Announcing the 2024 SurfGuitar101 MP3 Compilation!

I am pleased to announce the SurfGuitar101 2024 MP3 Compilation! Our 20th one! Just like before, this is a way for members to share music, recording tips, and to just have fun. The main emphasis is fun, so please send in an entry no matter what your skill level is. Here are the rules:

  1. You must be a member of this website to submit an mp3.
  2. You may submit only 1 mp3.
  3. The mp3 you submit must not have appeared on any "official" release before. Likewise, please don't submit anything that is destined for an official release in the future.
  4. The file must be in mp3 format and less than 8 MB in size.
  5. There is a good chance the comp will end up on Archive.org. Therefore, you must agree to their Creative Commons (Attribution, Non-Commercial, No-Derivatives) License for your mp3.
  6. Due to our late start, the deadline for submitting an mp3 is Friday, March 14th, 2025.

Please use the comment thread for this news story to discuss the compilation and to get information on how to submit an mp3. Please also use that thread if you'd like to find a fellow member to work with on the project. With the magic of digital recording and the Internet, remote collaborations are possible. Make your own virtual surf band!

Please check out our prior compilations by using the links in the bottom left sidebar of the desktop version of our site.

Let the comp begin!

The Spiratones – Crooked Waeve / Heartbeat in Retreat

The Spiratones return with a deliciously intriguing odd-couple pairing on their new double A-side single.

The surf-stained garage rocker, ‘Crooked Waeve’ crashes into view with a pulse quickening immediacy provided by snarling guitar hooks and a propulsive baseline which weave and menace as the song unfolds.

In contrast, ‘Heartbeat in Retreat’ is unapologetically tender. Its hopeful, big-hearted melody, inspired by nascent love after loss, expands exponentially to swell even the darkest of hearts.

Stream from all the usual places or head to Bandcamp Link

March of the Dead Surfers - Halloween single (Agent Octopus)

Our newest Halloween single, March of the Dead Surfers, is out and features two versions! The straight up rockin' surf one and a special "Halloween mix" complete with creaking coffins, haunting bells and more!

March of the Dead Surfers - Bandcamp

Duke, Foo, Andy and others rush to return to the cold and darkly swell on All Hallows Eve. As the lightning crackles, the moon draws forth wicked waves from the deathly depths of the ocean. But the Dead Surfers revel and race throughout the night until daybreak... when they must return to their tombs and wait for their next unearthly stoke.

Joining their macabre clambake as the moon rises is Agent Octopus pointing there reverb soaked amps toward the ravishing sea where the dearly departed surf all night. But at daybreak all vanish. Were the agents real, or just apparitions??!!

Happy Haunting and don't forget to add "The Ghost of Tom Returns" by the agents to your Halloween song mix.

Should be available on Spotify, Apple Tunes, etc. in about a week, so add to your Halloween party playlist and make it a shrieking, shocking shindig!!!
