From what I can tell this is the first release under the Surfaris name since 2005's Wipe Out (which seems to be a completely different version from the 60's version we all know). The lineup here includes original guitarist Bob Berryhill. Haven't been able to dig up information on any other members, but this doesn't include Jim Fuller.

A few months ago the folks at surfguitar101 were celebrating 15 years since the release of The Space Cossacks' Tsar Wars. It's an excellent album, an important surf album, but to me I just can't think of The Space Cossacks without my mind drifting on to guitarist Ivan Pongracic's later work, The Madeira's first album Sandstorm. Maybe it's because it came out back when I was really trying to dig in to surf, getting ready to do this radio show all those years ago.
Double Crown had been teasing a mystery EP in a few of their newsletters and I confess I had no clue. It turns out it was a new outfit with Sean Berry, Mr. Double Crown himself, in the lineup! He's joined by Jonny Browning of Jonny and the Shamen/MOAM and Hollis Pilling. It's a modest collection of songs, not terribly loud or aggressive, more quirky and creepy, but the MOAM lineage definitely comes through. Three of the tracks are originals, but I actually really like their take on the Ventures' VampCamp where they've sped it up to a less creepy tempo. Sounds like a new song!
