About

Beat the Drum are writers and performers, Chris Calloway and Steve Murrell. The cult band Beat The Drum initially formed as a five piece in West London and although they achieved critical acclaim they remained an outsider cult band below the radar of the mainstream. 

Chris & Steve reformed the band as a duo.

From art rock to dub via guitar driven electronica they evoke an attractively strange magic that is all their own. Beat The Drum maintain full artistic control over all they do, hence their mission statement  ‘WE MAKE THE RULES’. Their music is constantly evolving and yet the foundations of their sound is always evident, elevating their inimitable sound and lyrical vision to new heights.
