The Beards to release new single & compilation double-album
After a decade-long crusade on the virtues of having a beard, the world’s favourite beard-related propaganda band are pleased to announce the release of the compilation double-album: Ten Long Years, One Long Beard. A comprehensive celebration of all things bearded, it includes a ‘greatest hits’ package with remastered tracks from all four of The Beards’ studio albums alongside several rare and previously unreleased songs, as well as a complete live set recorded at Sydney’s iconic Metro Theatre in April 2015.
Featuring all of the hits that have seen the band build a worldwide cult following, such as You Should Consider Having Sex with a Bearded Man, No Beard No Good and If Your Dad Doesn’t Have a Beard you’ve got Two Mums, Ten Long Years, One Long Beard is a fitting celebration of the band’s first decade and marks a significant milestone in the history of beard-related rock.
As part of this anniversary package, The Beards are also pleased to announce the release of a brand new single, also entitled Ten Long Years, One Long Beard, and an accompanying film clip which takes a journey through a decade of touring, recording, and growing beards. The single marks the band’s first new material since 2014’s ARIA-nominated release The Beard Album and is their 56th song about beards.
“We’ve spent ten years perfecting the art of writing pro-beard anthems, and now fans finally have the chance to access all of our beardiest material in one place,” says lead drummer John Beardman Jr. “It’s definitely been a decade well spent.”
