The Beths’ debut album, Future Me Hates Me, occupies a warm, energetic space between joyful hooks, melodic harmonies and lyrical substance, delivering on the promise of the Warm Blood EP from 2016.
Future Me Hates Me is a triumphant take on bittersweet punk-pop that’s crafted with conviction and potential, with songwriter, lead singer and guitarist Elizabeth Stokes delivering lyrics about everything from heartache to hope with wry understatement.
The album’s addictive power only gets stronger with age, as what seemed like just another good first album is rapidly looking to have the staying power of a classic.

From the moment you hit play it's impossible not to be swept up in the infectious energy and momentum of The Beths debut record.
The songs are catchy as heck, making this an album I can see future me returning to time and time again.

The debut from Auckland indie rockers is just really impressive—hook-filled songs filled with energy and attitude, written with depth and played masterfully.
One of the most impressive indie-rock debuts of the year.
