*Signed by Robbie Dunbar* Earth Quake was among the musical figureheads of the successful US label Beserkley Records (1973-1986) from Berkeley, California, alongside Greg Kihn, The Tyla Gang, Rubinoos, and Jonathan Richman. Former A&M Records in-house producer and A&R scout Matthews King Kaufmann founded the label with the intention of "having fun and producing great records." Starting in 1975, the label's bands conquered the charts worldwide with their power pop rock, receiving plenty of airplay -- as did Earth Quake's cover of the Easybeats hit "Friday on My Mind."
