Aaron and the Burrs have been quiet for a little bit... missing out on some synergy opportunities with the broadway hit Hamilton! Eh, probably not.

Not an awful lot of new stuff this week: some Urban Surf Kings, Kaygles, a neat 45 I picked up. Should be fun though, nice bright stuff - good tunes!
Here's last week's
6/20/16
the tormentos - differentes maneras (death drop!)
les agamemnonz - el tremblador (au revoir)
the krontjong devils - the rebel (without cause) (action!)
rat holic - mr. hiro (wipe out with)
the baltic side - rainbow (hope)
the tikinauts - midnight in cebu (the tikinauts)
Alright y'all! For those nitpickers out there, today is summer solstice, so if you were waiting for an excuse to enjoy surf rock you have it. New stuff from the Kaygles, a lot of out-there stuff today. You'll like it!
Here's last week's: 6/13/2016
satan's pilgrims - my woodie (frankenstomp)
the space cossacks - red sunrise (interstellar stomp)
los venturas - pradesh hypno beat (miles high)
davie allan & the arrows - fender bender (the arrow dynamic sounds of)
brazil 2001 - bikini summer (fist full of sand)
This is the last entry of the month of Green Cookie Records. Within a few weeks, they've released Los Venturas, The El Caminos, The Aqua Barons and on their subsidiary label Surf Cookie they released Bamboogie Injections and a repackaged Surfoniani record. I'm guessing this is all leading up to Italy's Surfer Joe festival happening this weekend.
I've wanted to look into the El Caminos past their excellent Del-Fi Release Reverb Explosion, but their other releases aren't terribly cheap for an American to find. So here we have a compilation of unreleased tunes from before that record. Some of them are familiar: alternate takes that found their way onto other El Caminos records, some are covers. It's good trad surf, though nothing that quite jumps at me like Reverb Explosion did. It's great to have more material, even if it's old, from a great Japanese surf group.
