Surf Punks rule, go back to the valley. Ya dig me? Groovy, outta site and dy-no-mite. They were much better live especially with their various props and set pieces like lifeguard towers and water slides. Like a lot of albums coming out at that time (the first Fear & Oingo Boingo just to name a few) the studio debut album was way overproduced. But their live shows and KROQ airplay put them way out in front early and the harder they climb, well you know.....The Horror!!
Surf Punks: Oh No! Not Them Again!
One of the best things about Surf Punks is they were exactly what they said they were. In the late 1970s, the Malibu band aimed to apply the no-frills surfer ideal to punk in the same way the Beach Boys had applied it to rock 'n' roll in the 1960s.
THE HORROR!!
