The Syndicate of Surf releases Studio Surf Styles Vol. 1 Hodads Hang 10!

Sharawaji Records is proud to announce the release of the debut album from The Syndicate of Surf.

image

The debut recording, Studio Surf Styles Vol 1: Hodads Hang Ten! has been professionally mixed and mastered for release as a digital download in addition to a full retail release as a Limited Edition Digipack CD.

Hodads Hang 10! explores the the rich sonic landscape as the sun sets on the surf music craze of the mid 1960s, and considers how surf music would have developed if the British Invasion had not so much wiped out surf music in the late 1960s, but melded with it in a glorious tidal wave of Silvertone powered rock n roll.

You will hear tracks originally recorded by The Stooges, The Dictators, The Ramones, Bob Lind, The Seeds, The Sex Pistols and Swing West in addition to three original compositions by Da Vinci Flinglestein.

To celebrate the release we will be playing tracks from Hodads Hang 10! on www.surfrockradio.com from 2355 HKT, that's around midday in Eastern USA.

The album is available now from Sharawaji Records as a digital download and in a few days as a Limited Edition Digipack CD.

B11 released "Surf My Spy"

Released 12/9/2015

"Surf My Spy" is B11's third release.

All original instrumental journey telling the dramatic story of a Space Age spy.

"Space Age Tragedy"​ - This melody will take you to a time when everyday objects were designed as pieces of art. It is another one to add to the "dramatic adventure in 12/8", a B11 specialty.

"Spooky Soca Surf" - a new genre is born! Surf music with a latin flavor girls can strip to! You're welcome! A Halloween favorite as well! Featuring all minor chords for complete spookiness and not a glimpse of hope: you drown in reverb of horror and tremble with fear from the pulsating tremolo. Features an appearance by Satan himself. He deceives with some funky lines at first before revealing what he came for... Luckily our spy has a vehicle at her disposal:

"Surf My Spy" - a rocking surf number. Our spy survived the Space Age Tragedy, beat the crap out of Satan, and surfed free into the cosmos! Hooray!

Boyan Hristov - all music, arrangements, guitars and bass, recording engineer, mixing, artwork concept
Mike Levesque - drums
Tom Appleman - bass on "Space Age Tragedy"
John Escobar - recording engineer (drums), audio editing
Carlos Valenzuela - artwork
Teodora Hristov - graphic design
Scott Craggs - Mastering

Produced by Boyan Hristov (ASCAP) © ℗ 2015
