Every year I compile this list. If I'm missing something, let me know.

The list is here:

I'll post the contents here, but I'm only going to update the link.

About This List
Every year I try to compile this list for a few reasons:

1. So that people can see in a very concrete way that surf is by no means a dead genre.
2. To get a good glimpse at the full variety of surf music out there.
3. To recognize all the releases that I never played on my show or wrote about on my blog.
4. To organize it all and help me get my brain in order as I get ready for my annual Gremmy awards.

A few rules though:

1. This is just a list. No judgement.
2. I defined an EP as less than 8 songs or under 25 minutes.
3. No single song releases. At that point it gets impossible to track.
4. Each release should be over 50% instrumental.

Big thanks as always to Nestor Burma and Leopoldo of Reverb Brasil for finding a few missing entries. By all means feel free to point out others.

Great list, thank you Hunter! Although this makes me realise that I have pretty much lived under a rock this year concerning new releases. Lots to catch up!
Do digital only releases qualify at all for your list? If so: "Postcards from the Scrapyard Vol. 1" was released in October. I can send you a free download, if you want to check it out.

Yeah, Longboard Mornings was released in June 2019. The newest EP, Lost Souls on Lost Beach officially releases in January 2020. We have been prolific ha-ha.

Thanks!

Only reason I left it off was because I know you had a January 2020 release date on it.

Edit: My bad, I was thinking of the wrong release!

Thank you, again!

Amazing work. Thank you. Been on a Messer Chups binge lately.

Wow big list

I wonder what the top selling numbers are or average sales for all these new albums? Seems like most bands just burn it on keeping equipment alive, or at least in the past it was that way.

I found this top 100 albums of old school surf below I thought was interesting: https://rateyourmusic.com/list/paddlesteamer/top_100_surf_rock_instrumentals__as_rated_by_rym_users__/

I've been thinking a lot about compiling a best surf records of the 2010's list. But one big old list at a time.

Thx to Hunter for this list (and for everything else)!!!

And a lovely hug for The Kahuna Kings <3

The Aquatudes second album has JUST come out. It's been seven years since our first release, so we're a little overdue. It's titled "To Surf, With Love" with 13 original tracks. It's available through CD Baby - soon to be available at all the usual download spots and streaming sites.
