Surf Avenue

The Retroliners are a surf-style instrumental combo whose eclectic blend of vintage guitar tones and modern sonics produces a unique interpretation of dark, angular spy music spiked with pop, punk, twist and twang. Subway Surfing, their second album, captures the sinister and seductive contours of urban struggle, conveyed in alluring melodies that never stray far from the classic surf idiom. With intriguing nuances, the Retroliners pay earnest tribute to such notable influences as The Ventures, the Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet, and Los Straitjackets. Demonstrating the enduring appeal of a genre born more than forty years ago, the Retroliners issue forceful testimony to the dynamic world of instrumental rock music.
