I was a big fan of Die Krabben's Welcome to Surf Trash Island released last year, even giving it a Gremmy honorable mention. Mining the Gyre has the same weirdo creepy surf-meets-Beefheart thing going on, with a few good instrumentals, a few essentially surf songs with a deep trollish voice grumbling out lyrics. It's kinda like if Reverend Beat-man had more of a surf angle.

On my radio show on Monday I got to spend a few minutes on the phone with Davie Allan of Davie Allan and the Arrows in advance of his first show ever in New Orleans this Sunday at Siberia.
We talked motorcycles or lack thereof, Mickey Mouse, and of course FUZZ GUITAR.
I've cut the interview out of the show so you can listen to it here
Make sure to tune in TODAY to hear an interview with Davie Allan!
messer chups - war party (the incredible croco-tiger)
burt rocket - fiberglass frenzy (fiberglass frenzy)
atomic 7 - funeral hotpants (en hillbilly caliente)
the whys - bye bye beach (sanjyo)
rondo hatton - switchblade (breaking the sound barrier)
After 8 years as a band without so much of an EP to their name, Luau or Die went ahead and made TWO EPs in 2015, almost entirely originals. It's fun, adventurous, and has a good helping of swagger to it. Give it a list, and while you're at it you can check out Vol. 1
Iowa's biggest surf act (probably by default, but by merit too) just dropped a nice live record. The sound is clean, better than plenty of studio albums I've heard. The songs seem to be all over the back catalog, a great place to start if this is your first introduction to the Surf Zombies.
The digital download is nice and cheap, but they've also got a CD that you can buy.
