The Sir Finks "Instrumentals In The Key Of...Boss!!!" 2000

The kickoff track, "Weird Beard," sounds innocuous enough, a Fender guitar spitting underwater reverb melodies, until a buzz-fuzz guitar invades like an oversize cicada and sets the tone for the Finks' approach to surf music. - Jerry RenshawThe Sir Finks are an Austin, TX-based surf revival trio, comprised of members Mike Guerrero on guitar, Damien Llanes on drums, and Jason Gentry on bass and sax. Formed in the mid-'90s, the Sir Finks have issued a few full-length recordings for the independent surf-based Wildebeest Records label, Devil's Agent and Instrumentals in the Key of Boss, as well as contributing the odd track to compilations, including a tribute to Memphis soul instrumentals titled Chinese Checkers, surf re-workings of songs originally played by Herb Alpert the Tijuana Brass, Surfin' Senorita, plus a four-song collaboration with Italy's I Cosmonauti, titled Guitars Don't Argue. - Greg Prato, All Music Guidetrax:
