It’s Bandcamp Friday. Let’s celebrate with our second exotica release - SRW302 Volcano - Lava (Digifile CD)

From tropical tiki jungles to swinging space shindigs, from kooky B-movie trips to quirky lounge jams, Coconut Volcano bring us lush strings, smokey vibes, jungle beats, surfy guitar and bongos-a-go-go with creamy dreamy vocals from the coconut girls.

It’s a tropical heaven.

SRW308 - S.H.A.R.P. - “Hyperborean Tales" (Jacket CD)

Hyperborean Tales is a blistering 4 song EP featuring two of modern surf’s underground musical heroes stepping outside of all bounds of genre to bring a crushingly heavy aesthetic to the ever evolving SHARP sound - The Surf Hermits and The Angry Red Planet. Rodd’s incendiary fretboard shred combines with Jason’s melodic twang to carry SHARP to new heights on top of the usual intense momentum of Jason’s drumming and the combined bass playing of both musicians. Traditional surf fans, beware! This EP has more distortion than Dick Dale’s strat had sparkles.

*** NEW RELEASE *** SRW256 The Surf Hermits - The Surf Hermits Jam!! Volume 1 (Jacket CD)

The Surf Hermits return with a collaborative album like no other! JAM!! Volume 1 is an album of all new original Surf Hermits tunes with a twist: exciting guests from across the surf music scene join The Surf Hermits on every song, trading melodies, solos, and more on the strongest, most musical Surf Hermits album yet.

Like a live jam, the energy is high on this album, and each song was written with the specific guest player in mind, leading to some of the most exciting, guitar-forward modern surf to appear in a long time. Featuring members of The Breakers, Underwater Bosses, The Surf Junkies, Agent Octopus, Black Valley Moon, Systilus, The Angry Red Planet, Sys Malakian, S.H.A.R.P., The Eddys, and more, JAM!! showcases what makes these players great, framing them in the driving momentum of the Surf Hermits’ sound. Jason’s unique guitar sound and style complements each guest in different ways, and the combination of different approaches in the same song takes the music to new heights. Everyone is playing their best, even showing off a bit, and it will blow every listener away!

Best in the world.

Happy Halloween 2024!

*** IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ***
I’m happy to say that I survived my surgery earlier this month and I am recovering well. However surgeons advise that I avoid sedentary activity eg using computers for long periods. Therefore there is no big promotion for Halloween this year, but I can offer 10% discount if you use the promo code mumbojumbo at checkout.

Please note that I am separated from some of my stock, so some CD titles are getting a second pressing in the UK. Titles sent within the USA will be fulfilled as normal but some titles being sent to Europe may be subject to delay.

There are plenty of horror theme titles in the Sharawaji Records catalogue including The Terrorsurfs, The Aquaholics, Wasagas, Genki Genki Panic, The Eyeberries, Voodoo Surf Tribe, Terreur Twist, Underwater Bosses, The Chuguysters and two incredible bundles.

*** IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ***
Today is Bandcamp Friday, a day in which our favourite platform waives their share of revenue and it all goes directly to the artist and label.

But aside from that I must give you some important information which affects fulfilment of orders.

On 31st August I had an MRI which revealed a benign but very large tumour high up on my spine. This tumour is severely compressing the nerves just below the brain and if not removed would result in paralysis from the neck down within 5 years. I have surgery (re)scheduled to the 15th October, and after that I can expect a slow and painful recovery. The neurosurgeon has given me 3 months sick leave and during that time I’m not allowed to fly, so I’m stuck in the UK away from the majority of our vinyl stock.

My only income during this time will be from record sales so I encourage you to order as many titles as possible , but please don’t select Hong Kong as a shipping origin as I won’t be able to return there until early December. I’m currently only able to ship from the UK, or alternatively if a band is holding our titles in the USA or Canada, it can ship from there. However, shipping from the UK is going to be a bit more expensive for some destinations such as the USA.

At this time I have pretty much no sensation in my fingertips and movement is becoming difficult, so please be patient with delivery. I’m relying on bands to help fulfil orders, and also promote our product.

We have a limited number of the Hallmark Guitars Presents The Kustom Kings Ride Again in the UK but these will ship without the promotional guitar picks for the time being. They will be sent at a later date when I return to Hong Kong, but I have reduced the price of the vinyl to US$20 to compensate for the additional delay and shipping cost.

You can make you purchase at http://Sharawaji.bandcamp.com

Thank you for all your support.
