There are 3 acts with the name "Beaver":

1) Beaver is a stoner rock band from the Netherlands. Beaver gained some fame with a split EP with Queens of the Stone Age (Man's Ruin), when it was still just a Josh Homme side-project, not a band. They also backed Josh on his stoner-hymn "18 A.D" on the "Burn One Up" album.

2) Jonathan "Beaver" Sheppard, born in Harbour Grace, Newfoundland, Canada.

Known simply around town as Beaver, he makes low-fi bedroom 4-track songs with his guitar and pieces of drum kit lying around his apartment. Occasionally he'll tamper with sounds on his mpc2000 and fruity loops.

Live performances are epic, intimate, heart-warming and sincere. His spastic strumming, garbled and personal lyrics, and sometimes wailing vocals can be compared to that of Daniel Johnston.

Beaver has shared the stage with: Sunset Rubdown, Billy Childish, Xiu Xiu, Frog Eyes, Ris Paul Rick, Think About Life and many others.

3) Beaver was an early 80s hardcore punk band from the US. They released one self-titled 7" in 1981.
