Legendary guitar slinger John Reis (Rocket from The Crypt, The Sultans,Hot Snakes, Night Marchers,etc.) wanted to make a surf album so he joins forces with Minnesota`s psychedelic punkers The Blind Shake.So a couple of years ago they got together and laid down a whack of tracks and now the resulting album is finally out.Washing up on shore is ``Modern Surf Classics`` containing 13 tracks of hard driving surf ,hell for the most part this is surf punk meets smash mouth surf and it`s damn good.Yes there is a few traditional surf tracks and that adds to the kool feel of the album.Highlights include: ``Over The Falls``, ``Zulu As Kono``, ``Sea Saw`` and ``Kooks On The Face``.
Overall ``Modern Surf Classics`` is a killer album that is a blast of fresh air as well as a wall of sound.It may not appeal to all fans of surf but there really is something for everyone here (even if your a traditionalist). This baby will blow you away !! Highly Recommended!!
