The band Bealby Point has been described as a cross between The Strokes and Eagles with a splash of Bahamas…on the rocks, no ice. The foursome spent their youth sneaking out to parties, riding bikes, and exploring the night in the sprawling suburbs of Deep Cove, a coastal neighborhood of North Vancouver, which also serves as a major inspiration to their songwriting, atmosphere and energy.
Their new song, “Fridays,” captures those moments in an intimate relationship with a close friend while simultaneously carrying feelings of disconnect. The song transmits a sense of something severe and personal whilst, at the same time, beating around the bush and never getting to the point of the matter.
The idea behind these feelings are a representation of going out on the weekends and discovering who you are through social connections and disconnections, constantly learning and growing to eventually become who you will be. It feels nostalgic, even sad at times, but there is an underlying feeling that makes you wonder if something better is always just around the corner.
Discussing the band’s EP , Band member Jack Armstrong shared ‘While recording our EP, Fridays, we all agreed we wanted a more raw sound than our previous projects, relying less on studio magic and more on our own musicianship and personal skill sets. This EP taught us that it is important to let go of preconceived notions of how the music should sound and let it breathe through the recording process.
We want our listeners to feel the nostalgia and melancholy that we put into these songs; a hint of sadness with the lingering feeling of better things on the horizon. These are the same feelings that we have all experienced after a Friday night where you learn something new about who you are and your world that is constantly flexing and taking shape around you.
