The Schizophonics

Based in San Diego, The Schizophonics bring together Pat Beers on vocals and guitar, Lety Beers on drums and Sarah Linton on bass. The American trio plays taut, upfront rock that blends garage rock, punk, rhythm and blues and touches of funk, with short, energetic songs built around riffs. The Schizophonics developed their reputation on stage, first in the local rock circuit and then on tour, placing emphasis on the physical energy of their performance and on pronounced grooves. Their aesthetic references both 1960s garage and proto‑punk while retaining a soulful sense of rhythm that avoids mere retro pastiche. Pat Beers’ abrasive guitar, Lety Beers’ tight drumming and Sarah Linton’s bass form a direct formula designed for live shows but grounded in concise songwriting. The Schizophonics have played in fourteen countries and continue a trajectory shaped by life on the road and regular stage practice.
