Welcome to Brave New Surf, a showcase for the amazing new sounds of surf music. Here is undeniable evidence that the surf genre is not only still alive but thriving.  The past four years have been extraordinarily fruitful in both the number and the quality of new releases. The best of these new tracks – many compiled for you here – can stand toe to toe with the very best of the 1960s.
The songs on this CD testify to a love affair between the musicians and their music. Surf musicians …

Threesome is a new Serbian combo that delivers the sound of explosive surf punk that doesn’t care much about time or place. The three members of the band have been involved with the indie music scene for several years.
What started as just listening to bands such as Ventures, Dick Dale & The DelTones, Slacktone, Man or Astroman?, and watching The Bambi Molesters performing live, ended up with forming a band that gives its vision of what surf rock should sound today.
“Adriatica” is their debut full-length CD release, packed with 12 …

The Surfites have a brand new 7″ out now, featuring two brand new recordings. This is the third release in our jukebox singles series, and this one might just be the best yet. The A-side is a snappy toe-tapper called “Here She Comes Again”, while the flip comes just in time for summer – “Theme For Surfers”. “Here She Comes Again” is the band’s first vocal tune – but it’s not the Surfites singing (although the guys did sing in their previous band, The Daytonas). It’s The RPM’s (featuring Baron …

The TomorrowMen are ready to hit the surf/instro rock scene with their debut CD release, “It’s About Time!”. Led by guitarist Mycroft Eloi (aka Danny Snyder – Meshugga Beach Party and Frankie & The Poolboys), the TomorrowMen will blow you away with their unique blend of traditional and modern surf rock, adding a slight Man Or Astro-man influenced sci-fi sound to several of their tunes. The songs are powerful, melodic and sure to stick in your head for years to come.
What makes the The TomorrowMen stand apart from the majority …

Issue #18 includes huge feature interviews with The Bambi Molesters and Davie Allan, and a look at last fall’s Shake The Shack Rockabilly Ball (Surf Night), plus tons of music and DVD reviews. There is also a 24 track CD filled with lots of great surf, instro and garage rock tunes. We had too much to cram into the magazine, so we’ve added pages! 40 pages in all, with a 2 color glossy cover.
Note: We have increased the price of the magazine by a buck, to $6.95/copy. We haven’t raised …

We’ve got another 7″ release available, this time from So. Cal. surf and frat rock combo The Volcanics! You loved their Girls Girls Girls CD, but the band’s been relatively quiet over the last couple of years. Well, they’re back in a big way with this two track slab of wax! On the A-side you get the vocal “654321 (Let’s Have Some Fun)”, while on the flip they deliver a great instro called “Kanack Attack”. And, if you thought two 7″ers in the last 6 months was cool, we’ve got another 7″ …

Whether you like to Twist, Shake, Shimmy, Shout or Slop, the Beechwoods have got the beat for you. These four fine young men from Burbank, California were already favorites at the Sigma Pi fraternity house when they were still in high school. The girls can’t get enough of the Beechwood sound with that frantic beat that’s been known to whip hips from study hall to the dance hall. With Party Time Discotheque, their first full-length CD, the Beechwoods …

It wasn’t the original plan – who would have thought the world needed 3 volumes of Christmas and holiday music done surf style? Well, they have been among our most popular releases, so who are we to say no? This volume has songs from all over the world, including The Surfites (Sweden), The Mobsmen (Norway), Burt Rocket (Iceland/Norway), The Razorblades (Germany), The Urban Surf Kings (Canada), and of course, the United States. While mostly surf/instro, there are a few songs that veer into frat rock, swing and exotica, to mix …
