Defunct Local Band Profile Series: BeeFMouTH

It's now time for this month's Defunct Local Band Profile Series, as we continue our monthly spotlighting of defunct and inactive local metal, hard rock, and punk bands for current readers! We're flashing back two decades for this month's randomly selected band, who have some very familiar faces for contemporary and modern fans alike, so here's what you should know!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BeeFMouTH

Genre: Noise Rock/Hardcore Punk

Hometown: Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario

Members: (This information is incomplete, particularly regarding the full identity of "Neunen". Let us know if you can fill in any blanks!)

Boyd "Bwaad" Rendell (AlgomA), vocals/guitar
Kevin "MoDez" Campbell (AlgomA), bass/vocals
"Neunen", drums

Audio/Video: If BeeFMouTH recorded or released any studio material, it isn't available online, but at least seven vintage videos from their original run can be seen on their posthumous YouTube channel, which first began posting available footage back in 2008. These are primarily jam session clips of original songs, but two VHS camcorder videos were posted there from a concert at Club Princess back in 1999, including their set-opening performance of "White", which is embedded below. As well, Boyd later posted a Koolies & Cues video and another jam clip to his personal YouTube channel, and a private (if short) jam session video from 2013 was uploaded to his film company's YouTube channel.

Info/Analysis: Self proclaimed as "the bulldog of the ponies", BeeFMouTH (intentionally capitalized like that) were a fan favourite noise rock band that was active locally from 1997-2001, debuting on stage in November 1999. Their original run predated social media, but their YouTube channel and posthumous Facebook page (updated from 2011-2016) helped refresh memories of the band via vintage photos, videos, and concert posters. In their heyday, they were frequently seen sharing the stage with bands like Bankshot, Downshift, and Thessalon hardcore band Foul Play, and they received perhaps their biggest audience when they opened for AFI at the Princess in July 2000. Over a decade after disbanding, Boyd & Kevin resurfaced with new stage names in their current doom metal trio AlgomA, though Kevin is their primary singer in this band. In October 2013, BeeFMouTH reunited for a jam session filmed for YouTube, though a rumoured public reunion set did not follow.

As I was 12 when BeeFMouTH disbanded, I cannot speak first-hand for their local run, but they had an entertaining live attack that helped lay the groundwork for their future music work! This band had a faster, more energetic sound than AlgomA's intentionally doomy and slow approach, though it fit right in with the very active local hardcore punk scene locally at the turn of the millenium, and Boyd's high screams helped set them apart! The guys have obviously gotten more refined and experienced as musicians and for their equipment since, but BeeFMouTH are worth checking out for fans and those curious as to what they were up to pre-AlgomA!
