Da Lore

Hailing from parts all over, Free Beaver is the passion project of Kurt Derden and Zach Beyer.

From indie and hardcore, scenes they strive for the sound to be anything and everything that is possible.

Starting studio practices at the start of 2025 and shortly putting out a variety of different releases the band has big plans for a proper studio album soon.
