You can listen to the full album on Bandcamp, Spotify and Deezer.
On The Phantom Four's Bandcamp page you can order the download for 10 euro, for 5 euro more you will receive the digipack as well (ships on Monday June 16th). The vinyl is due for release on September 20th.
For the first time Ralf Kilauea of the German Kilaueas band and Lorenzo Surfer Joe got together to produce some original surf music! We are talking about a 7" split of 4 tracks, pure surf music fun mood with Lorenzo Surfer Joe on drums and guitars, Ralf on guitars and Tom Kilauea as guest on bass.
The digital release on CDBaby.com and other usual channels is on JUNE 15 while the actual little vinyl record will be available hopefully at the Surfer Joe Summer Festival or the end of the month.
The songs titles are surely funny, but the songs have been produced with serious attention and great great sound! Also these songs will only be available with this EP release exclusively, both Ralf and Lorenzo are not planning to include these tracks in any future albums.
Get ready to spend some more $$$ for surf music! FENDERONI DIAVOLOOOOOOOOOOOO
