Album Notes

Big Wave Riders is a collection of surf and instrumental tracks from around the world. It's more than just a compilation, though. It's a statement. It says that surf music didn't go out with the '60s. It says that surf music is not just a California thing. Instead, it's a worldwide phenomena. We have bands from all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, England, Spain, Germany, Slovenia, Sweden, and Australia, and each band is unique. Each band has its own statement to make - instrumentally. That's right. There are no lyrics, no words whatsoever. This album's a blast! It's great for the car, the boat, the beach, whatever makes you happy. Give it a whirl!

REVIEWS

Solid collection of the surf genre
author: M. L. Downey
For surf music aficionados, “Big Wave Riders” is a fairly solid collection of bands, mostly American, they’ve probably not heard of. For newbies, it’s not a bad place to start learning about the genre. In the rocking category, “Five Guns West” by the Nematoads, “My Wonderful Shadow” by the Aquamarines, and the unfortunately-named Bitch Boys’ “Pendleton Surf” are stellar examples of the craft. In the more meditative cluster of tunes, “”Collateral Tears” by the Surfdusters and “Chrome and Water” by 3 Balls of Fire explore the different facets of surf music. At the least, you can brag about having a CD including Swedish, Slovenian, Australian, and German surf bands.
