If you’re not familiar with the name Beth Current be sure to make a note now because you’ll definitely be hearing more about this talented young singer from Frankfort, Ky.

The Beth Current Band, playing its last show of 2012 at The Attic in Kettering on Saturday, Dec. 29, created a small buzz with its 2011 debut EP, “Simple Things.” However, that was a mere teaser for her new EP, slated for release in early 2013.

“We spent two-and-a-half weeks this summer in Florida recording a brand new six-song EP,” she said. “We did it with a producer named Brett Hestla, who was the bassist for Creed. He really dug our music and got what we wanted to do with the music. We really connected with each other so we felt like he was our best bet.

“I couldn’t be happier with how the new recordings turned out,” Current continued. “We’ve had a few private listening parties for people and we got some good responses so far. We also got a couple of responses from some labels that are definitely digging this sound more than the other. It’s definitely more mature.”

While the sonic tonal shift was an organic musical evolution, Current admits increased focus on melody was by design.

“We saw the direction we wanted to go,” she said. “It needed to be a bit more mature and a bit more mass-appealing. We decided to try to come up with the stuff that not only we like, but that we thought the public would like as well.

“The first EP was definitely more alternative rock,” she continued. “The second EP is more of a pop-indie kind of thing. It’s catchier and the choruses are more sing-songy. It’s a lot more energetic and easier for people to follow. The tone of the whole EP is more fun.”

Current enjoys the short form nature of EPs.

“We tried to make every song like a single,” she said. “People are buying singles rather than albums so we felt like it will be more successful if we kept it a short amount. If we make sure each song is catchy and keep it under a certain time limit and present it as a single people will probably enjoy it more.

“We couldn’t be more excited about 2013,” Current added. “We’re really ready to get out there and have people see us. We want to meet new people, make some great connections and some new friends and just play music for people.”
