New Beat Fund

New Beat Fund sounds like a neon-lit beach party where the speakers are vibrating with a mix of gritty rock and polished pop. Their music is defined by a distinct 'G-Punk' aesthetic, which marries the rebellious spirit of garage punk with the rhythmic bounce of West Coast hip-hop and the groove of 70s funk. You can hear the influence of the California sun in every shimmering guitar riff and the laid-back, almost conversational vocal delivery that frequently slips into rhythmic rap flows.

What truly sets them apart is their 'everything but the kitchen sink' approach to arrangement. They aren't afraid to layer thick, slap-bass lines under distorted power chords or follow a melodic pop chorus with a spoken-word bridge. There is a sense of genuine camaraderie and DIY independence in the production, making the music feel like it was born out of a jam session that just happened to be perfectly recorded. It is music that refuses to take itself too seriously while remaining technically sharp.

Start with their debut album, ($) CoiNz, to get the full blast of their high-energy, genre-bending mission statement. It captures the band at their most eclectic and serves as the perfect introduction to their sunny, slightly chaotic world. If you want something a bit more refined but still retaining that core groove, move on to Ashes.
