"Sprawling psych-pop-folk collective polishes the jangle 'n' bash with hooks and harmonies to soothe the savage bohemian. The kind of thing that could be a good backdrop for bar-brawling fun… Dashes of harmonica, twittering keyboards, female backing vocals and a well-defined rhythm section… pretty much incorporate all the successful dimensions of American pop."
Beginning as "Sh! The Octopus," a solo project of singer/guitarist Randy Bishop in Detroit, Michigan, USA in July of 2003 while he was in Document ('00-'04). Bishop recruited guitarist and former band mate Andy Stachowiak in late 2005. Drummer Joel Pearson and bassist Chris Sesta joined the project in the spring/summer of 2006. Vocalist/Keyboardist Marina Trejo joined July 2009.
The Bell Beat's debut The Carrot Chase was released (while the band was named "Sh! The Octopus") in July of 2007.
