 | Lo fi grind from a band with ample oomph, and a flair for noisy carport delivery. Nearly boombox quality. I have to say that more of these tracks would be picks if they were better recorded. (They spelled their name, not me). |

Garage Surf (Instrumental)
The progression based tune has a charm and rhythmic attraction, as well as a surf crash sensibility.
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Dramatic, edgy, and desperately seeking a microphone, this would be well served if better recorded. Grindy, thrashing drums, and a Link Wray in the garage sensibility.
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
The Dickster's post "Surf Beat" grinder, with a clear target on the block party. A ton of edge, a sneak assault, and a surf crasher.
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Having fun with Henry Mancini's film theme, more surfy than Davie Allan's versions, but sloppily delivered. Can you say "party?"
Garage Surf (Instrumental)
Well, it's truly plodding, accented with reverby guitar lines, and based on a riffola.
