Beowulf - The Re-Releases
- For a metal band they are definitely not hard to listen to and easy on the ear-drums. The music is rock and roll, and very Berkley. And coming from Venice, California, these head-bangers named BEOWULF (not to be confused with the earlier, L.A.-based hard rockers by the same name) formed in 1984 and feature singer/guitarist Dale Henderson, guitarist Mike Jensen, bassist Paul Yemada, and drummer Michael Alvarado.
The band contributed two tracks to 1985's Suicidal Records' compilation Welcome to Venice, and then quickly recorded and released their Self-Titled debut a year later. This was followed by 1988's Lost My Head...But I'm Back on the Right Track LP, which was issued through Caroline Records and featured a banging version of Smokey Robinson's "Cruising." But to disappointment BEOWULF could not raise above the era's crawling thrash metal bands alright out there, and the group decided to split up a short time later. This is a reissue of all their material.
