The Best Bee-Side Band

I first got into Voice of the Beehive after hearing their single "Monsters and Angels" on a particularly significant day of my freshman year of high school, in the fall of 1991.  I immediately went to Musicland in The Mall in Hays, Kansas, to purchase the album Honey Lingers  (yes, that's a play on the word cunnilingus - say it with a British accent!) which included that song.   From there, I fell in love with the album and played it to death.  While it's a top-notch album, it's also fairly short - clocking in at just over a half hour. Soon, I needed some more Beehive in my life and was lucky enough to find their debut album, Let It Bee , on vinyl at my local record store (GB Records) and because it was a used promo copy, I paid around $1 for it - which was great since I was a broke teenager!  I thought Let It Bee was a little more raw, and had some strange songs on it, but I thought it showcased the girls' vocal harmonies even better than Honey Lingers .
