Moms I'd Like To Surf - Beach Control To Major Knob 2019

   Moms I'd Like To Surf  first emerged back in 2014 with a pretty kool self titled ep and then quickly followed it up in 2015 with an even stronger ep "Surf Cops Are Watching You". Sure their name caught people's attention but the brand of modern surf they laid down  was and is damn impressive. Just on the strength of those 2 eps ,one just knew that this is one talented outfit and  that are willing to take risks.Their long awaited  debut  "Beach Control To Major Knob" backs that up .This puppy rushes in with 11 original tracks and 1 cover of extremely kool surf music. This time out they take a lot of risks and really mix it up.We get some hard edge rockin' surf  to  tracks that really shift and go through the gears .There is a lot going on here and they even throw in some violin and horns into the mix .  As a result this is a interesting , damn refreshing and unique album.Highlights include: " Kiss The Viking Beard", "Messiah Jerk", "Wave Almighty", "Hipster On A Beach" and " Sunless Summer Boogaloo"

             
          Moms I'd Like To Surf  are on top of their game with "Beach Control To Major Knob".This is one of the best surf albums to come down the pike in awhile and well worth snapping up. It's killer modern surf that takes chances and pulls it off in a big way.

Insect Surfers - Datura Moon 2017

The Insect Surfers have been kicking around since 1979 and in that time they have appeared on a whack of compilations but have only released 4 albums ( not including a best of and live album).However those 4 albums are pretty much considered classics of the surf genre. Their last and arguably best offering "Infra Green" came out in 2013.Despite the limited amount of releases they are and remain one of the kings of modern surf.That said the band's latest "Datura Moon"is finally out and  again they take it a notch up.This time out we get 10 original tracks that run the gamut  from traditional to progressive surf to psychedelic.Let's call it what it is damn good modern surf.Sure it's more of the same but these cats always seem to up the game. This is one  kool and refreshing ride that pushes the folds  of surf .Highlights include: " Flying Fish Offramp","Red Mesa", "Tapping The Source" and "Wavelength"

 The Insect Surfers are a band you expect good things from and they always deliver.With " Datura Moon" they do it again.This is a pretty stout and impressive album by a truly killer band. Highly recommended !
