Back in 2012 The Surfaders released the mighty fine " Dragstrip Murder Mystery"and it caught more than a few surf fans off guard.The band found itself firmly planted on the surf map and quickly became one of the surf bands to watch.Their blend of traditional ,spaghetti,surf noir with a smearing of punk was and is refreshing and kinda kool. Now in 2015 there back ,better and still have a few surprises too boot. The band's sophomore effort "A Greater Silence" ups the game and changes direction.This puppy washes ashore with 12 original tunes that cover the usual ground of surf but this time out the band heads more into spaghetti western territory.Not only that we get vocals and not just on a couple of tracks but 5.The Vocals will throw most but don't let that fool you this is still really good surf. Highlights include: " Sarpha", "Little Johnny from Hangman's Tree", "Dust from the Sun" and the killer "Sharkbait"
The Surfaders aren't a band that's afraid to change it up and push the boundaries .With "A Greater Silence" they prove that. This is a damn good album that manages to surprise, challenge you and leaves you wondering where The Surfaders go next.

Back in early 2014 Calgary's The 427's released "Surf Noir", a very strong ep and campus radio stations across Canada picked right up on it.Hell that 5 song ep has charted across the country and is still getting a ton of airplay a year later.Believe me that's no small feat especially for a surf band.The band also managed to gain some attention south of the border in America as well. Seizing on the so called moment the band has just released it's debut album "Mavericks" and this puppy nails it.We get 11 (1 hidden) original tracks of basically first wave inspired surf that are smooth ,slick and damn good.Throw in some spaghetti and spy and the result is one very impressive debut.Highlights include: "The Spy Invasion", "Yellowbelly", "Urchin Stomp" and "The Score"
