 | This 4 song EP is a Johnny and The Hurricanes tribute/knockoff, right down to the parody cover art. They mess around with their sound to accommodate the Johnny and the Hurricanes organ and sax dominated groove, but don't really pull it off. |
Picks: Crossfire, Rockin' Goose, Beatnik Fly, Red River Rock
Track by Track Review
Crossfire Surf (Instrumental)
Johnny and the Hurricanes' rockin' "Crossfire" with a really lame organ lead. Argh!
Rockin' Goose Surf (Instrumental)
Johnny and the Hurricanes' "Rockin' Goose" done WAY poorly. It's got spunk, but hardly a lick of coolness. Just cheesy frat rockin' noise.
Beatnik Fly Surf (Instrumental)
A not very interesting version of Johnny and the Hurricanes' "Beatnik Fly." Ho-hum.
Red River Rock Surf (Instrumental)
This is one cruddy version of Johnny and the Hurricanes' "Red River Rock." Never mind.
