Track by Track Review
Surf (Instrumental)
Surf 'n' chop, riffin' surf jam, extra reverb garage trash. very cool, lots of fun, and almost melodic high energy wet... get the picture?
Surf (Instrumental)
This is a garagie and driven version of the Rumblers' "Made In Japan" with less charm and more edge.
Surf (Instrumental)
Intense surf chord whammy, speedy, riffy, and powerful. The energy here is the thing, carried by the exuberant playing. very nice, with nods to Link Wray and Dick Dale.
Surf (Instrumental)
Twangy whammy infectious fast and fluffy. The riff is happy and the delivery joyous. The guitar speed-picking reminds me of a couple of the Titans' singles. Cool track.
