Voice Of The Beehive - Monsters And Angels

[@VideoArchiveGuy]

I will never, EVER understand why Voice of the Beehive didn't receive more attention - it's simply incredible music in ANY era.

[@Totalavulsion]

33 likes of your comment in 9 years also says a lot. I’m puzzled too.

[@6331ted]

They like it that way. But, then again, maybe….

[@Nobody_Fresh]

I agree 100%

[@kostas6621]

I know right? ❤❤❤

[@carlthejedi]

I only found out about them as their drummer is Daniel Woodgate wh drumed for my favourite band madness

[@aidancross9756]

This is a seriously underrated song. This was a big part of the soundtrack to the summer of 1991 for me. I remember being disappointed when it only peaked at number 17, it deserved to be at least a Top 5 hit.

[@neilburgess2186]

Probably one of the most underrated bands ever, this is a great tune..

[@russhartman4927]

Been 27 years since I fell for this song, haven't heard it in 20 years.....think I love it more today.

[@sonjw7392]

A very underrated band.They deserved more recognition.Loved their songs

[@Nicko6180]

Whenever i went to the pub with my dad (Who tragically died nearly 6 years ago) i used to put this song on the jukebox a lot. It still sounds as good as it ever did.

[@rw8733]

It's amazing how music can take you back in time. 😪

[@anthonylee9943]

Even old punk rockers like me enjoy hearing this.

[@paulbessant8182]

Snap!

...and the scandinavian black metal guys! Don't forget about us!

Missy (Melissa) was a soft core punker back in the day.

[@Eldritch-1]

Yep, great band

[@garymccabe9348]

Drummer was the drummer for madness

[@Bruxxy2024]

This band reminds me of my childhood. Late 80s, early 90s. When the world seemed a better place. Love this song even though it's 30 or so years old. Brilliant memories

[@laniganabstract9081]

"There are Monsters there are Angels. There's a peacefulness and a rage inside us all"....'Bout sums it up!

Old comment but that line really sticks out to me too. We are all capable of great good and evil.

Absolutely amazing band ! Going through a hard time then. Lyrics kept me going! Saved my life 😘

Wow awesome

[@videohut4445]

This song should have hit number one. Great song. Would be number one if it was released today.

It didn't even make the top 10 back in 1991 when it was out

[@videohut4445]

@@MampsUK Unbelievable! Would be number one today.

[@MampsUK]

@videohut4445 of course its an awesome tune. Do u remember other tunes like I say nothing and the follow up tune I think I love u which was in Oct 91

[@RichardSamuelsxx7]

@@MampsUK Yes, I do remember those excellent songs. Another great song I Walk The Earth. Music will never be that good again.

[@MampsUK]

@@RichardSamuelsxx7 I never heard that tune of theirs I ll check it out thanks

[@optic_reviews2472]

i was 9 years old when this song came out i remember it like it was yesterday, this song has been and tell this day , hold a special place in my life, since i dealt with depression since i was a kid , this song was the main reason why i am alive tell this day it kept me from being suicidal . i miss this band but i am truly forever grateful that i grew up listening to amazing songs like monsters and angels.

Sounds like a mixture between Wilson philips and the Bangles. Catchy tune. I remember them supporting Crowded House in Liverpool in about 1992/93

No, no much better than The Bangles and infinitely better than Wilson Phillips. VOTB were class.

@@joppyowens8358 Correct, I was at Maine Road Manchester when they were accompanying Simple Minds along with OMD and The Stranglers, superb day.

[@Species1571]

Just heard this on the radio on the way home from work and was trying to remember who it was. Wilson Phillips was as close as I could get but knew it wasn't right. I could have sat there all week and not come up with Voice of the Beehive. Great blast from the past though and better than almost anything from the class of 2022.

[@scarlettphoenix7024]

This has been my favorite song since I was in my 20’s. It was “me”. “Some girl” in Laguna Beach…I’m 56. Life is good!

[@hankadelicflash]

That's funny because one of the lead singers lives in Laguna Beach now, or has a shop there at least, or did, the article I just read was a few years old.

[@stevec3813]

Both Tracey and Melissa live in laguna beach. One is an artist at sawdust, the other teaches art to kids.

This great song still plays on radio here in UK heard it on radio 105 today

they play it on kroq of the 80s online.. stream it to your car, no commercials :)

this takes me right back to happier times with my family and all my friends at the christian church i went to.

[@inphanta]

Mid teens, summer holidays, going to my friend's house on my bike to hang out and play computer games. This was on the radio. Simpler times. :D

[@Dead-Ball-Situation]

I had to take in a gulp of air, such was the impact of the sudden awesomeness of this song, especially the chorus, which I haven't heard in what must be almost 30 years. So original. I love it.

I hadn't heard this song/album in 2 decades! Now, I can't stop listening to it again!

Wow, I haven't listened to this in 20 years or more. Mind blown!

I remember listening to this on the way from college in Baltimore in 1991. Cerphe Colwell would play this on his evening 'Progressive Show' on WJFK. Despite it being on AM (at least up in B'more) it was worth a listen!

I heard this song one time on the radio, back in the late 80's I guess it was. I remember saying that it was going to be a hit. Then I never heard it again, LOL. I remembered the DJ saying the name of the band. I thought he said "Force of the Beehive", hehe. Needless to say, I could never find any group with that name. But I finally found it again. Thanks for posting video.
