This remarkable punk rock trio was formed in New York City in 1981 by Mike
Diamond and Adam Yauch, with drummer Kate Schellenbach and guitarist John
Berry. Their first steps together were a good sign of active influence on
the flourishing underground club scene. Two years later, they merge forces
with aspiring record moguls Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons and their
fledgling Def Jam Records to produce some high-quality records that send
them to a tour with pop-diva Madonna. The bands debut album Licensed to Ill
comes three years being a real sensation with its mix of heavy metal riffs,
punk attitude, and hip-hop taste. The second record release is another
miracle on the punk scene; Paul's Boutique is considered as a sign of the
great progress that Beastie Boys have reached in their career as artists.
This advance logically prompts them to establish their own record label
(Grand Royal) and start recording in their own studio (G-Son). These new
conditions pave the way for their third album release Check Your Head that
marks their great return in 1992. The subsequent Ill Communication confirms
their status of one of the most influential bands of the decade. After a
4-year period of keeping behind the scene, Beastie Boys appear in the
spotlight with the release of 1998's Hello Nasty that repeats the success of
its predecessors. The bands latest release so far is The Sounds of Science,
a compilation that includes rare mixes and unreleased tracks. Beyond their
gravitational activity, Beastie boys are also famous for being founders of
The Milarepa Foundation which is dedicated to draw global attention to the
consequences of Chinese oppression of Tibet and its people. Other field of
activity for the boys are publishing (founders of Grand Royal Magazine) and
fashion (X-Large Clothing is their own line).
