About Me |
|
| Have you ever wondered why music today often sound so dull? It just seems to lack those fundamental ingredients that make up good music; an exciting sound, great songs and loads of fun.
Well, the Surfites are all those things, and more! Their sounds are wild and captivating, always exciting whether you're at home, on the beach or at a swingin' party! The Surfites, a gang of landlocked gremmies playing trad instrumental surf music. Formed in 2004 by the two Fjellgren brothers of Swedish 90's surf band the Daytonas. Debut album "Big Pounder" released in 2007 by U.S. label Double Crown Records . New album in the works, coming summer 2008! Big Pounder means Big Pounding Surf Instro (by R. Davey) This is it! The must have cd for surf instro fans. If you like traditional surf instrumentals, you're going to dig this cd. All songs written by the band (namely the Fjellgren bro's) and there's not a dud in the lot. There's loads of reverb, and that's a signature sound of a surf song. Reverb, reverb & more reverb. Did I mention the cool reverb soaked sounds? What a fabulous cd! Double Crown has again produced a great cd by a great band. Cute cover too. Not for squares (by Rat Fink IV) Man, this is one wild surf album! The back cover states "16 swingin' tunes for the tuffest of gremmies" and this couldn't be more true. Very authentic vintage sounds and song structures as well as great song writing. Definitely one of the most boss surf instro CDs in a long time! Big bright twang! (by Neal) Every track features a big, bright, reverberated twang, every track is an original composition from guitarists Klas and Jack Fjellgren, and every track pays tribute to the best the genre has to offer (surf, hot-rod, spaghetti, etc.). Another winner from Double Crown! The sound samples will give you an excellent overview; if you like them, you'll love the CD. Surfites the future of yesterdays sound:: Today (by M. Overberg) This is easily one of the best surf cds since 1998. These guys have the drip and melody spot on. Not your normal Em drudge or riff oriented 90s rehash. This is just great. This is surf music. THE SURFITES on |
