Ed Schrader's Music Beat are a Baltimore-based duo consisting of vocalist/drummer Schrader and bassist Devlin Rice, who play a stripped-down form of garage punk, alternating between frantic thrashing and spacious, steadily paced crooning. They are one of many acts who have emerged from the Wham City collective, and have extensively toured or collaborated with other Wham City associates such as Dan Deacon and Future Islands. Debuting with the frantic Jazz Mind in 2012, the duo's sound expanded with the Deacon-produced Riddles (2018) and the darker yet still danceable Nightclub Daydreaming (2022).
