The Surfaris -- Wipe Out
Not exactly the best Surf Rock band, but nonetheless a essential group for the genre. As an album, an entire record of mediocre instrumental Surf tracks with some god awful covers can be a hard pill to swallow. Being vocaless and restrained to one style, there isn't much diversity to explore, although The Surfaris aren't the best example, maybe I'd be singing a different tune (he ..he) if this were one of the Del-Fi acts -- but I'm not so suck it up! Funny footnote story, and I'm sure you have one very similar. There was this kid in grade school, his claim to fame was he could play the drum bit from Wipe Out. I remember the first time the whole class saw him in action, executing the drum solo just like the song, he became the school yard God .... well for about a week, until something else came up ....
