A while ago Satan's Pilgrims held a kickstarter to fund a trip to Europe and their compilation of singles, live cuts, and unreleased tracks titled "Frankenstomp". That album has found its way into a number of hands since the kickstarter, but for those of us that didn't go that route, we can now buy it too! I've heard great things about it, which is unsurprising because everything they've done has been quality.

Every Trabants release has stuck out to me so far, and this is no exception. Or rather, this is also exceptional. You know what I mean. I'm not sure if I can pinpoint exactly what it is, they just seem to be one of those bands where everything lands in the right place. The drums aren't necessarily showy, but keep things moving in the right way, and really know how to add some punch when they need to. They've always got a good helping of variety and fresh ideas on every album, and the tunes stick with you.
the tarantinos NYC - shindig (surfin' the silver screen)
the krontjong devils - biscaya (ghost wave) (on tour!!!)
The Satin Chaps - hard drivin' (stompin' b/w hard drivin)
hypnotide - the ocean gets its saltiness from the tears of Misunderstood Sharks (who just want to cuddle) (landlocked)
al casey - surfin' blues - 45
the busters - all american surfer - 45
the majestics - boss walk pt 1 - 45
the rockin r's - nameless - 45
les jaguars - jaguar shake (les jaguars vol 2)
jack eubanks - action - 45
the jaguars - exit 6 (las vegas grind part two)
Early this morning my car was parked in North Carolina, where I drank many interesting sodas and hiked some beautiful mountains for a weekend. After a long day driving back here, I found that North Carolinans the Monterreys had made their new album available to those of us that didn't get to catch them at the Instro Summit. One of these years.
Since we're way out of season, I feel no shame in admitting that on the whole I hate Christmas music. But boy howdy is there a lot of it in surf, and if it is your sorta thing then I know you all have at least one album in your collection. It's Christmas on the Big Island by the Blue Hawaiians. And they wana do another one.
