BANDCALLEDBEACH is an 80s synth-pop inspired duo.
What happens when you take a California based singer-songwriter and trap him in a studio basement with a German synth-pop producer? One: They become best friends. Two: You get BANDCALLEDBEACH.
A sparkling pop band, BANDCALLEDBEACH is a bubbly blend of buoyant, breezy beats and bold bass.
It’s composed of California born singer-songwriter, Asher Witkin, and Hannover native, Jonas Sercombe, with a little help from sunny sensation Graham Candy and brilliant Beatenberg’s Robin Brink.
Locked away in their studio basement, BEACH create a 10 track album – spending their nights on the studio floor.
Asher and Jonas met at Popakademie in Mannheim, Germany in 2021. They’ve been writing together ever since.
Asher began his career in music performing with some of the biggest acts in the world. He’s sang with Coldplay, Daveed Diggs, Alexander Rybak, Woody Goss, and recorded vocals for Kehlani.
Jonas is the lead singer for The Planetoids, a disco inspired pop band with regular performances all around the world. He has produced songs with and for a diverse range of artists, and is one of the founders of Pubic Hair Records.
BANDCALLEDBEACH is what happens when you were just a little too young to live through the 80s, but aren’t quite satisfied with leaving those sonic years behind. It’s what happens when you take a singer-songwriter and give him a glittering, purple stratocaster. It’s what happens when you take one of the greatest young producers of this generation and pair him with a West Coast singer set on world domination.
