Please give me a scare for this year's HOLLEREEN SHOW!

What's scarier than a show full of eery surf tracks? YOU ARE! I need your help to make this the most terrifying Storm Surge of Reverb HOLLEREEN SHOW yet. That means accumulating your SCREAMS, BEAST MOANS, DEATH THREATS, and other SPOOKY NOISES to be played back during the show. THIS YEAR that show is Monday, October 26th, so I'd like your calls by October 25th. Not the closest to Halloween ever, which means we gotta let EVEN MORE EVIL IN

The Surfaders - A Greater Silence

I love it when a new release slides into my hands during my radio show. Without more than 3 seconds of screening beforehand, I hit play on "North Bank of Lost River", which starts with an envigorating swell... then loud prominent vocals. It's an instrumental radio show, so I jumped a bit, but I was actually pretty durn excited about the instrumental underneath. When I got a change to listen to the entire thing, I found that the majority of the tracks were still instrumental, and a great improvement over the already quite enjoyable "Dragstrip Murder Mystery".

Birth of Surf Volume 3

Ace Records continues their "Birth of Surf" series with a brand new Volume 3, curated by Alan Taylor and Dave Burke of . Like the others, it's a total mix of basic-level surf songs to nearly unheard-of rarities. I'm pleased to see Johnny and the Hurricanes' "Sheba" on there - pretty common if you're digging for 45s, rarely finds its way to compilations, and it's easily my favorite song of theirs.

Beach Breakers - En vivo ATMC Fest VI

A live album from the band that I can't help but think of as "". Great trad sound, really sunny and fun and well-played, with a few sound clips thrown on in-between songs. It definitely does sound live, but that really only becomes a factor on the few vocal songs, where the vocals dwarf the instrumental mix. Otherwise, there's a great energy and bounce to it throughout.
