The Charades "Wild Cards" 2008

Another surf band from Finland, are The Charades who also came to Mexico last year and took advantage of the visit to bring a few copies of their latest album Wild Cards......In the album they cover several covers and themes of films with their own themes. The covers included the main theme of "Star Wars", "Charade" by Henry Mancini, "All Time High" from the film Octopussy, the theme of the Magnificent 7 and the Japanese "Lupine The 3rd".

And of the own subjects the most outstanding for me are "Shanti Baba" they are a very oriental sound and "Green Grass" with a pretty nice and pretty melody.

What dominates the Charades is an instrumental surf with a lot of influence from the Shadows and The Ventures. Even for the theme of the Magnificent 7 had luxury guests, on the guitars invited Bob Bugle (q.e.p.d.) and Don Wilson de los Ventures. Not any band can afford such luxuries, can it? That's why The Charades are special, they did a great job here and live not to mention, the best surf bands I've seen. - http://musicainclasificable.blogspot.com/
