This is part of Alternative Tentacles' "Skate-Punk Reissues" series.
Skatepunk pioneers Free Beer blessed the San Francisco punk scene with a unique, driving sound that would go on to influence countless other bands through the years. While not the only ones planting the seeds for skate-friendly hardcore at the time, the bandmembers were genuinely made up of skateboarders who only wanted to make music that they could skate to. Railing against girls, religion, parents, the army, sobriety, and virtually any other thing that would get in the way of their lifestyle, the simplistic anthems offered by Free Beer were urgent messages to likeminded kids who were lucky enough to hear their records. The production varies wildly throughout the album, at times sounding like completely different bands if it wasn't for the presence of singer Mike Cassidy. But Cassidy's flat voice and sarcasm-free persona is a welcome change from the majority of bands from this era, making his efforts from song to song a welcome element. Anyone searching for one of the originators of the skatepunk scene needs to look no further than Only Beer That Matters, a solid chunk of aggressive rock that lovingly recalls an era when both punk and skateboarding were merely innocent escape routes for a small portion of America's disaffected youth. ~ Bradley Torreano
