We are excited to announce the upcoming release of the debut full-length CD by The Surfites, called Big Pounder. The disc is packed solid with great, original surf instrumentals.
The Surfites (http://www.thesurfites.com) are a gang of landlocked gremmies playing instrumental surf music in the old school style. Formed in 2003 by the two Fjellgren brothers of now defunct Swedish surf band the Daytonas. The Surfites are mainly a studio group with buddies Folke Bergkvist (bass), Henry Karlsson (piano/organ) and Gunnar Lindholm (drums) dropping by for the recording sessions. Klas and Jack Fjellgren play all the guitar parts and write the songs, as well as arranging and producing the recordings. The guys have just completed recording material for a debut album in their basement studio and the finished CD will be released on Double Crown Records on March 27th 2007. One of their songs, "Surfville", will appear on the upcoming Sazanami Records compilation Wild Sazanami Beat #4. Also, be sure to check out the Surfites on MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/thesurfites). Cowabunga!
The Surfites - Big Pounder CD is now available for order with credit card and Paypal. If you order before the release date of March 27th you will receive a free bonus track called "Drag-U-La Beat" immediately. The CD will then be shipped to you on it's release date. If you are a subscriber to the Double Crown Music Club (http://www.dblcrown.com/dcmc.html) you can also get this free bonus track - just drop us a line for details (records@dblcrown.com).

Seriously, everyone needs to order this. I'm saying this based on the 5 or 6 songs I've heard: The Surfites are one of the greatest surf groups of today.

Thanks for all of your positive feedback regarding the Surfites' CD and the songs you've heard so far. We are getting quite a few pre-orders - thanks to all of you that have ordered the disc, or plan to in the future!
To answer the question regarding the bonus track - yes, it's the same version as on Deep Eddy's Big Wave Riders CD, so not a huge incentive to pre-order the Surfites disc if you already have the Big Wave Riders comp (if you don't have it you should get it - it's got a load of outstanding tunes on it!).

Definitely not me. I would be more like the guy that comes flying in the background on the album cover.

The new Surfites CD is on the truck and should be here at Double Crown HQ early next week. I have decided to extend the free bonus track offer to anyone that buys the Surfites CD directly from Double Crown, either before or after the March 27th release date. It will also be available through iTunes, CD Baby, Amazon.com and other record stores throughout the world.
