Ryan, that's quite the treasure trove! Nice find! That's about as up close and personal as it gets. We get to really observe the Phantom Four brilliance in full flight. Very very cool! Noah, do yourself a HUGE favor and download the Phantom Four's new album Morgana for just 5 Euros (7 bucks) from their website. You owe it to yourself to familiarize yourself a bit with Phantom Frank's genius. (He was also the lead guitar player in the seminal '90s Dutch surf band the Treble Spankers.)

Thanks Ivan. See, you mentioned the Treble Spankers and I now know who he is. Hahahaha... I plan on picking it up, as I really enjoyed the videos. —THE KBK ... This is the last known signal. We offer Sanctuary. www.thekbk.com |

Hey Marco, long time no see! Wow, I loved that. Thanks for posting those Ryan. It was great seeing them close up like that. Of course I'd love to see them live in a full volume setting as well. Yes, and please do yourself a favor and buy a download of their new album. It is super cheap (and you can pay more if want!) and well, well worth it.

And while you're at it, I recommend you familiarize yourself with Secret Samurai. Ryan has a most unique, jaw droppingly amazing playing style. He plays symphonies single handedly on his guitar. One of the very top players in the genre. —Danny Snyder Playing keys and guitar with Combo Tezeta Formerly a guitarist in The TomorrowMen and Meshugga Beach Party Latest surf project - Now That's What I Call SURF |

Thanks, Ryan!!! Absolutely sensational; sticking with my earlier comment about the latest release... simply infectious. My only gripe, the vids end and you hear the start of the next song but those next songs aren't there. For example, at the end of that middle video (#2) / the song Sonido Amazonico ends and you hear the first 2 notes of A Forest (Cure cover) but that's not up on YT from the store. Oh well. What is there is fabulous! Thanks again for bringing these to my/our attention! —Fady El Mirage @ ReverbNation |

I'm just in awe. —This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. |
Ryan doesn't get nearly enough recognition, he deserves a lot more. Noah, if you picked up the Brave New Surf comp you would have had a chance to check out the genius of both the Phantom Four AND 
Or you can just pick up Zanshin, their latest album (from 2011)!Please visit our friends in the surf music community:
