**The Bellwether Syndicate present enigmatic ‘Beacons’ single & video, navigating
through realism**

_“Goth Rock Tornado… hair-raising speed, riff-racing insanity and badass drum/bass
force… William Faith‘s edged Goth-infused vocals rumble all over this super-duper
sucker-punch steamroller”_ ~ **Turn Up The Volume**

_“Anything but conventional when it comes to rock music… the band is one of the 
most unique dissonant sounds in the scene”_ ~ **Outburn Magazine**

_“Amazing, stunning… Post-punk on a not-very-discreet death rock orientation” _~**
The Noise Journal**

_“The time seems right for a new wave of post-punk to be ushered in. But I suspect
that is already underway, and The Bellwether Syndicate is leading the charge” ~ _**
Big Takeover Magazine**

_“A glittery piece of glamorous darkness…with William Faith’s crooning vocals and
Sarah Rose smoothly cascading guitars”_ ~ **Post-Punk.com**

Chicago-based alternative post-punk outfit [**The Bellwether Syndicate **](http://www.thebellwethersyndicate.com/)
presents** **[**‘Beacons’**](https://youtu.be/CRNdc-XJIMI), the second single from
single from the band’s ‘Vestige & Vigil’ album, scheduled for release in April 2023
via [**Nexilis Records**](https://www.facebook.com/nexilis.music/)** /  Schubert
Music Europe** and [**Sett Records **](https://www.facebook.com/settrecords/)in 
North America. The single debuted at #4 in the DAC/German Alternative Charts.

‘Beacons’ exerts its nautical feel in both tone and verse, with the ‘set adrift’
narrative supported by liquid, chorused guitars and distress-signal bass and synth,
before the whole thing kicks into a full steam ahead chorus, with chiming, glorious
guitars chasing the pulsing beat and soaring vocal all the way home.

The Bellwether Syndicate is made up of **William Faith** (vox, guitars), **Sarah
Rose Faith** (vox, guitars),** Philly Peroxide** (keyboards, percussion),** Stevyn
Grey **(drums) and** Corey Gorey** (guitars).

“‘Beacons’ is simply a love song to our family: our people — our fans. We’d be truly
lost at sea without them, and every time we get ready to play a live gig, they really
are the beacons that guide us home, to that moment where we’re together in a safe
harbor and everything is possible. That moment is everything to us, and it’s what
we live for,” says** William Faith**.

Earlier, the band released the lead track** **[**‘Dystopian Mirror’**](https://youtu.be/c2MPiPgEHs4),
which reached #11 in the German Alternative Charts (DAC). This glam-noir single 
wields a relentless assault of hard-edged guitars, buzzsaw synths and tribal beats
set the stage for a guided tour through the realm of the unwell, spat out with sardonic
conviction by the voices in your head.
