Council Records Archives No. 1

Hailing from Bay City & Saginaw, and later moving as a band to Grand Rapids, bev.clone left a mark on both the Michigan and larger Midwest hardcore scenes. Along with contemporaries such as Constatine Sankathi and Current, bev.clone helped blaze a trail for several generations of hardcore music. Members went on to play in bands such as Agna Moraine's Autobiography, Bombs Lullabye, Mainspring, Tristeza, My Own Pine Box, Anaset, Our Space In Time, and The Sea, The Sea. The music remains vital, urgent, and necessary.
