Most of what I post are announcements about new surf music. They're often mistaken for reviews, and often I may insert a little opinion, but they're only meant to let you know that it exists. But every once in a while I do want you to know how I feel about a record. I don't necessarily think I'm good at it, but here goes anyway, thoughts on three records I've been listening to recently.
els a-phonics - el torcal (els a-phonics & friends)
the vara-tones - reverberator (headin' out)
WJLP - chinchilla con queso (Hard Boiled)
the nomads - I'm Branded (7")
Dick Dale & his del-tones - the wedge (checkered flag)
the devrons - brand x (45)
frankie stein & his ghouls - wrist twist (ghoul music)
the scramblers - the pits (cycle psychos)
the challengers - foot patter (surfing with the challengers)
the sentinals - latin soul (45)
neil hefti - senorita boo bam (hefti in gotham city)
the camelots - the scratch (45)
