The Counterfeit is a 12-piece Spaghetti Western band out of Melbourne, Australia. While they frequently play different arrangements than the original film scores, their "counterfeit" versions are extremely convincingly mimicing the orignial Spaghetti Western composers, and their off-the-beaten-path song choices had me itching to learn more. So I had a virtual sit-down with Harley Stewart, guitarist and music director for the group, and learned about their detailed plan to bring a mostly forgotten musical genre back to life.

This blog has a pretty strict instrumental focus, so I'm bending the rules a bit to review the new Untamed Youth, as it only has four instrumentals. But they're such a legendary group that is essential to the story of surf revival, and it would be a shame to leave it off.
OK that's not really why. I want to focus on these instrumentals, as they're pretty excellent.
Alright, that's not really it either. I mostly just want to write about one song.
