I second Brian's breakdown of the waves of surf music. Although some of the
third wave bands might be mentioned. Slacktone and The Fathoms represent two of
the best polar opposites of the third wave, modern vs. trad.
If you look at Phil Dirt's website, you'll find purdy much all the bands of all
the waves.

You'll get a bunch of different answers, but I generally think it goes
like this:
1st Wave: All the original 60's stuff
2nd Wave: 80's revival - Jon & The Nightriders, Halibuts, Surf
Raiders, Paul Johnson returns to surf, South Bay Reunion '86
3rd Wave: 90's explosion; lots of interest due to Pulp Fiction
I tend to think we are still in the 3rd Wave...there really hasn't
been an upswing to justify a 4th Wave, and things seem to be
sustaining themselves after a drop off in the late 90's.
