The Star And Key Of The Indian Ocean "Rock 'n' Roll Fiasco" 2003

A sound borne of the deep throated rumble of the surf, with all the tribal energy and melody implied. Power, pleasure, and invention conspire with spies and bronze riders of the curl to create a fresh approach to the genre. - cdbabyFranco-surfband The Star And Key Of The Indian Ocean are four guys in their mid-twenties, though not all are French as guitarist Davy Boy hails from that well-known American surfin' hotspot: Tennessee. Formed at the Nantes art school, this union of musicians with backgrounds in rock, pop, electronic and hard core music deliver '60s surf with 21st century dynamics. Their twin guitar arrangements incorporate all our favourite surf trademarks with damped picking, tremolo chords and plenty of drive. Their first album showed great promise and their second delivers, big time. It's become a summer fave here at Pipeline Towers and is sure to impress worldwide. - Alan Taylor Pipeline magazine (UK)trax:
