 | Five tracks here, one an instro. The vocals are quite fun and beach worthy. They are a tongue in cheek parody of the surf pop sound. It's all very fun, and it won't allow your attitude hat to be too tight on your head. These guys must be fun live. It's a little like a flippant version of The Surfin' Lungs - bigger grins. |

Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
"Jimmy's Hawaiian Sword" starts out with waves lapping the shore while a dissonant guitar warns of danger ahead. The song employs a cycling riff, and is punctuated by occasional screams. The energy is high, the variations small, and the tone loud and intense. More frat than surf, but a short board rock crasher nonetheless. A classy glissando connects to the genre.
