The Beatings

The Boston-based indie/punk band the Beatings is comprised of members Erin Dalbec (vocals, bass), Eldridge Rodriguez (vocals, guitar), Tony Skalicky (vocals, guitar), and Dennis Grabowski (drums). Earning comparisons to such respected alternative acts as the Pixies, Husker Du, and Superchunk, the quartet have issued a pair of releases thus far for the Midriff label, 2001's 6 HZ EP, and 2002's full-length Italiano. ~ Greg Prato
