It all started with lighting water on fire. Vanessa Bley (lead vox, guitar), Robert Granata (guitar) and Anthony Marchesi (bass) met in 2011 while performing at the revolutionary anti-fracking concert "Pedal Power NYC," a show powered by bicycles and "natural ass." In early 2012, following Bley's release of her lush and vibrant alt-rock solo EP, the new friends decided to join forces to become Beast Patrol.
Within the same year, the Brooklyn rockers released the EP Fierce & Grateful, generating significant buzz including being named a Rolling Stone "Band to Watch" and a slot atLollapalooza. After a year of extensive performing and the addition of Jacob Read-Harber on drums last summer, the four-piece has settled in and crafted their second record, EP Unarm Yourself, out June 10, on Space Camp Radio Records.

"The alt-rockers have a clear nod to the past while using their influences to craft a vibe that draws from clever bass lines and luscious vocals." - Rolling Stone
"With the help of Robert Granada (lead guitar), Anthony Marchesi (bass), and Jacob Read (drums), [Vanessa] Bley has been winning fans over in New York and beyond with the psychedelic rock tunes of Beast Patrol." - PureVolume
"With an appeal reminiscent of bands like The Pretenders and late Eurythmics, this is a group that has the potential to be enjoyed by many." -Deli
Bley explains, "Unarm Yourself is the first record we've composed together. The last EP was made up of songs from my past, so this really feels like a true expression of the band."
