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.
