Long Boards "Big Surf" 2006

The Longboards play really dark and heavy surf, and they play it fast and loud. What a great release! The track titles are a guess past Big Surf because the CD names from the net aren't quite the same as the sleeve listing, and the way the sleeve listing works, there is either a missing track, or you have to guess at the two word title from separate entries. Not that it matters to your ears. This is a pummeling workout! - Phil DirtThe Long Boards deliver a feast of solid surf instrumentals, recorded on vintage equipment to recreate the atmosphere of the original Surf era. Power-packed delivery has drawn comparisons with Los Straitjackets, Dick Dale and even Link Wray, and there's plenty of original material here showing that the Longboards are no pale imitations of what has gone before. There's enough originality here to create something new and fresh, whilst drawing inspiration from th Surf Guitar greats.
