Have you ever wondered why music today often sound so dull? It just seems to lack those fundamental ingredients that make up good music; an exciting sound, great songs and loads of fun.
Well, the Surfites are all those things, and more! Their sounds are wild and captivating, always exciting whether you're at home, on the beach or at a swingin' party!
The Surfites, a gang of landlocked gremmies playing trad instrumental surf music. Formed in 2004 by the two Fjellgren brothers of Swedish 90's surf band the Daytonas. Debut album "Big Pounder" released in 2007 by U.S. label Double Crown Records, followed by "Escapades in Space" in 2008.
Second album from this talented instro surf combo and well on par with their excellent debut Big Pounder. The space theme works great with loads of reverb and I would simply describe the songs as spaced-up surf music. Highly recommended for anyone into first wave era surf sounds.
Simple and energetic - the type of music that makes you tap your feet and nod along. You don't get exhausted by listening to this music - it gives energy to you.
This is it! The must have cd for surf instro fans. If you like traditional surf instrumentals, you're going to dig this cd. All songs written by the band (namely the Fjellgren bro's) and there's not a dud in the lot. There's loads of reverb, and that's a signature sound of a surf song. Reverb, reverb & more reverb. Did I mention the cool reverb soaked sounds? What a fabulous cd! Double Crown has again produced a great cd by a great band. Cute cover too.
Man, this is one wild surf album! The back cover states "16 swingin' tunes for the tuffest of gremmies" and this couldn't be more true. Very authentic vintage sounds and song structures as well as great song writing. Definitely one of the most boss surf instro CDs in a long time!
Every track features a big, bright, reverberated twang, every track is an original composition from guitarists Klas and Jack Fjellgren, and every track pays tribute to the best the genre has to offer (surf, hot-rod, spaghetti, etc.). Another winner from Double Crown! The sound samples will give you an excellent overview; if you like them, you'll love the CD.
This is easily one of the best surf cds since 1998. These guys have the drip and melody spot on. Not your normal Em drudge or riff oriented 90s rehash. This is just great. This is surf music.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
