BeeJar has rapidly evolved from a fresh project into a breakout star in London’s alt-rock scene. The band has carved out a distinct sonic identity that bridges the gap between classic rock grit and the modern, dynamic energy of contemporaries like Wolf Alice, NewDad, and The Last Dinner Party. The first ingredient a striking vocal mix: the raspy, classic warmth of Stevie Nicks injected with the biting, poetic Irish post-punk attitude of Grian Chatten. Backing this up with heavy, overdriven riffs they invoke the bluesy swagger of Led Zeppelin and the driving distortion of Queens of the Stone Age.

BeeJar was formed by Irish duo Ellen Cronin (vocals/guitar/keys) and Dave Mannion (guitar), joined by a tight UK rhythm section comprising Ammaar Wahab (drums) and Rob Parker (bass). The band has been steadily building live momentum across the capital, regularly playing to packed houses at venues such as O2 Academy Islington, Dublin Castle, and Camden Assembly/Barfly Camden. Beyond the live circuit, BeeJar recently partnered with War Child for an online gig that raised £1,400, placing them among the Top 20 fundraising acts in the UK for the initiative.

BeeJar’s first five singles have built a much-loved repertoire, which is about to be shaken up by their debut EP, with the first single release on Nov 6th 2026, Can't Stop Thinking About You. Intense and passionate, the track plays like a dangerous thriller tale of lovers on the run from the law, until you realise all is not as it seems. The highly anticipated EP will follow in 2027.
