Ah, the Bitch Boys. If you've heard them before, you're nodding your head knowingly. If this is your first exposure, you'll understand what I mean after you've listened. Surf music is a sound, a style, a beat, an energy. It's a music that conveys the motion of the curl without the need for words. You need not live in Balboa to get it. Proof of that lies in this disc. The Bitch Boys are from Slovenia, quite a distance from the California coast. They write and play surf instrumentals with humor and style. They understand the power of the rhythm and attraction of the reverb.
After several releases packed with commanding original music, the Bitch Boys have gone into the vaults to pay homage to the roots of surf. While some of the songs are surf classics, and others obscuros, this is not a collection of covers by any means. Each is completely reinvented in the Bitch Boys style. These tracks display the magic of the Bitch Boys. Each song recalls the golden era of surf instrumentals, but its sound is immediate and current.
With an attractively sparkling sound and energy, the Bitch Boys are about to take over your CD player. Soon, you will be heard to quietly say "ah, the Bitch Boys."

Ride The First Wave Music Review
Customer Ride The First Wave Reviews
Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)
Bitch Boys are on heat These guys are hot !! They can't really be from Slovenia !. This is a 30 track album that absolutely reeks of reverb and wet guitars.
"Banzai Washout", "Sandstorm","Twenty Thousand Leagues","Shockwave" and "Pendleton Surf" will knock your surf sox off but while the wet guitars are happening they throw in such mind boggling paradoxes as "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and the effectively named "Knjazigor V's Phantom of the opera".
If you are an aficionado of the surf music genre this album is a must.Along with The Atlantics from Australia these guys are the greatest. Submitted by Peter B (Sydney. Australia.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
