Remastered by Dave Gardner, first-ever vinyl edition. Originally released on CD by vocalist\/guitarist Tim Evans' own Unstable Ape label and Laura MacFarlane’s Patsy Records, the album has remained an “IYKYK” among ‘90s underground music heads. This is partly, if not wholly, because they came from a tiny-but-mighty homegrown scene in Hobart, Tasmania. Unlike many of their Aussie peers, the trio managed to tour the US and Europe before calling it a day, quite a feat in the time before GPS or even cell phones.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven twenty-six years after their final show, the small but loyal Sea Scouts fan base demanded a proper Beacon of Hope reissue. A masterpiece of an obscure scene in an obscure era unearthed, these eight songs capture a sonic landscape filled with dread, catharsis, and even the titular hope.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBass, Vocals, Mixed By – Alex Pope\u003cbr\u003eDrums, Mixed By – Monica Fikerle\u003cbr\u003eGuitar, Vocals, Mixed By – Tim Evans\u003cbr\u003eMixed By – Leigh Ritson, Nick Carroll, Sea Scouts\u003cbr\u003eRecorded By – Dan MacKay (tracks: 1-5, 8), Leigh Ritson (tracks: 1-5, 8), Nick Carroll (tracks: 6, 7)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlbum recorded May-July 1998.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zum Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47620440522913,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0635\/1427\/files\/sea.jpg?v=1789698846","url":"https:\/\/store.greennoiserecords.com\/products\/sea-scouts-beacon-of-hope-new-lp","provider":"Green Noise Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
