Kristena and I both kept Razzing Baja Marty about it at the Surf Museum on Sun. So now he's got the bug to finally plunk down some $$$ and get it. I got Marty a Barbwires cd and 45 while they were here., so he's gonna get me a Surfites in return. cant wait to get my own.

Marty will get all crazy like he does when Outerwave plays those Fender IV tunes. hehe — "Turn the knob to 10 and break it off!" -Baja Marty Top
Robbb Joined: Oct 27, 2006 Posts: 30	Posted on Apr 17 2007 09:55 PM Just got mine yesterday and listened to it for the first time today. I really love the tempo of the album---great stuff! The guitar tab in the liner notes is such an awesome idea (hint, hint to all the bands who have a release in the works ) Thanks for the awesome tunes! Rp Top

spskins Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 3780 tn	Posted on Apr 19 2007 08:39 AM I have to chime in again after listening for a few days. At first the massive drip and overall mix made me think of the Astronauts, as others have mentioned, but now I'm hearing a really strong Gary Usher (Super Stocks era) influence in the melodies and song structure(s). You can't go wrong with that. Excellent! — http://www.satanspilgrims.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Satans-Pilgrims/8210228553 https://satanspilgrims.bandcamp.com/ http://www.surfyindustries.com Top
Klas Joined: Feb 26, 2006 Posts: 2293 Stockholm, Sweden	Posted on Apr 19 2007 02:01 PM We are huge Gary Usher fans so I guess it's not a coincidence. Some people also have mentioned that we remind them of the New Dimensions which are another favorite of ours. And of course we also dig the Astronauts. — T H E ✠ S U R F I T E S Top
spskins Joined: Feb 27, 2006 Posts: 3780 tn	Posted on Apr 19 2007 03:14 PM The New Dimensions might have been my next revelation...I'm a slow processor. Not only that, these are pretty subtle influences,The Surfites definitely have your own thing. Hearing the Usher influence just sort of came to me slowly. — http://www.satanspilgrims.com http://www.facebook.com/pages/Satans-Pilgrims/8210228553 https://satanspilgrims.bandcamp.com/ http://www.surfyindustries.com Top

SurfBandBill Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1487 San Francisco	Posted on May 23 2007 03:33 AM Just to chip in on this one -- this is one of the best trad-sounding CDs I've picked up in ages. It's got a boooch factor of 15. AMAZING tones, and some killer composition on the disc as well. They really knocked it out of the park with this release. ~B~ Top
Jon Joined: Mar 15, 2006 Posts: 1076 Columbus, OH	Posted on May 23 2007 09:23 AM I taught myself to play 'Surfville' the other day. I turned my tank to 8-8-8 and got pretty close to that crazy Surfites sound. Still, there's no substitute for the original. Top
