The Turbosonics release Tres Gatos Suave

The Turbosonics have been around for a while now and have a number of live recordings up on their bandcamp, but I believe this is their second full LP.

The Apaches release Musica Surfica EP

Based on their facebook presence, Arizona's The Apaches haven't been around for too long, but they've got one EP to show for it. This EP has 4 originals, pretty straight-ahead surf perhaps with a bit of a lonely desert vibe.

Oskar Benas - Los Herejes Instro Combo release OBYLHIC

Oskar Benas y Los Herejes Instro Combo release OBYLHIC

I still wasn't done enjoying Oskar Benas' solo release from this year Hereje Del Mar (which apparently I never made a post about) but we've already got this release from his full combo. While surf typically puts you on the seashore, Oskar's music points me towards the jungle as its getting dark.

Bombón releases A Date with Bombón EP

You gotta be careful looking for surf rock on Burger Records. They're home to an awful lot of the bands that are muddying up the term. You know, garage bands with a lot of reverb on the vocals, stuff derived from Wavves, Black Lips etc. And right from the first track one might think that's the case here, with summery girl-group-garage sing-a-long vocals, but I urge you to stay! The next track is "Swedish Fish", a rippin' surf instro with punchy, splashy percussion free of pretention and all about fun.
