Blush Beat Red are a brand new indie/electronic duo coming out of Toronto who take inspiration from the likes of Crystal Castles & Purity Ring. ”Coyotes in the Hen House” is their very first single and is the only song they have out right now. Expect the duo to drop more goodness in 2013. For now feast your ears on the crazed electro of “Coyotes in the Hen House” below. From this first taste, I think it’s easy to hear the potential. Agree? - Hilly Dilly
Here’s an amazing debut track from Blush Beat Red. An anthemic bit of noisy electro, it’s a very promising start for the Toronto duo. - Silent Shout
There’s something gloriously adorable about this new Toronto band. Blush Beat Red are an adorable duo who make adorable electro-pop that we actually quite like, adorably. - Silent Shout
Excellent new tunes from Blush Beat Red duo out of Toronto were all the best music originates from these days. They may be the first band to send me secrets in addition to the rare tasty tunes…and I’ll never tell! Let’s hope these two keep recording their unique electro-pop beats, and make it on the Pop Montreal list, I’d be down. Solid tracks. - Feast of Beast
This track from Blush Beat Red has a certain sexy underwater quality to it. This is not a statement of chagrin, I rather like it. As someone who spent his childhood on a lake I can't tell you how many times I've gazed into the blue depths of mighty Huron and felt a touch melancholy as I imagined a ripping underwater party involving the cooler fish and mermaids doing all sorts of tricked out dancing and shit.
Of course, as a man I've given up such foolish notions. After all, what sort of mermaid would a fresh water lake produce? Most likely a SUPER SKETCHY one, only emerging to bum smokes and then get mad at you because they aren't waterproof even though water proof smokes don't even exist. Like WTF freshwater mermaids!?! - Blog TO

Here is a track from Toronto-based Blush Beat Red that I debuted on Halcyon Waves last night. This track kind of has a Chromatics feel to me. I think this track has a wide appeal, pleasing fans of synthpop, shoegaze, dreampop and many other genres. Give it a listen... - DJ Mikey from Strangeways Radio

Bio
Blush Beat Red is an electronic band formed in late 2012 by Brett Campbell and Nicole McPhail in Toronto, Canada. The band released their "dark tinged anthemic and crazed electro" single Coyotes in the Hen House taking inspiration from bands such as Crystal Castles and Purity Ring. The band later released the electro-pop and dark disco track Boys and Girls which was described as having a "chromatics feel appealing to fans of synthpop, shoegaze, dreampop, and many other genres".
Blush Beat Red draws on dark synthy textures and gritty basslines while sliding in influences from modern synthpop, all of which is intertwined with Nicoles sultry and raw vocals. It is dark, it is dancy, it is vibey.
