Here's a few of the 25 Compilations and Tributes we have appeared on: Double Crown Records 2007
Formed in 1993, 3 Studio CDs, 2 Live CDs, appearances on 20 tributes and compilation CDs, a European tour and a Japan tour. All instrumental, lots of odd influences, but still based in the surf sound.
Here is what some nice people had to say about our CD "The Golden State": Guitar Player: "Pollo Del Mar craft lilting, cinematic vistas, without ever losing sight of surf's classic melodic sensibilities. Very well done." Discoveries: "One of the best releases of 2004" 20th Century Guitar: "One of the hottest instrumental rock bands on the scene today" Garage and Beat: "Pollo Del Mar should be part of your life's soundtrack" Rock N Roll Purgatory: "almost a spiritual quality, like a transcendent exploration of the abyss" - Reverb Central: "Well, it doesn't get much better than this! ...simply stunning! Cozmik Debris: "Their sound is deep and vast, with an element of mystery compelling to anyone who has ever found themselves staring out to sea and sensing its power" - Vintage Guitar: "Let's just say that things never get boring." Continental: "Without a doubt the best Pollo Del Mar release to date, showing off their impeccable playing, songwriting and recording skills" - Pipeline: "A bunch of clever bastards really"
