Split: Insect Surfers vs. The Sourcedotdotdot
artworkThis 1983 flexi-disc came with an issue of Trouser Press. It coupled the Washington D. C. version of the Insect Surfers and their fine eighties pop surf vocal "Barricade Beach" with a track from the Source. Normally I don't review vocals, but this is a fine track from a fine band.

Track by Track Review


The Insect Surfers - Barricade Beach dotdotdotdot
Surf (Vocal)

Infectious backtrack work, sixties keyboard riffs, catchy cool rhythms, occasional guitar glissandos, and deluxe lyrics combine to create a surf vocal of must-have proportions. This fine track was also issued on a flexidisc with Trouser Press or some such mag.
