The Anacondas, a spicy surf band from Amsterdam with a taste for ballroom blitz and psychedelic bizarre. The Anacondas started in 2000 when Johnny Torpedo stopped playing raw power punk with his band The Killers. Johnny had enough of noise and distortion and started to gain more interest in reverb and vibrato. He met Jack Stuka, Pete Python and Messerschmitt Marzl and formed The Anacondas, a surf style band with a rock & roll heart.

Agent Octopus is an indie surf band that rollicks through diverse styles of the genre, but their essence is always melodic, reverb laced guitar lines. Heavily influenced by European and Slavic song structure; one moment they dive and crash like a chaotic wave, then sparkle and splash with the calming tides, only to close out with a swelling beach ballad. We call this “The Atlantic Coast Surf Sound”. The members all have current or past roots in surf, and an excess of songwriting and gigging experience. Art Svrjcek, former lead guitarist of Reverb Galaxy, takes the helm on the majority of numbers. His avant-garde approach to surf still loves to throw in the traditional tremolo picking and long bending chords. He pays homage to his Czech/Slavic heritage in his compositions and arrangements. Jim Colby (Jim and the Seadragons) adds his unique, flowing and melodic style as he alternates between guitar and bass. His carefree, Florida lifestyle just flows out through his guitar playing. Add Lew Bobbit (the Atom Bumz), a chameleon on drums, versed in multiple styles. He draws from years of playing in clubs all up and down the Eastern Seaboard. Dropping into the band in 2023 is Wes Fleming, 2nd guitarist and the driving force behind the band, Hypersonic Secret. A student of music and all things guitar, he adds a third layer to the melodic chemistry of Agent Octopus.

Since 2001, they are the first surf music band in Romagna, Italy! The band was founded in January 2001 by Gardo (who plays and listen to surf music since he was 15). After 7 years of occasional shows in 2008 they come back full time! In 2009, 2011 and 2013 Psycho Surfers play in the greatest surf music events in Europe: Surfer Joe Summer Festival. In the latest years they have the honor to be in the same stage with the Neanderthals, Los Straitjackets, with one of their idols, John Blair (the founder and leader of Jon & the Nightriders) and Paul Johnson (Belairs), one of the inventors of surf sound. Psycho Surfers are back, they're here to stay!
We love surf guitar. We love music. We are an old school surf guitar band from Ottawa, Ontario. We have been told we sound “Tarantino” and “like something out of the 60′s” and you know what? To us, that’s a compliment. We are an instrumental surf guitar band combining vintage music we all know and love, music you never knew but will come to love, and our own originals, composed in an iconic style, and drenched in reverb and tremolo.
