Bio
The Penetrators: agents of The Southern Surf Syndicate are on a mission to win the hearts and minds of unsuspecting civilians around the globe to that most glorious and musically pure genre of rock & roll: full-bore, reverb-drenched instrumental surf music with a tinge of spaghetti western for good measure.
What it really all boils down to is one guiding principle: fun. Remember that? Rock & roll was never supposed to be a bummer, watered down or over processed. And through the work of The Penetrators and several other bands you'll hear about on this site, rock & roll is anything BUT a bummer -- in fact, you might use words like "exuberant" or "raucous" or "jubilant" or even, gulp, "beautiful." No kidding!
