The Wrecks House appears to be the brainchild of Leon Daniel, who played for the Monterreys. This is definitely a departure from that sound: much spookier, slower, and mysterious-er with a whole lot of spy sound.

Luau or Die have been a part of the Toronto surf scene for a good while now (there's videos going back to 2009 on Youtube) but for us way far away from Toronto, we can dig this EP. "Dead on the Floor Vol. 1" is comprised of four originals and a cover of "Llorando Se Fue" (I had to look up the original) with quickly picked guitar and tight playing. It's a live album, but very clean and honestly better sounding than an awful lot of surf rock studio recordings.
Recently I talked about how excited I was to hear a new EP from Travelers of Tyme. What I didn't realize at the time (tyme?) was that that was just a prelude to a brand new LP. True to their form, Chronomads is eclectic, mysterious and strange, with all sorts of instrumentation and sounds unique to each song.
the bambi molesters - Wrong Turn (as the dark wave swells)
watang! - siam cat (miss wong)
les vice barons - the model (the model ep)
tsunamish - tsunamish vs los fantasmas (tsunamish vs los fantasmas)
Always great to see a surf band with a hefty brass section! Los Coyotes are about equal parts 3rd-wave ska and surf, a combination you don't hear very often. And I think it's working! This is a fun EP, though only 3 songs. Looking forward to hear where a combo like this goes next.
