Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
A scream opens the song, which features a very dirty fuzz bass. "Jungle Call" is a version of Stan Worth and Sheldon Allman's theme to the cartoon series George Of The Jungle. All fun, not serious bones.
Rockabilly (Instrumental)
1963's "Indian Giver" is a primitive surf instro with a fine melody and significant chunk. While obviously a very young band, the drums are cool and the guitars chunky. Very nice.
