The Huaraches - Curl Up With The Huaraches 2018

 One of Canada's finest surf bands, The Huaraches are about to throw you a slick and kool curveball. After two quick and  killer albums back in 2013 and 2014, the band is now back with"Curl Up With The Huaraches", their 3rd and best album yet.This time out, they once again elevate their game and veer off into somewhat uncharted territory.We get 11 original tracks that range from a little traditional surf to surfpunk and straight up  psychedelic.Hell we even get a 50's inspire instro burner that kills it.Into the mix they throw in some trumpet,sax,lapsteel and a whack of keys.This is dangerous and fun surf that will color you impressed.Highlights include: Three Up, Three Down,"Wolfe Island Make Out Beach", "Breakfast Of Challengers" and "It's Called A Cave Stomp".

     
        The Huaraches are  evolving  and getting stronger with time. "Curl Up With The Huaraches" is proof of that.This is modern surf that takes a backseat to no one. Highly recommended!

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 !
