Do you dig it wet? Well, here’s two boss tunes custom carved like a brand new board for the wet set!! Benny Hammond, well known for his work with The Beechwoods and The Volcanics, is the man behind these splashy surf stompers. Dripping wet with reverb and bathed in California Sun, they truly capture that authentic early 60’s sound. Hodads, Gremmies and independents agree… these high energy pounders will have you waxed up and ready to shoot the curl faster than you can say “Outside”!!!

Before they became Kobanes, these Chicago Ramones-inspired poppy punkers formed this instro-surf band with a creepy, satanic theme and actually came up with twelve great, spooky instrumental surf tunes that transcend the schlock. Recorded in the Mecca of pop-punk, Sonic Iguana, by the Pope of pop-punk, Mass Giorgini ten years ago, then they broke up and none of us even knew about it until now. It's a very unlikely scenario, but hey, the devil works in mysterious ways. John Nunnally

I've seen this SF-based group live a couple of times and they have great, high-energy shows. I listened to this new release of theirs all the way through today and enjoyed tracks 1-8, tracks 9-13 are killer.. TJDMORA
