Amsterdam based Beans&Fatback is a blues / rock outfit centered around singer/songwriter/producer Onno Smit.

Beans & Fatback released their debut album, Finger Lickin’ Good, in 2010. A radio friendly blend of country, soul and pop.

Returning with a bang in 2013. Their sophomore effort, With Skin Attached, was recorded in Amsterdam’s analog Electric Monkey studio, with lots of reverb, natural overdrive, and in glorious mono. The album received critical acclaim in their homecountry as well as producing (generating )numerous synchs in the US. The first single of the album ’Use Me’ opened the door for what was to become Beans&Fatback’s trade mark sound (eg. heavy on the drums with Link Wray style guitars and raw vocals).

Heroine Lovestruck is the band’s third and heaviest album to date.
The band was inspired by surf nuggets, obscure rockabilly, exotica, Ethio-Funk grooves and straight forward high energy rock & roll.

What started with a picture of Rita Hayworth in the role of Gilda painted on the first atomic bomb; detonated above the Bikini Atoll ended a year later with an album full of razor-sharp grooves, seething riffs and thundering rhythms.
Heroine Lovestruck is a tribute to classic Femme Fatales.
Women you fall for when you know it's not good for you.. The outcome is disastrous but your head turns itself off and the instinct takes over. 
Explosive, dazzling and destructive.
