Im curious are there any noisy, sloppy, loud, fast or lo-Fi, surf bands on record. Like who would be the Sonic Youth, Replacements, even White Stripes of Instro Surf?

I'd suggest the Mermen for the Sonic Youth category...

I would hardly describe either as sloppy (or indeed lo-fi), though.

Lots of lo-fi surf, it's almost its own subgenre. I take it you're asking about all these adjectives at once?

My band is definitely noisy, but I'd say there are lots more pushing that direction: http://thespoils.bandcamp.com/track/the-ivory-coast

Like others have suggested, SY, 'Mats and White Stripes have...not a whole lot to do with each other. Is the target here surf-punk that doesn't sound like Agent Orange or instrumental Ramones covers?

edit: WOW! Everybody watch that Jackie & The Cedrics clip right now.

I'm pretty much not really interested in anything played with less gusto than this or the infrareds. .02 and stuff, ymmv, and to each their own and whatnot. Unless, of course, you're doing something really different.

I nominate the Neptunas. This is early in their career. Later videos are more polished. I found links to what appear to be studio recordings.
To me this series is priceless.

This is so awesome! Exactly what I was hoping for. It's all really great. Infrared and Jackie and the Cedrics are fantastic. Thanks for all the quick replies. I keep hoping to turn up some kind of modern Wray, Dale, Thunders type solo hotshot kinda like Guitar Wolf or Eddie Legend Story but surfier. So right on!

There's no shortage of noisy bands, but for 'fastest' i'd say 'The Infrareds',I recall seeing them several times and they would try to play so fast that it was just beyond their actual ability sometimes, kinda cool to see, actually....
