The concept of BEARDSis simple - A rock band that exclusively perform songs about just one subject: Beards. With a three-album back catalogue of crowd favourites like If Your Dad Doesn't Have a Beard,You've Got Two Mums, You Should Consider Sex with a Bearded Man and No Beard, No Good, The Beards continue in their ceaseless journey to make the world a more beard-friendly place.

The Beards have gained a cult following in Australia after touring the nation relentlessly over the last few years. Notable performances include the Falls Festival, The Big Day Out, Woodford Folk Festival and of course their visit to Alaska to perform at the World Beard and Moustache Championship's opening ceremony.

The Beards have always combined the brilliant and the comedic in creating online content and the success of this is evident. Their YouTube channel has received over two million views and their clips have received national attention on Australian television.

Bearded men, put down those trimmers - the Beard Revolution has come.
