Beard - Surfer March

Anyone have any recommendations for surf bands with a latin slant that I can check out?

Welcome Beard,

That was really well done, quite impressive. However and with all due respect, it's not what most of us would call surf music. We differentiate ourselves from the Jack Johnson style which has recently been also called surf music. Our roots are from the early 60's Dick Dale style reverberated guitar with lots of tremolo picking, distinctive melodies and the surf beat. To get a better idea download our free podcasts and peruse the archives.

Eddie Bertrand tells a tale of playing "Corrido Rock" every night at retail clerk's hall and how the crowd would get absolutely wild dancing to it.

Somebody might want to consider reviving this, Surf style.

Oh wow thanks for the Jungle of Twang recommendation. I like what I am hearing. I can only find the songs online in mp3 unless I want to pay import prices for the cd. Anyone know what quality mp3 amazon.com uses? 192?

Aw heck the reverb police have moved in.

I didn't realise that this forum was attracting purists .The following for this genre is way to small as it is ,lets not put down a new member.

I think it's a great sound Beard, best of luck with your band.

It's not about putting down a new member, it's about trying to preserve surf music as we know it for future generations.

Very well put....no offense, it's just a different kind of music.

Just so everyone knows I do think "Surfer March" could be considered a variation of spaghetti surf. I also really like this song!
Beard I'm assuming you've heard of Calexico right? Your music reminds me of them a lot!
