Beach slang a portrait of a punk who never grew up
Early career and The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us (2013-2015)
Beach Slang formed in June, 2013. In June, 2014 they played their first live shows and released a 7" EP titled Who Would Ever Want Anything So Broken? via Dead Broke Records. They followed that release in October 2014 with their second extended play titled Cheap Thrills on a Dead End Street via Tiny Engines. Beach Slang started out with a string of live, lead guitarists; Spencer Dorsey of the band No Summer and Dan Metzker of the band The Danger O's. In February 2015, Beach Slang released a split along with five other bands titled "Strength in Weakness" via Lame-O Records.
Shortly before the recording of the band's first full-length LP, the band added Ruben Gallego as its permanent lead guitarist. Their debut full-length album, The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us, was released on October 30, 2015.
A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings and the departures of Flexner and Gallego (2016-present)
In April 2016, Beach Slang apparently broke up on stage at a show in Salt Lake City. James told the crowd it was their last show and asked the venue to refund the audiences ticket money. Ruben slammed his guitar down and walked off stage during the incident. Just over a month later, drummer JP Flexner left the group. Recorded with Flexner, prior to his departure, the band released its second studio album, A Loud Bash of Teenage Feelings, in September 2016.
In October 2016, the band parted ways with guitarist Ruben Gallego amid ongoing sexual assault allegations. That December, the band officially replaced Flexner and Gallego with two new members: former Mean Creek guitarist Aurore Ounjian and former Afghan Whigs and Cursive drummer Cully Symington.
