Hailing from Ontario, Supertoke have a sorta fun, off-kilter Shadowy Men vibe. That's about all I got on these guys!

If you take a look at the "More Surf Radio" corner of the front page, you'll see the Reverb Hour put on by Cousin Mary. She does a much better job than I do about giving something cool to her station's supporters. Combo Swell is a huge compilation of (excellent) surf groups recorded on KFJC or at KFJC events between 1996 and 2014.
For a while this one was only available in person or in Spanish record stores, but it looks like there's now a few more options. They don't drop their excellent surf twang, but they head out for that lonely, desolate western tone and pace. More quality stuff from a quality group.
Surf is usually a very analog type of music, but Mexico's Los Jinetes Del Terror chose to ignore that. The entire record has an electric buzz (and fuzz) to it. They're not afraid to put their keyboards, drum machine or any digital effects front and center. But make no mistake, the guitars are loud, fuzzy and frantic as hell, and the end result is nicely balanced I think. It might need a bit for surf fans to adjust to, but sometimes those are the best records in the end.
los plantronics - Navajo (shortnin bread 7")
hipbone slim and the knee tremblers - Swagger (hipbone stlim vs sir bald)
