Beddy Rays have been at it since 2017, a four-piece built around Jackson Van Issum's lead vocals and guitar, with Lewis McKenna as the second guitarist, Bradley O'Connor on bass and Ben Wade behind the kit. Two guitars and no frills: the setup is made for loose, scrappy rock that's meant to be yelled straight back at the stage.
"Sobercoaster" landed in 2020, and the band's self-titled album followed in 2022, carrying "Handful". Their covers say plenty about them too: they have taken on Thelma Plum's "Better in Blak" and "Khe Sanh", and both versions found their way onto the countdowns.
