Surfquake are a recently formed, surf-guitar band, aiming to deliver the kind of driving, rock ‘n’ roll rhythms, made famous by the likes of Dick Dale, The Ventures, The Chandelles, The Trashmen & many others, whilst adding a little extra raunch of their own to the proceedings.
Hailing from Colchester (admittedly, a town not known for it’s “gnarly waves”), this dynamic trio not only keep the surf-guitar tradition alive but drag it kicking & screaming into the noughties with a modern approach that will leave you throwing S-turns & verticals in your living room before you can say, WIPE OUT!
Surfquake perform classics from the halcyon days of surf-guitar, as well as self penned tunes that sit neatly amongst them. Expect some early demo recordings here soon, to whet your appetite.
So wax up your boards, & ride the rockin’ & rollin’ waves with Surfquake.
