The Aloha Sluts have a brand new 7" out on Tombstone Records Holland. It's got 4 songs on it and features some great-as-usual artwork from Shawn Dickinson. The only thing I've heard from it is from the preview below, but the rest of their material to date has been punchy and fun -- surfy enough for trad fans, but pretty loud too.
Per Mutations has eight members listed. I'm not sure if that's all at once but their sound is diverse enough that I might think so. Surfing in the Phenomenal World has moments of reverby surfy-ness, but less than they suggest, with flashes of shoegaze, spaghetti western, maybe even some Tom Waits... all the while sounding pretty fun and cohesive. Reminds me a bit of The Tomorrowmen's Futourism in its non-pretentious adventurousness. A pleasant surprise and over way too soon.

Duane Eddy is trying to raise some cash to make a follow-up to 2011's Road Trip. He's using a service called PledgeMusic, which I haven't used before -- doesn't seem to say what the total amount is but he's 68% there as of writing.
I actually never got around to hearing Road Trip and I'm going to go ahead and say it: this is a bit on the expensive side. Digital download comes in at $12, vinyl is $55. Yow!
