About Us

Bearded exists to generate coverage for independent labels and artists regardless of genre, background or how fashionable they are. Bearded aims to do this with writing that allows the reader to form their own opinions rather than being told what to think and what to like. Bearded’s editorial direction is not dictated by advertisers, distributors or anybody else that might generate monetary support. It is put together exclusively by music lovers for music lovers – like a conversation in a pub, but much more polite.
