Debut 7 song EP for Adelaide pop punk three piece Beaver. When I say pop punk, I am referring to the golden era Epitaph / Fat Wreck sound of the 90s. On the back of their awesome demo, Beaver deliver another solid release with this debut 7". In a throwback to the Satanic Surfers, drummer Dan Jones provides vocals for Beaver. Dan is perhaps best known for fronting God So Loved The World or Seraphs Coal and comes a cross a little like Down By Law era Dave Smalley on this recording. Musically this has a modern Descendents feel to it and is rounded off by awesome covers of Face To Face and Dag Nasty. All of these ingredients earn you top marks with me as a reviewer.
