THE AQUAMARINES – OFF THE RADAR CD
Aqua1
It's the long awaited full CD from San Francisco's Aquamarines! Guitarist & composer Lt. Col. (Ace) Russell Volckmann met Capt. Rick Escobar (aka El Reverbo Capitan of the Woodies) in late 2005, and together performed live in an all-star musical lineup with keyboardist/ bassist MSgt. Farhan “Mr. Chicken” Mohamed, of famed Bollywood band VDaze. Together with veteran surf bassist Gunnery Sgt. “Big Wave” Dave Becker, the four mercenary marvels later set course on what would be a four-year operation to create a spectacular musical experience.
The quest drew inspiration from legendary 20th century composers/ artists of the 1930s to the 1980s … spanning such genres as Rock, Lounge, Exotica, Jazz, Pop, Surf, Big Band, Swing, Country, Spaghetti Western, Classical, Film Scores, Psychedelia, Middle Eastern, Latin, Hawaiian, and Japanese.
The ‘marines enlisted a few great veteran musical conscripts (below) from around the globe (sometimes begging, crying & screaming) to fulfill their noble mission for you… Enjoy the flight.
Oh yeah, drummer extraordinaire Dusty Watson pounds the skins on this fabulous CD...

Rock-Ola contains twelve more "diamonds", with a smooth, deep Euro-instro sound not too removed from The Shadows, but dense with mystery and intrigue.

THE CONCUSSIONS – MAGIC FINGERS CD
Double Crown Records
The new CD by Michigan surf combo The Concussions! Twelve great new tunes, eleven originals plus a cover of the Beatles tune And I Love Her. It's all wrapped up in a digipak CD case and was produced and mixed by the band and Pete Curry of Los Straitjackets.
Pure and filthy at the same time. Twelve short instrumental cuts on Magic Fingers overflow with a Joe Meek-style gamut of emotions from Tarantino pathos to Lone Ranger justice; charming neon-lit bubblegum diner to shadowy swamp creature molestation! Pete Bruinsma, WYCE Music Director
Magic Fingers maybe the most vinyl-sounding CD yet. The Concussions' surf-guitar mastery gets enhanced by guitarist/vintage studio owner Dick Chiclet's "let's-make-this-sound-like-a-needle-on-a-groove-in-the-early-60s" vibe. It's impossible to pack more retro rock fun into a single instrumental CD, whether it's an original like "Stiletto" or a cover of The Beatles "And I Love Her." John Sinkevics, Grand Rapids Press

THE DEMANDS – HIGH WIRE CD
Deep Eddy Records
The Demands are back with a brilliant followup to 2005's excellent Play for You. The Demands new CD HIGH WIRE is sexy as hell. This three-piece sounds like a much bigger band -- Jahna Rain's sultry vocals have been compared to Chrissy Hynde and Etta James, John Pardo's guitar work owes as much to Creedence as it does to Television and drummer Memphis Mike is a powerhouse that ties it all together with a tornado's speed and energy. Rain and Pardo's songwriting effectively fuses the swing and stomp of 60's soul with the angular edginess of 70's punk and the melodic impact of power-pop and glam rock. HIGH WIRE also features lush backing vocals from Cynthia Santiglia (High School Sweethearts, Holmes), Paige Sixteen (High School Sweethearts) and Julia Rogers (Mister Badger, Curly Cues and formerly of the Demands).

FRANKIE & THE POOLBOYS – s/t CD
Double Crown Records
When San Francisco instrumental band Pollo Del Mar had to take a break from their recording and touring schedule last year, leader Ferenc Dobronyi had too much time on his hands and too many songs laying around. So he called up a few friends and they said "Yes" and Frankie & The Pool Boys was born. The original plan was to rearrange some of Pollo's more progressive songs into a trad surf style. But as guests were added, the sessions expanded to include mostly new songs and a couple cover tunes.
Dusty Watson (Dick Dale, Agent Orange, Slacktone, etc.) played drums on the whole thing with PDM's Jeff Turner joining him in the rhythm section on bass. Ferenc played guitar along with featured cameos from Shigeo Naka (Japan's The Surf Coasters), Dave Wronski (Slacktone), Ivan Pongracic (The Madeira, The Space Cossacks), Mel Waldorf (Meshugga Beach Party, Los Mel-tones) and 2008 Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame inductee Bob Spaulding (The Ventures).
The sound is strictly old world warm, no distortion boxes or digital reverbs were used. With Dusty pounding throughout (even on the slow songs), the big, natural drum sound mixes with the vintage guitar tones to recreate a live early Sixties session. Appropriate production touches (percussion, Vox Continental keys, trumpet) and varying tones give each song an individual personality.
The styles range from reverb drippin' trad ("Teke, Teke, Teke", "Johnny Fool") to Spaghetti Western ("A Man Called Dirt", "Finito Bandito"). A
couple of slow ones- "No Surf Today" and the bone chilling "Ice Station Echo" balance out the breakneck stomp of "Snakes and Ladders" and "Drop Dead". You get both spooky ("The Raven") and surf-pop ("Ewa on the Beach"). There's middle-Eastern ("Magyara") and Americana ("Amber Waves"). The oddball covers are a roaring surf version of Sir Edward Elgar's graduation processional "Pomp and Circumstance" (retitled here as "Pumpin' Surfing Stance") and a Memphis groovin' version of The Ventures' "Fugitive".

THE INCREDIBLE MR. SMITH – ADVENTURES IN THE LAND OF TWANG CD
General Schallplatten
Have you ever dreamed of a guitarist that sounds like the bastard son of Dick Dale, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix. and Jeff Beck? Your search may have come to an end. You watched too much TV in the '70s, dig old Clint Eastwood movies, and cops & robber shows from the '60s and '70s seem to be much cooler for you than modern day Hollywood schmock? And hey, do you really want to deny that a Ford Thunderbird has a lot more sex appeal than one of these “oh they’re so convenient” family vans of our time? You’re sick of watching American Idol and listening to another emo-deathmetal-electro-indie-singer whining about his emotional problems make you cringe. And now you’re looking for the right soundtrack for this feeling. Your search may have come to an end. THE INCREDIBLE MR. SMITH delivers the right sound for your ears: An energizing mixture of Californian Surf, Spaghetti Western Sound in the tradition of Ennio Morricone, Hillibilly Twang and wild Sixties Rock combined with a lot of guitar action between Twang, Noise & Blues. If you ever dreamed of a guitarist that sounds like the bastard son of Dick Dale, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix. and Jeff Beck, don’t look no further! Features Martin Schmidt of the Razorblades on guitar and Dusty Watson (Dick Dale, Slacktone, Agent Orange) on drums. 21 songs in all.

INSECT SURFERS – SATELLITE BEACH CD
Green Cookie Records
Insect Surfers began in the summer of 1979 in Washington, DC. They called their take on surf and ‘new wave’ music ‘Techno-Surf’, as they used a synthesizer and had a science-fiction bent. I.S. then won the award for “Best Instrumental Band’ at the ‘L.A. Weekly Music Awards’ in 2003. This compilation, ‘Satellite Beach’ focuses on some of the best tracks that the band has recorded during its Los Angeles years. As of this writing, Insect Surfers are the longest-running modern surf-instrumental band on the planet! In the past 2 decades they have shared stages with such artists as The Ventures, Dick Dale, Link Wray, Davie Allan, Chris Isaak, Jonathan Richman and Southern Culture on the Skids. "All I can say is, it's about time!..." -Phil Dirt.

It's got 13 great tunes.

MISTER NEUTRON – NOR'EASTER CD
Deep Eddy Records
Prepare yourselves, music lovers – a NOR’EASTER is a’brewin’! NOR’EASTER is the third – and brand-spanking-newest – release by the East Coast’s best surf/instrumental band, Mister Neutron. NOR’EASTER is slathered in everything that makes this band special: creative, original modern-surf melodies, lightning-fast playing and a subtlety and tightness that comes from playing together for 24 years. The 17 songs take you on a joy ride that ricochets between serene and downright menacing. Thrill to the ferocious double picking, the chilling glissandos and the trem-bar bends! Gawk and grin at the best instrumental rock you’ll hear in 2008!
NOR’EASTER showcases several instro-rock styles, including modern and classic surf, a slack-key-inspired acoustic tune, Hammond organ-drenched spy rock and spaghetti western via a new arrangement of Hang ’Em High. And although it’s packed with New Jersey references (Point Pleasant, Sea Girt, Tiki Barber), NOR'EASTER will have people doing the Neutron Stomp from coast to coast, down into Tuscany, Antigua, Weisbaden and Indochina! Maybe even Quebec!
NOR’EASTER is the perfect soundtrack to everything – and, yes, we mean EVERYthing – you'll do this summer.

This Cranford, N.J.-based trio fronted by brothers Damian and Tony Fanelli plays an interesting rootsy style that blends straight-ahead garage rock with roots and surf elements, with Damian's nimble and tasteful guitar playing deserving extra praise. They also wrap the whole package with a hefty dose of oddball and irreverent humor as evidenced in songs like "Atomic Supermen" and "Go, Stinky Monkey!" The record sprawls across 19 songs, and there are several songs here that are worthy of attention. – Andy Smith, Pop Culture Press.

THE MOE GREENE SPECIALS – s/t CD
Green Cookie Records
Influences here vary from Calexico-style desert songs and Stax soul, to mellow easy-goin' tunes and the immortal surf classics by Dick Dale. Founded in the summer of 2000, Moe Greene Specials started playing old surf tunes in their garage. Quickly, the idea emerged to form a complete instrumental surfrock band. These guys are not just immitators of the spaghetti-western idea, they initially set themselves up that way. Everything is original on this CD and the quality is consistantly high. Moody, dramatic surf and excellent arrangements get the most out of every tune. MGS might have the best album that Ennio Morricone never made. This a good one for all spag-west fans, and a good palce to start for any newcomer.

SPY-FI – BLACK TIE SPY CD
Sivle Records
Black Tie Spy is the latest CD offering from Spy-Fi, Cleveland, Ohio’s spy-detective band. With the band’s first two releases, Music for Spies, Thighs and Private Eyes Volumes 1 and 2, Spy-Fi concentrated on interpreting classic spy and detective themes.
This time Spy-Fi gathered a collection of original compositions interspersed with select cover tunes. Those covers include a wide variety of styles and influences, not necessarily from the spy-detective genre. They include the classics Perry Mason Theme, Rumble, Apache, and Wave.
The album is organized around the diverse moods and moments one might encounter in a movie soundtrack. Finished thematic ideas are separated by short song sketches which then segue back into more produced and finished tracks. Some tracks also include spoken word segments in Russian, which lend to the air of mystery and intrigue that one may find in a spy saga.
The album is named after its opening track; a collaboration between Spy-Fi and Vic Flick. Mr. Flick is best known for his contributions to the original James Bond Theme and 11 other James Bond soundtracks. Together they have penned Black Tie Spy. Spy-Fi is honored to have Vic involved with the CD and Vic plays guitar on the title track.

TWANGUERO – LO-FI EXPERIMENTS IN TWANG CD
Like tender chunks of guisada soaking up the flavors of Texas' musical stew, three Texans and a fiddler of the Smokey Mountains added their own unique spice to this recipe for Southwestern American music that has bubbled forth from Austin's musical melting pot. This new delicacy of Texas music is tough and tasty as a longhorn ribeye, raw as the range it grazed, and sophisticated enough to serve with the finest whiskey west of Cowtown. Seasoned with rock and roll, vintage country, hillbilly, surf music and elemental jazz, there's a new T in Texas music, TWANGUERO!
