Album Notes

The Howlin’ Thurstons are the face of modern instrumental rock and roll. Unlike surf music that is nostalgic for 60’s California beach culture, the music of the Thurstons is the music of today, shaped by daily life in their home town of New York City. Their wide open garage heavy style and deft narrative twists have been called “distinctively original” ,“east coast edgy”, and “dangerously modern”. Whether they are turning old cartoon instrumental classics into medleys of mayhem, or are providing their own take on daily urban rituals like getting that morning cup of coffee in a song like “Lining up for Latte”, the Howlin’ Thurstons never fail to deliver powerful rock and roll laced with intensity, humor , and above all , originality.
