Beachheads’ power pop self-titled debut album from 2017 received great reviews, and was described as "Catchy as fuck" by Stereogum, “Uniformly infectious” by Kerrang and "Bright and resiliently heart-heavy" by Rolling Stone Magazine. Now they’re back with a new album, where producer Frode Stromstad (of I Was a King and The No Ones, the latter featuring R.E.M.’s Peter Buck and Scott McCaughey ) has stripped the classic rock’n’roll tricks to the bone. There might be some fine power pop residues left if you listen carefully, but Beachheads sophomore album might as well be described as Love (Arthur Lee’s psychedelic catchy pop/rock band from the 60’s) with a couple of punk records under their belt, an up-tempo The Smiths anno 2022 or as a post-punk version of early Oasis, where innocence and romance goes hand in hand with social realism and dystopia. You’ll here a fantastic mix of fuzzy guitars, energetic drums and good melodies. “Beachheads II” is the soundtrack of everyday life, a textbook of utter joy and an acceptance of life as it is.
