The Apemen - 7+ Inches Of Love CD With Bonus Tracks

Image

If you follow Double Crown on Facebook you probably already saw this, but we're really stoked to announce the release of "7+ Inches Of Love" by The Apemen. It's a reissue of their popular 2000 release that quickly went out of print. We've added 3 extra live tracks as well as "24 Hours From Tulsa", which featured on the That's New Pussycat compilation CD in Italy (which explains the "+" in the CD title).

The physical CD release will be followed by digital release for the first time. The whole CD has been remastered for the best sound quality possible for these tracks.

Tracks: Bajjad - Crunch - Invasion Of The Apemen - Cruisin' - Intoxica - El Tortura - Percolator Stomp - Pogo a Gogo - Toronado - Surf Dracula (45 version) - Baha-Ree-Ba - When Johnny Comes Wreckin' Home - Shake Your Hoover (alternate) - Squad Car - Het Grote Surffeest (live at KFJC) - Miserlou (live at KFJC) - Queen Jacula (live) - Cor Steijn Rides The Wild (live) - Toronado/Bongo Bongo (live) - 24 Hours From Tulsa

ORDER NOW!

Through the end of February you can get this fine disc for a buck off the standard retail price!

Mega-Tones (megatons) is a band South of Mexico City taking their training in mid-2012 (June) being of the few instrumental bands charged science fiction that currently exist in Mexico, making the sound remembrance experimental space, garage, and rock.

Just seven days of launching the second track is scheduled Ibero 90.9 FM in one of the most important stations nationwide in Mexico UILI Damage (LOS ESQUZITOS leader, one of the most important bands in the scene instrumental-surf in Mexico) has shown interest and confidence band before announcing good for future projects including them in his radio program, now Mega-tones being part of the programming in RAW POWER 90.9FM IBERO as Mexican band playing between groups such as Sonic Youth, Nofx, La Polla Records, Holy Cobras, Carbonas, Cause for Alarm, Youth Brigade among others.

Beachcombovers From Boston

Tommy White from the Boston-based surf rock band "The Beachcombovers" here. I just wanted to check in and let you know about our thriving little surf music scene out here in New England. We've got some great bands out here including Tsunami of Sound, The Spytones, The Derangers, Matt Heaton and the Electric Heaters and the Fathoms. While our surf scene will never match the West Coast, kiteboarding just came to my neighborhood and it adds a lot of potential for excitement. So here's a little video for you to check out. Air temperature that day - 45 degrees, wind speed approx 25mph.

No Smoking on Board - Portuguese surf band

When I read the name I didn´t figure it to be a name for a surf band.

When I read the label for their debut cd "Reverb or Bust" it became interesting and the name of the cd "Boards and Bikinis" was most promising.

The cd was recorded in Porto - Portugal in May 2011 and released in 2012.

It´s a combination of instrumentals and vocals, some covers and many own songs.

Bikini Drag (Pyramids), Run Mustang Run (own), 10 Waves of Bad Surf (own) and "The Sound of the Surf Guitar (adaption of Dick Dale´s King of the Surf Guitar) are my picks.

Shark Reef and The Haunted Wind can be heard or seen on their homepage:

www.nosmokeonboard.com

If you listen carefully you´ll hear licks by The Fendermen, Trashmen etc. The vocals remind me of Walter Egan´s group  The Malibooz.

Nice beach rock - pop and surf from Southern Europe!!
