The wonderfully named Beans on Toast has a new album set for release tomorrow (December 1), and he's promoting Survival of the Friendliest by taking to the road with a heap of dates including a stop-off at Bedford Esquires.
The LP follows the recent single, Not Everybody Thinks We're Doomed.
“I love life. I'm constantly inspired by the crazy world in which we find ourselves. The road ahead may not be an easy one, but I refuse to believe it's all for nothing and that we should roll over and quietly wait for extinction," says Beans, "If that's the future we imagine, then that's the future we will get. We need to visualise a better future. We need to adapt, and we need to celebrate the things worth celebrating.
"That's what this song is, a celebration of life and our future. Bring it on. Chaos and all.”
And the album? Survival of the Friendliest is a record all about hope, positivity and camaraderie that chooses to celebrate the very best of human nature.
