After a decade-long crusade on the virtues of having a beard, the world’s favourite beard-related propaganda band are pleased to announce the release of the compilation double-album: Ten Long Years, One Long Beard. A comprehensive celebration of all things bearded, it includes a ‘greatest hits’ package with remastered tracks from all 4 of The Beards’ studio albums alongside several rare and previously unreleased songs, as well as a complete live set recorded at Sydney’s iconic Metro Theatre in April 2015. Featuring all of the hits that have seen the band build a worldwide cult following, such as You Should Consider Having Sex with a Bearded Man, No Beard No Good and If Your Dad Doesn’t Have a Beard you’ve got Two Mums, Ten Long Years, One Long Beard is a fitting celebration of the band’s first decade and marks a significant milestone in the history of beard-related rock.
As part of this anniversary package, The Beards are also pleased to announce the release of a brand new single, also entitled Ten Long Years, One Long Beard, and an accompanying film clip which takes a journey through a decade of touring, recording, and growing beards. The single marks the band’s first new material since 2014’s ARIA-nominated release The Beard Album and is their 56th song about beards.
“We’ve spent ten years perfecting the art of writing pro-beard anthems, and now fans finally have the chance to access all of our beardiest material in one place,” says lead drummer John Beardman Jr. “It’s definitely been a decade well spent.”
To further mark this milestone, The Beards are hitting the road in September and October across Europe, UK and their native Australia, giving fans the chance to join the band in celebrating ten years of beards, beard-related songs, and general beardy mayhem.
