A Mad Convergence Of Surf Bands Doing Their Thang


Supertones Surf - Modern Surf Band Spotlight
2003

*

Why would 15 bands from across the globe cover songs composed by The Supertones? Contrary to what you may think - this is NOT a tribute album. This album IS a showcase of some of today's up and coming bands in the modern surf instrumental scene. It displays a slice of the vast talent of the surf instrumental phenomenon that has spread throughout the world and continued to grow unabated since the early 1960s. The songs and performances are a testimony to the quality of The Supertones' music and the tremendous talent of today's hot new surf bands. 29 tracks with almost 78 minutes of surf instrumental madness. Includes The Nebulas, Metalunas, Cocktail Preachers, VonRippers, Ralph Rebel, Estrume'n'al, Retroliners, Monsters From Mars!, Diamondheads, tsmf, ZPS, Sharkskins, Mighty Surf Lords, Brainwashers and the Bitch Boys.
