The list of who we're NOT influenced by is WAY, WAY shorter!!!
Sounds Like
Los Straitjackets, The Black Widows, Slacktone, Pollo Del Mar, Agent Orange, Powerflex 5, The Lava Rats, Secret Samurai, Chingon, Your Mom, and a host of other bands you've never heard of.
CHUM is not your dad's surf music. No pretty harmonies, no old ladies from The Valley, no matching suits/hawaiian shirts... Guitar, bass, drums, reverb, a bit of distortion, some attitude, and a suitcase full of bad jokes. CHUM is about a good time fueled by pints of the good stuff (insert your favorite beer here, or use Guinness as a reliable default.)
CHUM hails from L.A.s South Bay. Yeah, the same area that brought you Dewey Weber, The Belairs, The Beach Boys, Black Flag, and Pennywise.
Surf Music by surfers, for surfers... For those who know what a mouth full of salt water tastes like, the smell of a wetsuit that's been in your trunk a bit too long, and a crotch full of sand.
