British rockers Beth Blade & The Beautiful Disasters are riding the new album high. The first single ‘Never Let Go’ from the two sided album ‘Vintage Rebel X Trauma Bond’ won Classic Rock Magazines coveted ‘track of the week’. the album was positively reviewed in print and digital media. The album is full of fun, rock and roll spirit and a vintage flair that never goes out of style but there’s also pain, fear, vulnerability and depths so dark they may make old wounds ache.
Since bursting onto the scene, Blade and her disasters have built a reputation for monster riffs, huge choruses and a dose of old school rock and roll attitude. With aggressive muscle and melodic sensitivity, they have an unmistakable modern presence whilst keeping the spirit of old school rock and roll alive.
The band have been a non-stop force to be reckoned with, through hard work and graft building a strong pedigree touring with Marco Mendoza (ex-Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy) The Electric Boys, Thundermother and Graham Bonnet (Rainbow). They’ve also supported old and new legends on one off shows and festival bills such as Black Stone Cherry, The Sweet, Y and T, Doro Pesch, Dan Reed Network, Danny Vaughan (Tyketto), Ricky Warwick (Thin Lizzy, Blackstar Riders), Kee Marcello (Europe), John Corabi (Motley Crue, Union, Dead Daisies), Massive Wagons, Those Damn Crows, The Dead Daisies, Michael Monroe and more at Hard Rock Hell, Planet Rockstock, Planet Rock's Winter's End and Maid of Stone. Most notably they played with KISS on the globally renowned KISS Kruise in the USA alongside Ace Frehley, Bruce Kulick, Vintage Trouble, The New Roses and Lucifer.
They've received glowing reviews across the rock press (each album crowdfunded by their fans) resulting in international radio airplay including rotation on major networks in the UK, like Planet Rock and BBC Introducing radio stations. Beth herself, who is often likened to a mix between Lzzy Hale and Suzi Quatro, has sung backing vocals on two albums with British Rock legends Thunder, one which reached number three in the UK Top 40 Album Chart and number one in the UK Rock Chart.
Beth spoke out publicly to Sky News (#1 news story in the U.K. that day) about her experiences as a survivor of domestic violence hoping to use music to help people through their own experiences. She mantains a close connection to her fan base.
The band is fiercly gritty, pride themselves on intense live performances and have a passion for rock and roll that is unrivalled.

Past Reviews
Paul Sabin, Fireworks Magazine -
“Beth Blade and the Beautiful Disasters have evolved into a harder hitting outfit and their ability to write killer, lyrically brilliant songs has progressed greatly. With contrasts of light and dark, Show Me Your Teeth is a definite success. It won’t be long before the arenas will be beckoning.”
Powerplay Magazine -
“Clever this. The simple garage sound, the rough riffs and bubblegum choruses; very nice. Beth has just been on the Kiss Kruise and it’s only her second album. Must be doing something right eh? Beth isn’t reinventing the wheel here, she’s hitting it 'til it bursts and then laughing maniacally. Very well done: this isn’t a Disaster, far from it.”
Classic Rock Magazine -
“Taking a leaf out of the Joan Jett/Lita Ford school of chick rock, Cardiff based Beth Blade and her beautiful Disasters have done their homework. And they crowdfunded their debut album so successfully that they even got to record some of it at the famed Rockfield studios, where the ghosts of some of Blade's illustrious predecessors seeped out of the walls and into the grooves. It helps to raise a fairly standard set of rockers up several notches, aided by Blade's straining vocals that add a sense of urgency, backing up the steady flow of guitar riffs. But it's the power ballad Poster Girl For Pain that impresses most, with its original style and delivery. It augurs well for the future. It's all summed up in the final, autobiographical Legends Never Die, where Blade discovers her dream while watching MTV at the age of seven. Rock on girl.”
Metal Gods Meltdown -
“Next we had Beth Blade and the Beautiful Disasters, all the way from Cardiff , they have been on the road supporting Marco Mendoza’s tour in the UK. Well to say we were blown away is an understatement as the Red Haired Vixen Beth ,and her Disasters launched into “Hell Yeah” the room stood transfixed taken aback, enthralled by these Cardiff rockers enthusiasm and Metal verve, fuck, this is the best up and coming band we have seen in many a year they totally rocked Bannermans, the raunchy “Kisses” had me personally spellbound as the band weaved their magic, they commanded and rocked the small stage.”
Battlehelm -
"This is party music. My kind of party music. There is nothing like a really fat groove. A groove that you feel all the way to your spine. “Bad Habit” has that groove. This is the kind of hard rock that puts a smile on your face. The kind you want to dance all night to. The kind you don’t want to ever stop. And that to me is what music should be all about; an escape from everyday life. And this is just that."
