Are you sick of bands that sound the same? Are you sick of Rap-Metal? When was the last time you heard a New Hard Rock/Metal band with an actual singer? Are you longing for new music with a new sound? If you answered yes to any of these questions then Beautiful Creatures is for you.

Beautiful Creatures bridge the gap between "Modern" and "Classic" Rock with a fresh sound that blends the grit of old Aerosmith, AC/DC and Guns N' Roses with the in-your-face heavy, modern edge of Disturbed and Slipknot.

Singer Joe LeSte, formerly of L.A. Rockers Bang Tango, brings his unique brand of raunchy, sleazy Axl Rose-meets-Bon Scott vocals that are the driving force behind the overall BC sound. The Beautiful Creatures CD also features the coolest guitar sound and tone that I've heard in years. The songs are heavy and raunchy ass-kickers. "1 A.M.", "Step Back", "Kick Out", and "Wasted" are all highlights.

Chock-full of heavy, yet catchy tunes, killer guitar riffs, gritty vocals, and pure attitude, Beautiful Creatures delivers a solid Rock N' Roll Uppercut to the jaw. Fans of "Old-School" Hard Rock as well as fans of "Modern" Hard Rock will really dig this band. This CD will stay in your player for a very long time.
