Sons of Beaches


Sons of Beaches is the third studio album from Australian rock band Australian Crawl, released in July 1982. It became the band's second #1 in the Australian albums charts. The album was recorded in Hawaii with ex-pat Mike Chapman, who had also produced Blondie and The Knack.

Reception

Cash Box magazine said "Recorded in Hawaii with studio mastermind Mike Chapman, the Aussie sextet can boomerang from brooding songs about 'Daughters of the Northern Coast' to a silly bop tune like 'King Sap ' with ease."
