Beauty School
Friday
Main Stage - 13:00
On their upcoming sophomore record ‘From Now On’, Yorkshire alt-rock six piece Beauty School finally reap the rewards of relentless touring and tireless efforts to perfect their signature blend of aching old-school emo, springy pop-punk and driving alternative rock.
‘From Now On’ is a hugely ambitious and near pitch-perfect modern pop-punk reimagining of 90’s American radio-rock a la Third Eye Blind and Jimmy Eat World but piecing together their most personal work to date has been no easy feat. Having spent years in the scene finding their feet, the album is a culmination of nearly a decade of refinement and serves as a cathartic release from life’s toughest realities: “From Now On is defined by struggle, the struggle to overcome grief, loneliness, and the mental health struggles that we all experience in one way or another. It’s also about living in this strange, corporate-driven world that can feel confusing and soul-crushing at times.”
Self-proclaimed ‘Slam Dunk Festival born and bred’, the six-piece spent their formative years deeply imbedded in the Leeds rock scene - cutting their teeth under a host of different monikers and through various lineup changes on the journey towards crafting the signature anthemic Beauty School sound. Since firmly establishing themselves as Yorkshire’s true answer to Midwest emo, the band have toured with rock titans The Wonder Years, Hot Mulligan and State Champs with festival appearances at Slam Dunk, Download and 2000 Trees.
