The Beautiful was an American rock band from New York City, with a line-up that consisted of Jonathan Lacey (vocals, guitar), Perry Bottke (bass), and Frank Ferrer (drums). Signed to Warner Bros. subsidiary Giant Records (Warner), the group issued a pair of releases - a five-song, self-titled EP in September 1990, and a full-length album, Storybook, in May 1992. The group received some media coverage, including a feature article in Rip Magazine and a video clip for the song "John Doe" being aired on the Headbanger's Ball program on MTV, but by 1993, the group split up.
