OK, so maybe we are more on the same track then I thought. Ivan,
I've talked with Zak alot too, and I think "Flipping the Bird" was
more traditional sounding than "vs. the Doomsday Device" which is a
better album in my opinon. I guess only I know what is too
progressive for my own tastes.
I meant polluted in the same way your bassist meant your ears have
been stripped of their innocence. Yeah, I really don't like much
newer music. Look, when you just got into surf I was about 12 years
old, I've grown up with modern music, and liked it as a kid. But my
tastes have changed. I might not have bought enough newer surf CDs
to be what you would describe as a "surf fan." But I spent hundreds
on the bomboras the treblemakers, etc. I just like older music I
have a huge collection of old Chet Atkins and rockabilly albums.
If you want to hear two of what I consider our worest tracks on our
new album go here "Buddy
and Julius" and "The Saints Wake" you'll also see Zak Izbinsky has
left us comments.
Thanks for the comments on us they mean alot comming from you.
We've really changed alot since you've seen us and hardly play any
of those songs anymore. Hopefully our newer stuff will be creative
enough for the die hard surf fan like yourself, but we are really
into the retro sound and look because there are people our age who
really dig it, and I guess we are targeting them more so because
that's where we are finding our fan base.
