Interview with Miranda and the Beat

Miranda and The Beat is a young soul/garage rock group from Brooklyn, NY. Last year they put out the fiery single "Don't Say You Love Me" with the stellar b-side "Baby Baby Baby", an instant classic if you ask us. We had the pleasure of speaking with Miranda for this interview and got to learn some more about The Beat. Enjoy!
