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:
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!
Sovietwave surf act 'Volny Sovetov' is paying a tribute to the great Russian psychedelic punk Yegor Letov and his band 'Grazhdanskaya Oborona' covering a song 'Nas Mnogo' ('We are the Multitudes'). The footage was taken during a road trip through Kyrgyzstan, a former soviet republic. 'Nas Mnogo' is a second single from the forthcoming album 'Reverb Science', so stay tuned and enjoy the video!
Insect Surfers released "Infra Green" in 2013 as a single LP, with a download card for the songs that couldn't be fit onto one record.
BUT NOW !!!!
We present "Infra Green" as it was ORIGINALLY intended, ALL 15 songs on TWO clear green LPs!!

Mahalo!
We have found our way back on to streaming platforms. For all you kids who like your streaming services, we did it! Our two most recent albums are available and more will be added over time. We have entered the modern age of music consumption.
Reverb, set, stream!
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
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!!!
Four new songs recorded in our rehearsal studio a month back. We hope you like it.
