BÊTE

Four-piece alt-indie Manchester band who got together late in 2012. With roots in electronica and instrumentation taken from indie and experimental hip-hop, BÊTE offer something slightly left of the norm, citing Radiohead, Machinedrum and Death Grips as influences, they have developed a sound that uses atypical sound signatures within a pop context.
