How Did You Form?: Mark, Will and Dave were in bands together for a few years the latter of which was called "Drmeatdic".
When Drmeatdic split up Danny wanted to form a band with Will and Dave, Mark was busy working on Solo noise projects and collaborations. Beecher asked for some noise bits to go with the initial 3 tracks they had written. These tracks were very diffrent from the Beecher you hear today!!!! Mark was asked to come into beecher full time on guitar, and thats when the tunes started flowing.

The experience of Mark, Daves and Wills previous workings stated to flow and shape the Beecher sound you hear today.
Ed was brought into the band in June 2001, after watching the band perform an instrumental multimedia show where live and prerecorded video replaced the vocals as a focal point.
