'Think loud guitars and fast beats (without the hairspray). Beretta Suicide are an exciting new band taking rock forward instead of backward by regurgitating the bands of yester-year. These guys are the sound of tomorrow' - Leeds Music Scene
'Beretta Suicide are an untouchable live act, bringing the sounds of revolutionary bands like The Ramones, Sex Pistols and Guns 'n' Roses and brings a breath of fresh air to the monotonous music scene. The only way is up for these guys - Reverb Reviews
'A new band out of Leeds, Beretta Suicide draws on the best parts (loud, bluesy guitar rock) of Sunset rock bands and leave the worst parts (hairspray and make up) where they belong' - Licorice Pizza
'With influences such as Bakcyard Babies, New York Dolls, Alice In Chains and Motley Crue these guys are attempting to create a sound so raw it'll take your face off. These are, Rock Radio's unsigned band of the week' - Manchester Rock Radio
'The first time I've seen these guys and definitely won't be the last. An excellent show with some great songs too. A nasty rock band with punk snarl. Very enjoyable set with some guys dressed as mimes at the front too. Extra entertainment' - Leeds Music Project
'While supporting the likes of Max Raptor, The Glitterati, Zico Chain, Sorry and the Sinatras, with plans to support LA Guns and UK Subs...there is never the lack of chance to catch this quality punk band live' - Yorkshire Music Scene
'I like Beretta Suicide a lot, they're one of those bands that only come about now and again but when they do you can't help but sit up and listen to what they've got to say. They're music is catchy and easy going yet crunchy enough to satisfy that need for distortion. I fully expect to see more of these guys doing really well, and hope that they maintain the sound they've gone for so far because its a winning approach. In summary - more please' - Loud Stuff

Bio
'This is the sound of dirty living on the streets of Leeds. These are songs for societies orphans and unwanted - the alley cats and trash hounds, the fiends, hustlers and children of the night...' (Reverb Reviews - 2011)
Beretta Suicide was born in late 2010 when 4 rouges bonded over a love of real music and were sickened with the mass produced pop shite they were being fed on a daily basis. From their first gig on a cold night in Leeds the idea was dragged kicking and screaming into the light of the underground scene. Ever since, these miscreants have been gigging/destroying/creating/provoking throughout the UKs venues, gaining recognition and a reputation one gig and one night at a time.
In the last 12 months Beretta Suicide have played headline shows in London (their most recent EP launch party sold out the Water Rats), Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle and Bradford among others; as well as putting in show stealing performances in over 50 gigs throughout the UK in 2011.
Some of the bands we have had the pleasure of playing with: UK Subs, Max Raptor, Zico Chain, Gliteratti, Smoking Hearts, The Orchard, Dave McPhearson (InMe), LA Guns, Tiger Please, Dead City Ruins, Eureka Machines, Voodoo Six, New Generation Superstars...
With 2 self financed EPs released on their own label (the most recent self titled release became available on the 26th November 2011 as a free download or CD - which sold out the first pressing) as well as 2 single launches and a self financed video, Beretta Suicide have never needed to rely on anyone to get things done. 2012 is already shaping up to be another busy year, with 2 new releases scheduled ('Lights Out' due out January 2012) and 2 tours - including a European adventure - there really is no stopping these sons of Rock n Roll in their mission...
Proudly showing their influences - Sex Pistols, The Clash, Backyard Babies, Cancer Bats, The Ramones, The Refused, The Bronx, AC/DC, Alice in Chains, Elvis, the Misfits... - yet sounding fresh and twisted in their own right, Beretta Suicide are here for more than just your attention. They have come for your souls...
