Sons of Beaches is the third studio album from Australian rock band Australian Crawl, [2] released in July 1982. It became the band's second #1 in the Australian albums charts (for 5 weeks). [3] The album was recorded in Hawaii with ex-pat Mike Chapman, who had also produced Blondie and The Knack. [4]
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 (and Princess Sag)' with ease." [5]
Songwriting credits from Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA).
