Italy meets Brazil! Surfer Joe and The Dead Rocks were touring Brazil together and recorded this impromptu session while doing an interview. Now we get to hear it! 2 tracks of trad surf, one laid back and one bouncy and fun.
They've got a video that explains it in a much more enjoyable way than I can do.
Lots of new stuff this week! I'm talkin' Tremolo Beer Gut, Insanitizers, Susan Surftone, Martin Cilia, Surfer Joe & Dead Rocks, Said the Ripper, Robotron and more! Damn!
By the way, check out how I cut out the middleman so you can stream from right on this page. Why didn't I do that before?!
Playlist from 7/25/16
The latest from Australia's surf guitar maestro. You've got 5 tracks on this one, four originals and of course the cover of the classic Sleepwalk. As can be expected from Cilia, production is slick as all get-out with reverbed electric guitar floating on for miles on Sleepwalk. I've only heard the snippets below of the originals, but it looks like they've got a solid breadth and some fresh ideas.
Though I really do try to stay on top of all major surf releases as they come out, there are plenty that slip by my notice and some I plum forget to talk about. So I'll do them all at once because that's somehow less daunting to me than doing them individually. If I'm missing anything let me know, I'm definitely going to reference this when I build my list of surf releases from 2016.
