“Meticulously crafted, TSWYB blends modern sounds with timeless rock sensibilities with Nathan Waller's vocals, the raw, emotional heart of this sublime musical delicacy. Believe me when I tell you that D is practically in love with his truly spellbinding vocal performance. The Flying Beets' tight musicianship is on full display here - Vocals and instrumentation seamlessly intertwine in a performance that demonstrates a maturity and cohesion that belies their short time together.”

“Fort Worth indie rock trio The Flying Beets are back with their newest single, “I See Through You”—and it’s a vibe. Gritty, honest, and catchy, the song highlights the highs of love and companionship, with rich, character-filled vocals delivering the message. Led by singer/guitarist Nathan Waller—who’s made a name for himself in the DFW area for his hard-hitting vocals—the band also features bassist David Cross and drummer Steven Clements. And even though they only just formed the group in 2022, The Flying Beets have a cohesion that you’d expect from a much older band.”

“An exploration of the complexity of human relationships in all of their highs and lows, “I See Through You” is a song that doesn’t shy away from hard topics at the same time that it recognizes the good times with equal importance. Like a celebration of companionship through loving lenses, the new single from the american act serves as a careful look at every single part of a relationship, taking in the rough as well as the smooch. Frontman and guitarist Nathan is at his absolute best, with clear and raspy vocals that portray a wide range of emotions in record time.”

“The band might only be a couple of years old, but already, they are turning out songs that sound like you have been listening to them forever—music that sounds both timely and timeless, totally fresh yet brilliantly familiar. And if that isn’t the definition of a “classic,” then I don’t know what is.”

“Their brand of Nirvana-/Muse-inspired tuneage certainly stands on its own, but c’mon. The local dude who played Raphael in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (1990) is the drummer. Kenn Scott is joined by bassist David Cross (not the David Cross) formerly of local grunge-rockers The Troumatics and by frontman/guitarist/lyricist Nathan Waller. They’ve been together about a year and have recorded several songs, including “Maybe Baby.” The release party for the single late last month at Lola’s Fort Worth drew a sizable crowd. The Beets’ next gig is Saturday at The Cicada on the Near Southside. You can expect a similar turnout based on social chatter.”

“The latest single by The Flying Beets, Don’t Let Me Notice is an out-and-out gritty rock song with elements of pop music that will instantly catch your attention and make you want to listen to the song all over again. So, the song starts off with a groovy guitar riff with a slight amount of overdrive that adds the perfect tonal dirt to the sonic scape of the composition. While the guitar leads the soundscape with its melodic approach, the rhythm section deserves a special mention with the drums and bass laying down a strong foundation upon which the composition stands steady as a rock. Besides the instruments, the vocals add the sonic spice to the composition with Nathan’s husky voice that is full of clarity. Therefore this song is nothign short of a treat to the ears of listeners who like to explore different kinds of music.”

“Next we have the most anticipated single of the week. “Don’t Let Me Notice” from The Flying Beets. Let’s be honest, you’ve already heard this song so I could stop writing now – but I won’t. This song is instantly recognisable as The Flying Beets; the tunefulness is there, that voice of course and the clever lyrics with hints of wry humour in the choice of phrases. But the sound takes a dynamism and clarity that we first heard in “Better Off Alone” to another level still. The drums are epic and the bass punches through prominently using a great range of the instrument to deliver some cool lines. The production is amazing with drops to silence or to reverb tails executed with great judgement and the crescendo is just a thrill. Nathan’s vocals are off the scale. This is a difficult song to sing (ask me how I know) but you’ll detect no sense of effort here, just texture whimsical phrasing and serious punch – check out the powerful rich mix on those A4 notes. The who”

“Waller’s vocal performance is nothing short of epic. His range and emotional delivery are breathtaking, capturing both the fragility and strength inherent in the song’s themes. There’s a sincerity in his voice that pulls us into the narrative, making every word feel significant. The interplay between his vocals and the instrumental arrangement creates a dynamic ebb and flow, mirroring the emotional highs and lows of the human experience. Beyond its musical and lyrical brilliance, Don’t Let Me Notice carries a spiritual undercurrent. It speaks to the human need for connection, not just with others but with oneself. The song’s layered production and introspective tone create a sense of communal catharsis, inviting us to confront our own fears and vulnerabilities. It’s a reminder of the healing power of music, a force that unites us in our shared struggles and triumphs.”

“For those who missed our previous writing about this excellent band, The Fyling Beets combines several complementary music genres to illustrate luxurious sonic imagery. Perhaps alternative rock comes to mind, but you’ll also notice how some of the finest properties borrowed from indie rock, modern rock, and alt-country found their way into this sonic equation. These highly skilled musicians combine all these elements with such precision and finesse, making “Don’t Let Me Notice” such an incredible composition that will immediately resonate with the broader auditorium.

Therefore, this track will unquestionably appeal not only to alternative rock fans but also to anyone who appreciates good music.”

This is the 6th single for the band and continues to build on their growing legacy of solid indie rock tunes. The production and sound on this is incredibly powerful and fresh, on first play I was blown away and totally in the room with them.

Waller’s vocals are both dynamic and emotive, seamlessly shifting from soothing verses to anthemic choruses. His guitar work complements this with sharp riffs and a compelling melody that pulls the listener in from the first note.”

“The Flying Beets do rock in ways that are nostalgic of the 90s and 00s. They fly into the feel-good radar of the turn of the century indie, fleshing it out with the pop rock that the early 2000s came to become famous for. ‘The Stupid Way You Breathe’ is the band’s latest single, one that is layered with aching sentiments, moody riffs, and vocal dimensions that are reminiscent of Freddy Mercury. It is speckled with fuzzy indie rock textures, activated by the subdued melody lines; all playing into the juvenile emotions that heartache awakens in all of us. If you enjoy classic rock, you’ll especially enjoy the modern interpretations and fixtures that this band brings to it in this track. Listen Now!”

“The third single by The Flying Beets, a Fort Worth-based trio composed of frontman and guitarist Nathan Waller, backed by David Cross and Kenn Scott. In true three-piece fashion, the few players make a rumble that’s easily loud enough for bands twice their size. Courtesy of Waller’s astonishing guitar and vocal work, guitars being nostalgic, with their trebly, sunshine sound that calls surf rock to mind, and his voice working double time on the song’s frequent high-reaching yells. A terrific display of a trio with immense musicianship, the melodies, often supported by the visceral bassline, are dark and wistful, mirroring the song’s tragic chord sequences. Regardless of that, the song is not in any way sappy, quite the opposite in fact, because of the dynamic guitar line and its lush overdrive, and its placement quite prominently in the mix, the mix feels energized and all the negative emotions are channeled in a way more upbeat fashion than they would sound...”

“The Flying Beets are a pleasure to listen to. Their music orients to 90s and early 00s rock, in terms of instrumental style, energy, and ethos. Based in Fort Worth, Texas, the indie rock band is tinged with country-rock textures and a bluesy swirl that is simply intoxicating. Their latest release, ‘Villain’ is a resonant track that rises with anthemic heartache and melancholy. There’s so many rock profiles that form within the track. Melodic hooks phase into luminous riffs, spreading distortions, and Elvis Costello-esque vocals. Instantly vintage and classic, it soaks the listener with its atmospheric cast. It is a neat cocktail of Regina Spektor, The Smiths, and Fleetwood Mac with gritty 60s surf rock plays and 80s blues rock. Listen Now!

“Nathan Waller’s vocals are a standout feature. His voice is powerful and expressive, cutting through the mix with ease. Waller demonstrates impressive vocal range, effortlessly transitioning from high notes to deep, gravelly tones. The lyrics are well-crafted, with a clever use of rhyme that adds depth to the song. The rhythm section provides a solid foundation for the track. The bass is deep and punchy, while the drums deliver a relentless, driving beat.
