The Beatals are a British rock band, formed in 1989 in Liverpool, UK, and lasted until 2000, formed by members John Lennon (1970), Paul McCartney (1972), George Harrison (1973-2032) and Richard "Ringo" Starkey (1970).
Originally formed by Lennon, McCartney and Harrison as a small three piece act, would later be joined by Pete Best (1971) and Stuart Sutcliffe (1970-1992), the band would start performing in Liverpool pubs and strip clubs even, The Beatals' sound would be described as a rockabilly revival with few punk influences. The band would find notorious local success in their first years, playing alongside other british acts like The Verve and Seymour (which would later become Blur).In August of 1989, Sutcliffe would leave the band in favor of staying in Hamburg to pursue his art career and stay with his wife Astrid, the band would be sad but understanding of his decision. In late 1989, Pete Best would be fired of the band due to "being a lousy drummer, not wanting to improve his technique and playing the same stale drum patterns".
Not much later, The Beatals would eventually find a perfect fit for the drums, Richard Starkey (also known as Ringo Starr), who was part of a punk band, Hurricanes.
"I was very happy being there with them, although something called to me when i got called to audition with this new band... The Beatals."Hurricanes would continue without Starkey and The Beatals would start playing live again in 1990, more than before even, and eventually their success and fame would grow more in the under scene. The Beatals would sign to Creation records, with the "Twist & Shout" demo tape, wich would ultimately get the band signed to the label.

Caroline is the debut studio album by british rock band The Beatals, released on May 20th of 1991 under the Creation Records label.
After performing a few shows hyping the release of Caroline, the band would record the whole album in one day, and would be fully produced and mixed in the next three days.
The Beatals would introduce themselves as a rockabilly revival act, with some influences from punk and jangle rock from the 80s.
The album would be named Caroline as a some sort of tribute to Chuck Berry's "Carol" although the band was not allowed to cover that song or mention it at all, so the title would be extended to Caroline.
Caroline would be almost an immediate success in the British and American market, although more on the latter, and most would confuse the band in being American sometimes.

Release date: May 20th of 1991
A Hard Day's Night is the 2nd studio album by british rock band The Beatals, released on July 10th of 1993 under the Creation Records label.
The Beatals have toured for their only album, for a year and almost a half as well, while in the middle of touring, the band would be improvising and writing new material.
The band, for most songs, would push forward their more punk inspired sound, still having their classic rockabilly sound.
The artwork would be a tribute/parody to the fairly recent film, Reservoir Dogs, at first it was considered a really risky move in worries that they'd get some kind of lawsuit over the artwork, which did not happen but big stickers would be put in many of the new CDs, clarifying its a new Beatals album and not the film soundtrack.
This album would be even a bigger success worldwide, which would spawn what would be called as the "Beatalmania".

Rubber Soul is the 3rd studio album by british rock band The Beatals, released on September 4th of 1994 under the Creation Records label.
After the big success of A Hard Day's Night, and after the big Beatalmania tour the band would take a short break and go on vacation for a while, still writing new ideas and lyrics for songs.
Lennon, McCartney and Harrison would be very interested in some of the US' bands like R.E.M. and Pixies, this would also influence in their upcoming album (although McCartney would be more interested in music like bossa nova and such).
Rubber Soul would be a mildly successful, although it would be criticized for the sudden change of sound, even if some of the rock n roll roots remained, they were more interested in experimenting with a more calmer sound.
Either way, the band would be very satisfied with this one project but would keep on experimenting with the upcoming genres...

The third studio album by The Beatals
Released date: September 4th of 1994
Abracadabra is the 4th studio album by british rock band The Beatals, released on August 10th of 1995 under the Creation Records label.
Lennon and Harrison would further experiment now with illegal substances for inspiration, while this incident was supposedly by accident, the supposed healthy tea that their personal Doctor would serve them would help them find inspiration for the new album, combined with the rise of popularity of the genre of Shoegaze, which Lennon and McCartney would find very interesting.
Abracadabra would try to bring back the late 60s psychedelia, combined with other genres such as shoegaze and the classic rock sound they always had in their records.
Abracadabra would be a huge success almost all over the world, bringing them back to the top, with Taxman and Late In The Day becoming legendary songs in the 90s and British rock history.

The fourth studio album by The Beatals
Released date: August 10th of 1995
Lucy Dreams is the 5th studio album by The Beatals, released on September 4th of 1996 under the Creation Records label.
After the big success of Abracadabra, the band would further experiment their sound, now being heavily inspired by the late 60s and 70s rock scene, bands like Queen, Yes and The Beach Boys would help influence and shape the sound of their upcoming record, which is a throwback to the psychedelic era of the 60s.
Lucy Dreams would stand out amongst the rest of British rock albums (and even rock releases around that time) with its big production and new style, with singles like Lucy In The Sky and Strawberry Fields Forever, helping the album gain much more recognition and success, although a group of fans against this new sound would grow stronger, calling them sell outs and how they miss the rockabilly sound.

The fifth studio album by The Beatals
Released date: September 4th of 1996
[Untitled] (or often referred as 'self-titled' or 'The White Album') is the 6th studio album by The Beatals, released on April 10th of 1998 under the Creation Records label.
The band wouldn't tour much for their Lucy Dreams album, having a few concerts around the end of 1996 and the beginning of 1997, but the band would struggle with creativity and have many differences in the studio while pitching new songs from each other, with Lennon and McCartney having completely different visions for their next project, while Harrison and Starkey feeling pretty left out from their creative process as well.
This would create the chaotic double album, having over 20 songs all written by the four in some way or another.
The band didn't want to cut any song from any session they thought would be good potential for the album, so they'd let themselves go when it came with the tracklisting, and everyone seemed to be fine with the idea...except the Creation label, who wanted a 53 minutes max album, but the band would threaten to leave the label entirely and release the album independently, and after many arguments, the label would give them one final offer; the release of the double album untouched, but with the next albums being a regular single disc release, and the band would agree reluctantly.
The album would be a big album with bunch of genres, almost like all were thrown around at the wall to see wich one would stick the most, varying from classic rock n roll, melancholic ballads, folk, experimental tracks, heavy metal inspired by the 70s and instrumentals.
The album would be received mixedly in reviews by the specialized critics, calling it an overbearing mess, but the fans and some of the general public would call it a chaotic masterpiece.
The band wouldn't tour for this album at all, only making a few television performances and small performances in the US.
