Every Step's a Yes

For a band less than a decade old, The Bees have packed in a lot of highs. They released their Mercury Prize nominated debut album Sunshine Hit Me to critical acclaim in March 2002. Having notoriously recorded those first songs in key Bee Paul Butler's garden shed, the band decamped to Abbey Road for follow-up Free The Bees two years later. Tours with Fleet Foxes, Oasis and collaborations with Gorillaz followed before the band returned to a new, improved, indoor studio on the Isle of Wight for their third album Octopus in 2007.
