being self-titled "Bestfriend" was written from early April 2011 and released by september of that year, and have now released album number two titled "Cuba" in April of 2012.

Plans to tour the UK over the summer of 2012 with bands 'Chateaux' and 'Hore Douse' are being sorted.
