Banshee Beach

Wow it's been a little while. I'm still a little rough about keeping up with this regularly but, today i'm going to flood you with about 4 or 5 releases of the same theme. After sleeping on the amino acids for so long and finally catching them this weekend all i've been listening to is instrumental surf rock influenced music. So get your mummy , watch out for the creature in the water , and see frankenstein hang ten ripping up those waves while we have a raging monster beach party!

First and Second Up:



Artist: The Ghastly Ones
Album: A Haunting We Will Go-Go

Artist: The Ghastly Ones
Album: Target: Draculon
http://www.mediafire.com/?8dbim1rn9yd

The ghastly ones has been one of my favorite bands since about the time i was 14 or so. I bought a compilation rob zombie put out on his short lived zombie a-go-go records called halloween hootenanny featuring all spooky influenced surf rock bands. This band sounds like they should have been playing all the background music for the munsters. Completely instrumental save for a couple of lyric tracks and skits, these record will kept your beach party grooving or you halloween house parties spooky while you're doing the ghastly stomp.

Next:



Artist: Satan's Pilgrims
Album: Creature Feature

Another groovy time can be had with Satan's Pilgrims hailing from portland. Haunting and spooky garage/surf rock that will make you shimmy shiver almost as much as the ghastly ones.

Here Comes Another Your Way:



Artist - The Bomboras
Album - Head Shrinkin' Fun
http://www.mediafire.com/?5izdnyxm2vm

Hailing from southern california, the bomboras will have to tearing up waves, hula hopping, kicking over kid's sand castles, pissing on nearby beachgoers, and just grooving snorkel style on the nearest patch of sand available.

Next:



Artist: Los Straitjackets
Album: Utterly Fantastic...
http://www.mediafire.com/?axrwuboxgjc

Combining the spooktacular sounds of surf rock that we've come to love with their love for lucha liebre, Los Straitjackets come in and hit you with a wicked volleyball spike to the face while putting you in a leg lock.

Here's the one that started it all for me. This comp put out by Rob Zombie on his now defunct Zombie A-GO-GO records was the first surf rock record i'd ever purchased back when i was 14. I'll even put the tracklist up for it, but if the track that rob zombie did with the ghastly ones was what everything rob zombie after white zombie sounded like, i'd be at every show and buying every record.. Too bad he's gone mega downhill in the years.
