Aloha Screwdriver (Alameda-California, USA)

https://www.facebook.com/Aloha-Screwdriver-230524580808/

Biography (From Facebook page)

" Aloha Screwdriver delivers a high-octane mix of surf and twang. The Alameda, CA-based instrumental group formed in 2009 by three friends (possibly from another dimension) who have been playing music together since they were 15 years old.

In 2011, Aloha Screwdriver released their first CD, titled No Way Out. Recored to tape entirely on vintage gear, the 8-song EP has a uniquely saturated, old school sound that sonically sits right alongside '60s recordings of Dick Dale, but calls itself out with its punk-tempo pacing and rock-inspired drumming.

The Eliminators are hands down the most traditional instrumental surf band out there. They have a very authentic look and sound. Joe and I will text from time to time. In fact, he said if he ever makes it out to Memphis, he will come see my band play!

Thank you guy's

But all the credit goes to John Blair for steering me in the right direction to https://surfguitar101.com/bandmap/ and Brian for making it. And all the bands that made so many great CD's and music so far- good job guy's and gal's. (I like the costumes as well.)

I found about 28 bands so far on top of the original 785 found on SG101 map linked above and seem to find a new one everyday. So far it looks like there are at least 4,500 CD's worth of old and new surf music out there to acquire as well based on past trends so far. (Wow)

I had no idea either that there is that much new music out there or that many bands in the Instrumental Surf genre as well. Many bands broke up or are inactive, but a majority seem to be still out there surfing.

I thought I knew everything about surf music as well till I joined SG101, but the SG101 Band Map https://surfguitar101.com/bandmap/ totally blew my mind as far as how many bands there are world wide. I had know idea how big it is or how many bands are around my own area as well. Most I never heard of and I follow the local scene near me here all the time. And even here there are about 345 Rock and Pop bands coming through Eastern Shore Maryland, USA (Ocean City) every Summer etc. So about 600 active Surf bands around the world I guess isn't really that big, but still impressive to say the least.

Some bands were very hard to find info on - many only listed the towns they are in or didn't even list that, so I had to figure out where they were based on data in associated links etc....Like some bands you can list here in like 5 minutes and others can take days to find.

Biography (From Facebook page)

The Flamestones" is another way to say "Amber" that comes from the Baltic Sea. This is a true beach-goer's stone/jewel and this is the name of our Surf-Rock Band.

Based in Gdańsk, Poland (which is hailed as the World Capital of Amber), The Flamestones are fascinated with the beach parties of the '60s. With original musical equipment from that era, they create a unique atmosphere connected to the rhythm of the ocean waves. In their music, you can hear sounds truly inspired by sports from the USA: Surfing and Drag-Racing.

Surf Zombies (Cedar Rapids-Iowa - USA)

https://www.discogs.com/artist/3699340-The-Surf-Zombies

Biography (From Facebook page)

" The seeds of the Surf Zombies were planted long ago in a basement in Fort Dodge, Iowa, when Brook Hoover discovered a scratchy 45 of the Surfaris’ “Wipe Out.” The sound of surf guitar never left Hoover’s mind, and after decades of friends and fans suggesting it, Surf Zombies were born in 2006 with Hoover and Doug Roberson (Diplomats of Solid Sound, Bent Scepters) on guitar, Jim Viner (Brother Trucker) on drums, and Hoover’s long-time collaborator and childhood friend Joel McDowell (Meerkats) on bass.

Surf Zombies hit the ground running, with an opening spot for surf guitar icon Dick Dale as their first public appearance, and a self-titled album released shortly thereafter. Their second album, “Something Weird,” saw the departure of Roberson and Viner, and welcomed Kyle Oyloe (Meerkats) on guitar and baritone. “Lust For Rust” expanded on the garage rock influence evident on “Something Weird,” and introduced heavy hitter Tyler Russel on drums, who would remain a fixture for many years. When Oyloe and McDowell stepped away from guitar and bass duties, Ian Williams (the Wheelers, the Blendours) and Trevor Treiber (the Blendours) joined the ranks, and filled out the roster that would be heard on their fourth album, “It’s a…THING!”

Surf Zombies have reached a wide range of audiences playing hot-rod shows, breweries, bars, restaurants, theaters, and city festivals across the midwest. Their songs have been featured on TV shows like MTV’s Ridiculousness and A&E’s Bad Ink. Iowa Brewing Company honored the band by producing Surf Zombies IPA, and in 2017 the band received the Spirit Award from the Iowa Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In October 2018, the band’s long awaited 5th release, “Return of the Skeleton,” finally saw the light of day and introduced Luke Ferguson (Lipstick Homicide) as the new man on drums. The album features expansive songwriting from Hoover, Treiber, and Williams and shows the band at their finest, stretching the boundaries of the genre while still retaining the classic surf elements that continue to delight listeners across the world.?
