I dunno if anyone's interested, but surf rock is one of my favorite genres of music so hey. The link above has hundreds of bands listed, more than I've ever seen, if anyone's interested in checking out lots of surf. Seriously, look at all those fucking bands!

Never heard. Will check em out right now.

My current favorites are the Mermen, Space Cossacks, Surf Coasters, and the Bambi Molesters.

They are the only really semi-obscure surf that I've listened to a lot. They take the sci-fi thing a little too far, I guess, for my taste.

The Amino Acids are okay, but really...just okay. I was kinda hoping they'd go a bit further than they do with their concept actually.
Thanks for the list dude...I've been needing some fresh surf.

I'm sure you know them already, but if you don't, check out everything MAN OR ASTROMAN has done. They're my favorite surf band.

I do love stuff like Jan and Dean, the Surfaris and some of the early Beach Boys stuff, but a lot of the more contemporary stuff just leaves me cold. I have a similar view of it to the one I have about ska-punk. Two genres that are fine in themselves, but don't seem to work at all when combined.

It figures one of my favorite surf bands is not highlighted for a link, but they are mentioned.....!



 




 



So I'll provide a link....

http://www.bar-none.com/bios/raybio.html

It's no wonder Guitar Player magazine called the Raybeats' GUITAR BEAT "one of the ten best instrumental albums of all time." A supercombo with members of the B-52's (Pat Irwin), the Golden Palominos (Jody Harris), and Los Straitjackets (Danny Amis), the Raybeats formed out of the ashes of legendary New York no-wavers the Contortions. During the early 80's they were one of the most popular touring bands on the underground rock scene. Their music blended the best of instrumental pop music: surf rock, lounge and Stax/Volt soul together with the experimental no-wave sound of downtown NYC. Bar/None is proud to release GUITAR BEAT for the first time on Compact Disc, complete with extra tracks, rare vintage photos, new liner notes, memorabilia and more!

i dont know if this is surf music per say, but does anyone know what artist made that music thats in the background of pulp fiction after john travolta spikes up and is driving down the highway of whatever. for some reason, the riffs in that song always sounded very surfy to me? even if theyre not theyre reall rad.

batreleaser, wasn't it the lively ones? Dick Dale does "Miserlou" of course, but I thought the Lively Ones were also on that soundtrack.

I don't have much surf rock except for a Trashmen LP I picked up last year. It seems like a rather limited genre to me.
