The Newbeats were an American popular music vocal trio, led by Larry Henley, best known for their 1964 hit, "Bread and Butter", which was released on the Hickory Records label.

The group's members were:

Their mother taught brothers Dean and Mark Mathis the guitar as children, and they soon mastered other musical instruments--piano, bass guitar and drums. They both played in the band at Bremen High School, Georgia, and decided on a career in the music industry upon leaving education. Dean joined Paul Howard's Western Swing Band in 1956 as pianist, then joined Dale Hawkins' band, where his brother soon joined as a bass player. They stayed with the band for two years, recording "Tell Him No" as a duo for the Chess record label. They then started their own eight-piece band and played in their hometown of Shreveport, Louisiana. It was here that they met Larry Henley, who auditioned for the band. A parting of the ways ensued when Henley tried his luck as a solo artist, and the brothers worked as a duo, both recording independently for Wesley Rose.
