but what I found myself drawn to was the percussion. It is probably because I am an old
drummer, but I have to say I really like the sound his drummer was getting. Those drums in
combination with the guitar absolutely brought to mind crashing waves.
Track 2 - Tsunami of Sound - Boogie Board Walk
Without a doubt, this band has a killer
name! Any band that describes their music as
“Huge surf-inspired instrumentals that will
make your head shake and your feet move.”
gets my attention. After listening to the track
the band still had my attention. I particularly
liked the lead that came roughly halfway
through the song. This band has a raw
freshness that I would describe as Surf Punk –
the music is good and the band is tight
enough, but they have a bit of a garage vibe
going on that I dig.

Track 3 - Susan SurfTone - Green Light
I know Susan’s music from Bongo
Boy’s Out of the Garage Volume 2
album. I really liked her work on that
LP, so it was with a Grouchy smile that
I listened to this track. Man, this
woman can play! I challenge anyone to
tell me that women can’t rock. All you
have to do is listen to Ms. Surftone to
realize women absolutely can
rock! Hands down, this is one of the
best tracks on the album. I love that
massive rockabillyesque jam. Listen to
this song! What would a show with
both Susan SurfTone and the Gore
Gore Girls be like? I can only dream.
