Beat Surrender, Foundation, 1985 on Shake Records

Beat Surrender (this one at least – there are many things by that name including the Jam’s last single) was a Boston band made up of Paul Souza, Jackson White, David Matthews, and Ted Lyon. Check out that 1985 look on the back cover!

Paul Souza went on to be in The Velveteen Playboys and Meliah Rage, and Jackson White went on to be in the Molly Maguires, Buster (with Phoebe Bridgers), and the Chris White Experience (with Chris White of The Zombies).
