Beddy Rays release their wholeheartedly independent debut self-titled album. Beddy Rays is honest, raw and what Beddy’s are all about – mateship, Reddy Bay, good times, beers, and the importance of looking after yourself and checking in with your mates. To mark the release, the four-piece have dropped their melodic yet mosh ready new single ‘Handful’, alongside the official video.
‘Beddy Rays will make a series of record store appearances and performances across the east coast, signing copies of their new album Beddy Rays in Brisbane, Byron Bay, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong and Melbourne. See below for full details.
Beddy Rays have this to say of their forthcoming self-titled album, “When we started a band many years ago as young whipper snappers in Reddy Bay all we wanted to do was play gigs, sink tins and chat to all the legends we’d meet along the way. Now we have our very own album firmly in our grip, and to say we’re excited is a major understatement. We decided to go with a self-titled album for our debut because we believe this album IS Beddy Rays through-and-through. It’s made up of our recent singles and a bunch of brand newies we’ve been cooking up for you legends. A nice mixed bag of lollies! We hope you love it as much as we do!”

Produced by Brock Weston and Beddy Rays, and recorded at Brock’s Place in Brisbane, Beddy Rays features the aforementioned thrasher ‘Sort It Out’, the chaotic Week On Repeat, the explosive ‘Wait A While’, a rowdy dose of ‘Milk’, the mosh ready beast ‘On My Own’ and the anthem that started it all, ‘Sobercoaster’.
Get ready Australia, 2022 is set to be a Beddy good time!
