Beaver (13eaver) was a pivotal Dutch stoner rock band active primarily in the mid-to-late 1990s. They are most historically significant for their deep ties to the Palm Desert Scene, specifically their collaboration with Josh Homme during the formative years of Queens of the Stone Age.
Their sound identity is built on down-tuned, fuzz-heavy guitar work and a rhythm section that emphasizes a 'swinging' heavy groove rather than static metal rigidity. Critically, they were seen as the European counterparts to the Man's Ruin Records aesthetic, blending the raw power of sludge with the psychedelic expansiveness of desert rock. Their career arc peaked with the release of 'Lodge' and 'Mobile', though their entire catalog has since become a holy grail for collectors due to being out of print. They represent a specific moment in the 90s where international underground scenes converged through shared gear obsession and a rejection of polished radio rock.
