Storm Surge of Reverb: Instrumental Rock & Roll and Surf Rock

Poland sounding like 60's California

Sometimes being part of a local scene can raise your profile a bit, make sure the right people hear your stuff. I. Jeziak and the Surfers are, to my knowledge, the only Polish surf band at the moment, and yet they've managed to break out all the same, getting signed to the prestigious Hi-Tide label,...

I've really enjoyed this album, but very curious to hear other opinions.

Los Straitjackets were, and perhaps still are, the biggest band in modern surf music, regularly finding their way onto large festival lineups that actual non-weird people went to and making several appearances on Conan O'Brien's show. And then... nothing changed. They continued playing, there were s...

Surf music has all the fun of a water park without worrying about how gross the water is!

Wild, expansive surf music out of Tennessee!

I have to be careful about stuff like this, as I'm an easy target for overproduced maximalist surf music. Trying to peel back the layers of this, naming and following the instruments, would require some notes and probably a little pausing and rewinding, and sometimes when there's so much of that to....

This one is probably flying under your radar. Don't let it!

The past month or two have been a rush of new surf music, many of them from long-standing names or on trusted labels. Sun Bus, hailing from Bethlehem, PA (outside Allentown), are decidedly neither of those things, but maybe this 6-song EP will change that. This isn't their first release, with a few....

He doesn't miss!

Every time I get a bandcamp notification with a new release from the mysterious William J Le Petomane on bandcamp, it elicits an "ooh!". And upon listening to this one I must confirm: "ooh!".

Ever notice how nobody says "I like all kinds of music except surf music?". It's because everybody loves surf music!

I was absolutely flattered to be featured in this video from Tulane University. It was a lot of fun to do and I want to thank The Woodhavens for letting us use their music as a soundtrack. I LOVE how it came out.

I took a lot of photos at Surf Guitar 101 Convention

My top 200 or so are here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/9cDKq56vbHyiveGG9

And I've got a bunch of others that are still pretty good:

My thoughts and snapshots of the last day of Surfguitar 101 Festival 2025.

It was Sunday, the final day of the Surfguitar101 Festival. I wanted to take the morning to appreciate Long Beach a little bit more, and this time it took the form of a nice run along the beach. I try to take advantage of exercising in other climates when I can because home is 95 degrees and 100% hu...
