The Reefriders - Reverb Island CD/LP (Reefrider Records) *****
"Based in Pacifica, California - the Reefriders are a 3-piece combo that releases albums sporadically, but when they do take my word for it - you'll want to drop what you're doing and get it right away. Reverb island is no exception - 13 exquisite recording with a full, powerful sound. The guitar work here is melodic, twangy and has a perfect reverbed sound - the backing bass, drums and occasional sax complete the package. like their previous disc, they not only deliver cool original tunes, you'll also find tasteful interpretation of classics - their take on Los straitjackets' "Pacifica" is absolutely perfect. for that matter, their rendition of Jon & the Nightriders' "Storm Dancer: is pretty amazing as well. It's all matched by beautiful cover artwork - so nice, I'd recommend taking the plunge and getting the vinyl version just so you can have the artwork larger. This disc will reaffirm why surf music is so fun - great melodies, tone and vibe - it just works on so many levels !

Bio
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, the Reefriders have been entertaining music fans throughout the east and west coast with their Reverb-O-Sonic sound. This three-piece instrumental guitar combo serves up quite a collection of surf songs in the style of the classic early 60s bands, as well as the red-hot, scorching sounds of Dick Dale. With their shiny suits and sparkling vintage Fender amplification, the Reefriders take their audience on a joy ride through time... hear the wild tunes as popularized in the movie Pulp Fiction and beach movies everywhere.
