Phil Dirt - Reverb Central - PO Box 1609, Felton, CA 95018-1609 USA The Defiants - Surfer's Twist c/w Twistin' n' Stompin'
 | This is only surf in the sense of its titles, not all that far away from the early Mar-Kets' tracks. It's either a virtual copy, or its a session outtake. Either way, this is unoriginal and uninspired, thought the piano is pretty darn cool. |

Instrumentals 1960's (Instrumental)
A stomping beat and piano right out of The Mar-Kets' sessions connects this peripherally to surf music. It's not at all melodic, more like a jam. If not for the very cool piano riff, "Surfer's Twist" would disappear from ram upon completion.
Instrumentals 1960's (Instrumental)
Even less interesting than its b-side, "Twistin' n' Stompin'" is softer and less engaging. Again, only the piano and walking bass line makes it work at all.
