Nine heavy surf instrumentals from America´s heaviest surf instrumental combo Bat City Surfers. Like AC/DC meets Link Wray! For fans of Kill, Baby...Kill! and the Sand Worms.

What happens when an over-enthusiastic fan of doo-wop starts giving guitar lessons to a rockabilly drummer? Soon they draw the attention of a bass guitarist and his band mate-drummer, both happy punk rockers, and there it is - first Slovenian instrumental surf band. The famous ´60s ´waterproof´ formula still works nowadays. Their sound is not dreamy, it´s rather harsh. The music is fast, with all the necessary ingredients needed; oriental sound, rockabilly, ska. Alan Taylor of Pipeline Magazine writes, "Quite honestly, I don´t know how to convey how stunning this whole set is; exciting, driving guitar blasts! I have no hesitation in naming this the best ever album from a modern surf band."

Blue Wave Theory is surf rock dominated by musical impressions of sand, sun, and crashing waves, sneaking in the occasional odd time signature and using the cavernous roar of the mighty reverb tank. The album starts off in a decidedly retro-esque Dick Dale/Pulp Fiction vein with Gumby Goes Green and then immediately takes a left turn with the more progressive Huckster, featuring a lenthy drum solo workout and a surreal space jam. Other tracks, like the psychedelic Mermaid in Japan, venture into Mermen territory by way of Pink Floyd – you can almost get stoned just by listening, and you can almost hear the guitar pick disintegrating. The moody riff of Labyrinth is reminiscent of early King Crimson's more mathematical moments, adding the pomp and big chord dramma of progressive metal during the transitions. The album ends by returning to a more traditonal surf sound with Skyhawk Beach and the punk-inspired Road Hazard.

Inspiration often occurs in unexpected and seemingly disparate ways. For their second album, Blue Wave Theory draws influence from a wide variety of sources including Superstorm Sandy, Holstein cows, black & white TV, the theremin, Hawaiian volcanoes, a restaurant in Puerto Rico, woodchuck hunting, Rhode Island getaways, driving the highways of upstate New York, playing Frisbee at the Jersey Shore, The Endless Summer, and Saab automobiles. Named after 2012’s horrific east coast hurricane, Blue Wave Theory’s new release Superstorm coalesces these inspirations into the creation of a powerful aural landscape rooted in instrumental surf music and spiced with occasional echoes of reggae, rockabilly, fusion, and psychedelia. Close your eyes and enjoy the journey as Blue Wave Theory takes you on a musical road trip through America.

Blue Wave Theory´s new album Beachcombing is a 15-song collection of live performances and previously unreleased studio recordings. Included in this release are unique Blue Wave Theory instrumental interpretations of classic hits including Time is on My Side, What a Wonderful World, and the seasonal favorite Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). In addition this compilation contains Blue Wave Theory versions of two vintage instrumental rock classics: Neal Hefti´s Batman Theme, and Link Wray´s Rumble. Rounding out the album are some new Blue Wave Theory originals including Listening To Shells, Haile Selassie Hits The Beach, and Moonburn.

This very unusual CD features 20 vocal interpretations of Blue Wave Theory´s great instrumentals. Very unique and very fun!

Driven by mystic vibes, Catsith are an instrumental black surf/dark twist/rock´n´roll quartet formed at the beginning of 2018 in Moscow, Russia. The band features musicians coming from street punk Black Kassidy and doom metal gang Dazed Presidents. Inspired by the ´60s sounds of surf music, imbued with the energy of rockabilly, punk rock, russian folk, horror and psychedelic.

The Centellas are a surf rock band from Mexico made up of three women: Lu Berry on guitar, Nidia Vargas on bass and Elva Pena on drums. They started playing on February 10, 2018, in Mexico City. They are an "all girl band" since the work and collaboration between women is interested that share and allow them to exercise their art fully and effectively. The passion for music and the love for surf music are the elements that brought them together. Six tracks.

Downtown Beach is a kick-ass collection of new surf rock tunes that simultaneously returns instrumental rock to it´s roots and pushes the envelope of ´Surf Music´ to it´s bleeding edge. The hollow-body guitars, big bass, booming drums, and raw mixes on Downtown Beach are typical of early instro-rock pioneers such as Link Wray and Duane Eddy, while the arrangements and attitude are completely modern. Chum is not your daddy´s surf music. No pretty harmonies, no old ladies from The Valley, no matching suits/hawaiian shirts... Chum is about a good time fueled by pints of the good stuff (insert your favorite beer here, or use Guinness as a reliable default). Chum is guitar, bass, drums, reverb, volume, some attitude, and a suitcase full of bad jokes. Chum hails from the South Bay of Los Angeles, CA. Yeah, the same area that brought you Dewey Weber, The Belairs, The Beach Boys, Black Flag, and Pennywise. Surf music by surfers, for surfers... For those who know what a mouth full of salt water tastes like, the smell of a wetsuit that´s been in your trunk a bit too long, and a crotch full of sand.

Arizona´s rockinest surf combo gets nuts with their new 13-song surf/instro debut.

The Compartmentalizationists have a good, meaty sound that is solidly in the surf vein, though I swear I hear shades of Sonic Youth. It´s not too fast, but not listless; patient is the word, allowing the songs to find a great sonic space. I love the march of the opening track "Trepanning", the deep twang and build-up and release of "Born Without a Neck", and the teetering between delicateness and power on "Blurry Eyes". Hunter King, WTUL-FM

The classic first CD from London´s premier surf combo Dead Man´s Curve! World Catastrophe Generator delivers heavy punch of modern surf featuring edge, sophistication, twang, and a story to tell. Each song is preceded by a narrative (on separate tracks) that reveals a chapter in a spy tale. Very cool!

With well-developed tracks rich in texture and subtlety, We Will Prevail shows that London's Dead Man's Curve can deliver a solid second release.

Eddie Ugata, a vintage guitar collector and one of Japan´s foremost authorities on 1960s surf music, formed the El Caminos in 1994 out of the ashes of his previous band The L.S.D.s, who achieved popularity in the Kansai garage scene. The El Caminos debut album "Knock´em Out" was released in 1995. The band´s mission statement: "pursuing the sounds of 1960s surf music without limits" embodies their sound. The El Caminos started to receive attention from surf instrumental enthusiasts, not only in Japan but throughout the world. Their second album, "Surfer´s Lounge" was released in June of 1996 and attracted attention from surf music fans overseas. The El Caminos released a best album called "Reverb Explosion" in August of 1997 on the legendary DEL-FI Records, a label that has a very special place in the heart of Eddie. All 15 tracks were personally selected by label founder Bob Keane for a US release. The album stirred up a great response: the track "Sumo Wrestler" even reached the number one spot on the chart of a college radio station on the West Coast. The El Caminos experienced several changes in membership over the years and continued their activities at a slow pace. In 2005, the band released their third album "Beatrama." In 2013, the band played their first show overseas at the Surf Guitar 101 Convention.

Copenhagen, Denmark. Not the most likely place for a band to emerge with the obvious surfing pedigree of El Ray. The band show a versatility of sound and an ear for catchy, toe tapping melody which takes them beyond the cliches that can often be associated with the surfing genre. Combining a fresh, modern style with a healthy nod to the past, ´surf with a twist´ El Ray have managed to achieve a new, classic sound. Their 3 full length releases, the two 10" inches and the singles are known to have been recorded during blizzards, far far away from the sunny side of life and Californian lifestyle. Whatever it is, El Ray is the band that keeps on giving that goosebumbing and hair raising Instro-surf! El Ray´s merits has proved the band to be a serious contender in writing and performing modern instrumentals that would make your hifi-stereo A GO-GO!! The 4 Scandinavian Instro-surfers have build their own brand within the surfing circles since 2001. Mixing their dynamic, cool punked up surf tunes with a huge spoonful of rock´n´roll and a tad indie to make everybody happy when "it´s better to be surf than sorry." El Ray are always ready to invite their audience to ride the wild waves of surf in clubs all over. Better Surf Than Sorry – it´s time to join the party!

Brilliant follow-up to their amazing New Wave Order, The Tsultry Tsounds of Go!Tsunami goes deeper into the wild and fantastical world of surf music.

Shrouded in sinister mystery and cloaked in regaled debauchery, let’s sneak in on the Facebook page of Go!Tsunami and see what this band has to say for themselves. “Inspiring terrifying screams of euphoria, Go!Tsunami ascends from its subterranean machine shop to unleash a powerful dose of instrumental rock and surf on an unsuspecting, immediately willing and ultimately awestruck audience.” There they said it. You will neither see nor hear anything like this band in Springfield, and quite possibly in the known universe, other than the Chef Shangri-La in Chicagoland now and then. The fearsome foursome of Riptide, Stingray Jr., Stan Overboard and The Fury, also known as the “masked henchmen of horror,” don bizarre hockey masks and play strangely estranged surf-like music “that conjure images of hot rods, horror movies, long boards, tiki idols, beach parties, exotic islands, classic cars, pinups, cheap beer and rum.” – Tom Irwin, Illinois Times 6/20/2013

Eleven more wild, fun, and edgy surf guitar and farfisa-driven instrumentals from the wilds of Springfield, Illinois!

Their first release in four years, Cosmopolis is a surf, rock and jazz fueled trip through the past 20 years of Laika's career and including material never before released in the U.S. Renowned for the technical prowess of their fuzz-drenched, tremolo-happy surf rock, Laika sounds like a 50s sci-fi film soundtrack interpreted by David Gilmour, and Cosmopolis is no exception. The album also continues the band's experimentation with elements of funk and world music, rendering sounds that would not be out of place on works by dj's and producers like Thievery Corporation or Mark Farina. Weighing in at an astounding 27 tracks, the album is their most extensive work to date and promises to spread the word about Laika's world class chops and mind-expanding sound to another generation of music lovers.

An ´instrumental´ by definition is a song without words. But what record collector geeks like myself know is that there are two scenarios for every classic in the Great Instrumental Songbook. Either that song started out with words and a garage band turned it into a guitar instrumental, or, once an instrumental became a hit, some aspiring knucklehead came along and wrote words to it.

The third album by those mysterious masked surfers Los Straitjackets! Features 12 classics including Kawanga!, Hornet's Nest, My Heart Will Go On, Sing Sing Sing, and more!

Features 13 instrumental classics including DiPinto Twist, Time Bomb, Beach Bag, Galaxay Drive, and more!

Incredible live set featuring 20 classics that Los Straitjackets are know for including, Casbah, Calhoun Surf, Itchy Chicken, Kawanga, Squad Car, Pacifica, Rawhide, and more!

As Los Straitjackets approach their 25th anniversary, Yep Roc is happy to reissue their long out-of-print album, Viva! Los Straitjackets. The album features some of Los Straitjackets biggest hits, including "Pacifica" and "The Casbah," both of which remain staples of the band´s live set today. AllMusic declared it the best guitar-based instrumental album of the year, saying "The Shadows/Ventures of the ´90s arrive as a quarter in Mexican wrestling masks, burgundy turtlenecks, black jeans, black Converse and bedecked in silver sun pendants."

As Los Straitjackets approach their 25th anniversary, Yep Roc is happy to reissue their long out-of-print debut album, The Utterly Fantastic and Totally Unbelievable Sounds of Los Straitjackets. As the album title implies, Los Straitjackets knew exactly how unique their signature surf rock sound was from the beginning. The album features some of Los Straitjackets biggest hits, including "Fury" and "Itchy Chicken," both of which remain staples of the band´s live set today.

Los Venturas have to offer a warm, varied, powerful, and danceable instrumental live set, with one single purpose at heart: throwing a decent party and set the scene for one hell of a night. Based on the Californian ´60s surf sound, they create a unique but accessible blend, fusing an array of different styles such as euro-instro, rock, funk soul, rai, and gipsy. For over 14 years, they have been touring all over Europe and even in California. Driven by positive vibes, they bring their Euro-instro with a wink and a smile, providing just the right spark to set the night on fire.

After 18 years of playing, Los Venturas have marked their spot in the international scene of instrumental guitar music called ´surf music.´ That label however is too small for what the band brings its crowd: there´s exotica, balkan, ska, soul, rock ´n roll. Some have already uniquely labelled it ´world surf music.´ The band itself rather sticks with ´penetrating guitar instrumentals´. This unique fusion of styles has been approved by many crowds in Europe and over the Atlantic. Not to be surprised, as their accessible music guarantees good vibes. On top, their many years of experience can be heard as a flawless live performance. In short, they know how to throw a party, in diverse settings and different stages, going from clubs to festivals, inland or at the seashore.

Their many years of writing music can be heard on 7 albums/singles that were released from 2001 on: Sharkfest, Aloha Summer, Surfers Brew, Besame Mucho, Kaleydoskop, Paisley Beach, and Miles High. The last 3 albums were recorded and produced in Los Angeles by Pete Curry (Los Straitjackets, Jon & The Nightriders) and released under Green Cookie Records. Green Cookie Records and Los Venturas proudly present their 4th cooperation: "Playtime!." Unlike the previous albums, this one is 100% made in Belgium: recorded at Nico Leonard´s Pum Pum Hotel in Charleroi, mixed at Great Oak Studios by Steven Van Gelder, and produced by Sam Pieter Janssens.

Playtime! features 11 originals, each of them a world on its own thanks to the use of multiple instruments, techniques, and the added value of some top notch guest appearances. Whether you’re a DJ, collector, music lover or player, don’t hesitate to purchase your copy, and… play it!!

Since 2010, The Man From RavCon (aka, Mike Brown), has been creating adventurous, atmospheric instrumental music featuring Mellotron enriched arrangements accentuated by piano and organ, interweaving synths, bass, dynamic percussion, and melodic guitar. Blending influences of 70's classic FM album rock (Stones, Kraftwerk, Steely Dan, Supertramp) with a melodic prog flavor, The Man From RavCon's ninth release, Another World, may be considered a somewhat more accessible work than his most recent offerings, but is no less adventurous in scope. With contributions from special guests, guitarist Larry Smith, and flutist Jeff Eacho, Another World features a more lighthearted, breezy vibe making it the perfect soundtrack for Summer 2018 and beyond.

As with his two most recent critically acclaimed releases, Skyscraper (2013) and The Puzzle Master (2015), Strange Universe further expands on The Man From RavCon's (a.k.a. Mike Brown) explorations into the realm of melodic, ambient instrumental Progressive Rock.

Diving deeper still into instrumental progressive rock territory explored on previous albums, the weaving synths & guitars, soaring mellotron, and alternate rhythms provide listeners with an even more expansive instrumental listening experience. As reviewer, Ian Jane, of RockShockPop.com stated, “it’s the type of thing you want to lie down and listen to alone in the dark, just to really take it all in properly.”

The Man From RavCon creates melodic instrumental music… music with a strong visual appeal designed to create images in the listener's mind… music that takes the listener someplace else. Skyscraper is the soundtrack to a dozen yet-to-be-made independent films. But honestly, you don't need film. The music is all you need...

This is the soundtrack to the greatest B-movie never made! This release explores the music of Spaghetti Western, Blaxploitation, and B-horror cinema from the 60's through the early 80's. Influences range from the Italian film composers Ennio Morricone, Luis Bacalov, and Fabio Frizzi, to the blaxploitation/crime film sounds of Isaac Hayes, Roy Budd, and Johnny Pate. It's a multi-genre affair that has earned praise from a wide variety of listeners.

With his fifth full-length release in just under three years, The Man From RavCon invites you to take a trip. No need to leave home – just slip on the headphones, dim the lights, sit back and let the journey begin.

The eleven instrumentals that make up The Traveler showcase The Man From RavCon’s atmospheric blend of Surf, Spy, Psych-Prog and Spaghetti Western. They provide the perfect soundtrack for a timeless journey.

Of course, the best thing about a trip with The Man From RavCon is that you can relive the journey at any time. Just put The Traveler back in, and give it another spin.

This is the soundtrack to the greatest B-movie never made! This release explores the music of Spaghetti Western, Blaxploitation, and B-horror cinema from the 60's through the early 80's. Influences range from the Italian film composers Ennio Morricone, Luis Bacalov, and Fabio Frizzi, to the blaxploitation/crime film sounds of Isaac Hayes, Roy Budd, and Johnny Pate.

As one of the few remaining First Wave instrumental surf bands, The Mariners are introduced to the world of instrumental surf-rock with this collection of obscure covers and some snappy originals. Ride the famous Kamehameha Highway in Hawaii as you listen to Cruisin’ the Kam, or paddle to the ethereal strains of Wrong Planet, or mellow out with the jazzy lead guitar of Windy and Warm, or even surf for your life to the edgy Hell Hole. Who could have imagined a surf band from Tennessee! This CD reflects the variety of musical tastes of the band members with the hope that you enjoy them too.

Surf-revival guitarist Mark Brodie – previously of Mark Brodie & the Beaver Patrol – formed the Metalunas upon his return to Vancouver from Japan, where he had lived from 1996-97 fronting another surf combo called the Saboteurs.

"Swingin´ Planet" followed in 2000 on Wildebeeste Records. Their final album, "Instrumentals of Terror" was released in 2002. Members rotated in and out of the group until they disbanded in 2004.

Red Triangle is named for the most dangerous, shark-infested surfing spot on Earth, and the music reflects that; it'll take you by surprise. Mike Rosado of NESMA calls Mister Neutron the Slacktone of the East Coast.

NOR’EASTER is the perfect soundtrack to everything – and, yes, we mean EVERYthing – you'll do this summer.

A fun mix of power pop, mod, and surf with no shortage of hot guitar playing. 19 songs in all. This Cranford, N.J.-based trio fronted by brothers Damian and Tony Fanelli plays an interesting rootsy style that blends straight-ahead garage rock with roots and surf elements, with Damian's nimble and tasteful guitar playing deserving extra praise. They also wrap the whole package with a hefty dose of oddball and irreverent humor as evidenced in songs like "Atomic Supermen" and "Go, Stinky Monkey!" The record sprawls across 19 songs, and there are several songs here that are worthy of attention. – Andy Smith, Pop Culture Press.

Holy cow! This is a magnificent album, full of exceptional music. Great writing, huge drama, and wonderful arranging. The songs are picturesque, and it's all about spaghetti westerns. Imaginative and well developed, and very hard to put down. Phil Dirt – ReverbCentral.com

The Nematoads are back with a new CD – Spy Car Mechanic. The followup to the brilliant Five Guns West, Spy Car Mechanic features 13 top fuel raucous rock & roll, surf, and spy tunes.

“Spy Car Mechanic” is a relatively recent effort from Texas based hipsters “the Nematoads” and it’s a real winner. With a jet black muscle car on the CD cover, I was smiling before I popped this bad boy into my player. Its thundering intro entitled “Rex Dart: Eskimo Spy” had me imagining myself to be “Speed Racer” my whole way to work. The sound is a quirky fusion of sci-fi tinged cowpunk and traditional surfabilly. Sort of a Link Wray meets Dick Dale by way of the Cramps.

Eleven years, nearly 500 shows in Europe and the USA plus countless miles on the highway lie behind the Surf punks THE RAZORBLADES, who started in 2002 to kick the Californian Surf sound into the new millennium. On their new album "Snapshots From The Underground" the three piece from Wiesbaden, Germany cold shoulders the beach and goes into unknown territory: “We don’t see too many palm trees, beach bunnies and white beaches, when we’re on the road. It’s more an endless line of sweaty backstage rooms, beer soaked stages and sleepless nights, before we hit the road again in the van to get to the next gig. You can hear that in our new songs along with all the bands we met and listened to in the last years,” says guitarist and songwriter Rob Razorblade.

To spice things up even more, the German surf rockers include singing in several songs. “We just teamed up with some friends we met on the road. That turned out to be a lot of fun” explains Rob. Among them are Hasu Langhardt (The Peacocks), Jancee Warnick (Jancee Pornick Casino) and Inez Venuz (My Favourite Mixtape), who sing along with Rob himself on three tracks.

Reverb Galaxy is a Maryland-based surf instrumental band that preserves the history of surf music, while exploring its future. Formed in 2004 by guitarists Art Svrjcek and Joe Atkins, the band’s focus has always been on delivering passionate, well-crafted songs with enduring melodies. Sometimes playful, then suddenly powerful and commanding, the music reflects the ocean’s ever-changing nature. Jim Colby on bass and Jeremy Carlson on drums forge the pounding rhythmic beats so essential to the true surf sound.

Starting with the adrenaline-pumping “Invasion” right into the “Balkan Stomp”, Reverb Galaxy delivers the classic Dick Dale-esque tremolo picking and glissandos soaked with plenty of Fender reverb. Follow that with the beautifully arranged “10 Miles to Nags Head” and their tribute to the Shadows’ Hank Marvin, and you’ll hear how this band still honors the influences of the genre and its culture. All the classic surf styles are captured on this CD: spy, space, beach, and even a little country.

Just like Duke Kahanamoku, George Freeth, and other wave pioneers, Reverb Galaxy’s mission is to embrace the soul of the ocean and spread its Aloha spirit to the world.

Reissue of "At Home With Satan´s Pilgrims," the very first full length Pilgrims album originally released in 1994 on eMpTy Records. This album has been long out of print and is now available again on remastered LP and CD.

Even on their first album, the Pilgrims came out of the gate with some of their best loved original songs, such as "Surf Lyre," "¿Que Honda?," and "Petty 43." The cover songs they chose show their allegiances. Rather than going for the Dick Dale style that was about to reintroduce the world to surf music via "Pulp Fiction" (which was released into theaters not long after the release of "At Home With Satan´s Pilgrims"), the Pilgrims chose a more band-oriented style as they covered The Bel-Airs, Eddie & The Showmen, The Rondels/The Challengers, and, having three guitars, The Astronauts...natch!

On Translucent Gold Vinyl! The deepest roots of surf music in California go back to San Luis Obispo, not the Greater Los Angeles area, to bands that considered themselves rhythm & blues, not "surf." The Revels formed in that Central California town in ´57, and the Sentinals (1961) were the heir apparent, touring alongside the "Church Key" boys in the wake of that semi-national hit. The combination of "Latin´ia" and "Tor-Chula" as the Sentinals´ first single in 1962 was a heady move, as both sides could be classified as subtle. The flamenco triplets opening "Latin´ia" came right out of lead guitarist Tommy Nunes´ Portuguese heritage. "Tor-Chula" mixes the flowing balance of the Fireballs´ "Torquay" with the party atmosphere of the Champs´ "Tequila." Sundazed is proud to revive this 45 - as it ranks among the most profound 45s to have come out of the surf music era!

Tracks:
1. Tor-Chula
2. Latin'ia

From Australia. Space Party’s sound has been called future surf, an apt description because, although the inspiration derives from early '60s surf and instrumental rock music, Space Party play the music with a modern approach. The members of this band have played in many different bands, and this is reflected in the diversity of the tracks. This album covers many styles, from the garage rock influenced Space Party, to the metaloid stylings of Journey Through The Black Hole and The Creature, and the mellower, more traditional surf vibe of The Unknown Surfer and Beyond the Surf.

Speedball JR was formed in the summer of 2000 during Ghent´s (surfcity Belgium) famous surf explosion.

This is dramatic, complex, varied, well textured, and challenging. It uses surf tones but is miles from classic structures. Very progressive and imaginative.

The Strings Aflame are third-degree instrumental burns from the State of Mexico, Mexico. The name was taken as a tribute to an album by Juan Garcia Esquivel, Mexican composer, musician, and a big influence for the project, as well as the sounds of the ´50s and ´60s, mainly surf music.
