Pete Collins – "The Beat of Love", "Sorrow Floats", "Don't Call Me Baby", "Man in the Moon", "I Walk the Earth", "Trust Me" and "I Say Nothing" In October 2017, Bryn and Belland reformed with the original line-up to play a pair of concert dates in London, including the '80s/'90s revival show Indie Daze 4. [4] [5] [6] Band members [ edit ] The group featured Californian lead vocalist sisters Tracey Bryn and Melissa Brooke Belland (daughters of The Four Preps singer Bruce Belland). They teamed with British musicians Mike Jones, Martin Brett, Mark Bedford and Daniel Woodgate, the latter two of whom were former members of Madness. Bedford left after making formative contributions to the band and did not feature again, while Woodgate stayed for most of the band's main period of activity. The band took their name from the Greek meaning of the name Melissa, meaning honey bee. [1] Career [ edit ]I cant believe this album isn't more popular. It's totally perplexing. I'm the first person to review it in over 7 years. Mind-boggling. The members of Voice of the Beehive have gone their separate ways. Tracey Bryn is a teacher in Laguna Beach, California. Melissa Belland runs her own company Made in Heaven, also in Laguna Beach. Martin Brett runs Brett Dempsey Music Productions in London and joined I, Ludicrous on bass guitar in 2008. In 2011, he released his first solo single "Lover's Lane" under his original punk name Brett Martini. He also trained to become a facial hair specialist for film, theatre, and television in 2010. Daniel "Woody" Woodgate still plays drums, together with Mark Bedford on bass, in Madness. Mike Jones lives in Norwich, England and still plays guitar.

Or maybe they did, but when this star crossing happened what transpired from it maintained a resolutely female perspective. Opener The Beat of Love – one of five singles the album spawned – thumped its Doc Martens all over the subject of violent relationships, whilst I Say Nothing dealt with non-conformity to a sparkling avalanche of major chords. Melissa and Tracey contributed a cover of " Five Feet High and Rising" to the Johnny Cash tribute album Til Things Are Brighter (1988), credited as Tracey & Melissa Beehive. Signing with London Records, they recorded ‘Let It Bee’, its sunny exterior of sparkling indie guitars, energetic rhythms matched with lyrics and melodies that revealed both hope and an occasionally cutting cynicism.a b c "Australian Charts > Voice of the Beehive". australian-charts.com Hung Medien .

It's consistent the entire way through, without a drop in quality anywhere on the album. It's a shame this band hasn't received much of the acclaim it deserves. Some may turn their nose up at the fun, playful pop and assume it's not worthy of praise, but those people are dead inside and probably had their father tear up their stuffed animal as a child.Colin Larkin, ed. (1997). The Virgin Encyclopedia of Popular Music (Conciseed.). Virgin Books. p.1221. ISBN 1-85227-745-9.

The band had five Top 40 singles from two albums in the UK. [2] Their biggest commercial success came with the singles "I Say Nothing", " Don't Call Me Baby", "Monsters and Angels" and " I Think I Love You", taken from albums Let It Bee and Honey Lingers. Sex & Misery, a third album, was released in 1996; [3] by this point sisters Tracey and Melissa were the sole group members. The band reformed in 2003 to play a two-week UK tour.Roberts, David (2006). British Hit Singles & Albums (19thed.). London: Guinness World Records Limited. p.588. ISBN 1-904994-10-5.
