Biography

Formed in London in 1986, alternative pop rock band Voice of the Beehive was the brainchild of American sisters Tracey Bryn and Melissa Brooke Belland, daughters of vocalist Bruce Belland (of The Four Preps fame). Taking the name from a Bette Davis film, the duo soon recruited guitarist Mike Jones, bassist Mark Bedford, and drummer Daniel Woodgate to record their first demos. Following Bedford’s early departure, the Belland sisters added guitarist Martin Brett to their lineup and released Let It Bee, their studio debut, in 1988. Preceded by the Top 40 singles “Don’t Call Me Baby” and “I Say Nothing,” the album reached Number 13 in the UK and quickly garnered comparisons to established acts like The Bangles and Blondie. A second album titled Honey Lingers saw the light in 1991, spawning the UK hits “Monsters and Angels” “I Think I Love You,” and “Perfect Place.” After a four-year hiatus plagued by personal problems, Voice of the Beehive re-emerged as a duo for 1996’s Sex & Misery, which earned them their biggest hit on American soil through the single “Scary Kisses,” breaking into the Billboard Hot 100 at Number 77.
