THE PRIMITIVE FINKS - HORROR PARTY STOMP

9/1/2018

In our never-to-early-for-Halloween front page post, yesterday, we mentioned the 2017 EP from The Primitive Finks. What we DIDN'T mention is that you can download the title track, "Horror Party Stomp", FREE via ReverbNation. Well......you can!

The Primitive Finks are a Surf Guitar instrumental group from New Jersey and they put on a hell of a live show. Like Los Straitjackets, the members of The Primitive Finks wear masks...or maybe green is just their natural color (it is New Jersey, after all). Unlike Los Straitjackets, their music seems bent on Horror (a sub-genre of Surf and several other genres). I guess when you're green, that's how you gotta do (I hear it's not easy being green). Ostensibly a trio, they really need to adopt the keyboard guy because they really cook when he joins in.

If you're interested in the vinyl EP of "Horror Party Stomp", you can pick it up from Double Crown. Meantime, grab the free download and check out this video of the digital bonus track, "The Keep". Consider this an early Halloween treat. The tricks will come later. Muahahaha!

LOOP LINE - CHRISTMAS IN JULY (IN DECEMBER)

12/7/2016

We've had some great Surf oriented stuff this year, what with Wonderlux and Double Crown's 4th, and some strays, here and there. Here's a nice vocal tune to throw into the mix (more Beach Boys or Jan & Dean than Ventures).

Loop Line is the Minnesota/Arizona Indie Rock band that likes to drop off a Christmas song almost every year. The internets make such a collaboration possible. I think I first learned of them with the 2014 Dream Pop single, "Lights On The Tree". Then, last year, they blew us all away with the Power Poppy "Christmas In Space". But I don't know that I was aware of the 2012 single, "We Know Santa's Real"/"I Want A Surfboard (For Christmas)", which is roughly in the same Surf Rock vein as this year's tune, "Christmas In July (In December)". They're all free, so there's no time like the Christmas present to catch up at Bandcamp.

Never been to Arizona, personally. But I did spend a couple of weeks in Minneapolis in July of Godonlyknows what year. And, trust me, there's no surf, sun and sand in Minneapolis in December. Nor even July, really. Minneapolis is a very cool city. But its a very cool city, if you catch my snow drift. Just sayin'. Because of their annual heaps of snow, Minneapolis has actually developed a city where, for the most part, you can get where you need to go without ever going outside. Everything, in the downtown district I was in, is connected. Loved that about the place. Anyway, grab "Christmas In July (In December)" from Loop Line and enjoy.
