Ghastly Ones

Hailing from Van Nuys, California these swingin' undertakers took their inspiration from the hopped up sounds of early sixties surf and hotrod outfits like The Lively Ones, Avengers VI, The Del-Aires, New Dimensions and the Fender IV and mixed it with their obsession with late night monster movies, Halloween records and Screaming Lord Sutch to patent their own brand of "spooky surf".
In 1997 The Ghastly Ones recorded their debut album "A-Haunting we will Go-Go", which was released world-wide by Geffen Records.

League

League came together in 2002 in Fredonia, New York. Motivated by the incessant and inevitable passage of time, they immediately committed themselves to the work of an independent band and have not looked back since. For the first year of their existence, they performed at every possible opportunity, determined to spread their music across upstate New York and western Pennsylvania.
That persistence paid off, as their infectiously energetic live shows soon earned them a loyal regional following. By the spring of 2003, League felt ready to expand their geographical reach.

The Razorblades

There are two bands with this name: • The Razorblades are a neo-surf rock band from Wiesbaden, Germany. Founded in 2002 by guitarist Rob Razorblade, the band created a style they call "21st Century Surf," a mixture of twang guitars, punk power and melodies as big as the ocean. Influences range from old school master Dick Dale to Neo-Surf acts like Slacktone and The Mermen. In 2004 and 2005 the band contributed a lot of songs to various samplers and finally found the time to record their...

The Vandelles

The Vandelles are rock n’ roll noir at its finest. Their songs are the perfect soundtrack to rain-slicked city streets at night, and the lust, betrayal and violence that filters through them. The band thrives on layers of fuzz and a wall of reverb-laden guitar noise, and they also harbor a penchant for 60s garage pop melody and surf rock riffs. Those expecting the Vandelles to sound like their Brooklyn contemporaries Vivian Girls or Crystal Stilts would be wrong—they channel a dirtier, scuzzier aesthetic more on par with the Cramps, Suicide, X, or even Link Wray.

The Beat Poets

Formed in 1986 in Glasgow, The Beat Poets released their first records on the legendary Scottish independent label 53rd & 3rd. Those records led to appearing on the BBC TV show FSD - also on the series were Del Amitri, Primal Scream, and the Primevals. For more than 20 years they have marched along the shining path of instrumental rock & roll, gigging with Dick Dale, when their guru finally came to Scotland, working as Alex Chilton's band, when the Dion of the Memphis Mafia came to Glasgow looking for a band who knew Billy Boy Arnold and Otis Redding, and making every gig a party.

Surfin' Lungs

These mental surfers are not playing uncooked, conventional surf music, but, to keep it short, a mixture of the best punk and new wave energy plus more traditional surf. That thing that is usually called power pop, with pop, catchy songs played with energy, to which the Lungs add typical surf music elements, like the sound of the guitars, or the vocal arrangements, or, above all, the melodies. They got together at Bracknell, an inner village about 40 kms. from London, at the start of the '80s. Since then, they've been releasing records on different labels.
