Instruments are FUN FUN FUN! The Surfing Henchmen is a four piece instrumental Surf n' Roll orchestra based in the town of Aarhus, Denmark. The Music is a banging inferno of guitar attacks, but is way more laid down than their live shows, wich often has turned in a direction that nobody expected (or even some wanted) The Surfing Henchmen consists of these four retardos: Clayton McKlusky: 6-String Fidel Armstrong: 6-string Barry B. Blakk: 4-String Winston Espinosa: Barrels and ocationally Hank Urfin: Keys/Organ .

Els Surfing Sirles sing to drug-addicts, big boned girls and young punks that are into rumba... they even pervert the Fc Barcelona hymn. It seems complicated, but when you listen to them, it's all very simple. It's garage. It's rock'n'roll. The band is formed by Martí Sales (vocals...

These mental surfers are not playing uncooked, conventional surf music, but, to keep it short, a mixture of the best punk and new wave energy plus more traditional surf. That thing that is usually called power pop, with pop, catchy songs played with energy, to which the Lungs add typical surf music elements, like the sound of the guitars, or the vocal arrangements, or, above all, the melodies. They got together at Bracknell, an inner village about 40 kms. from London, at the start of the '80s. Since then, they've been releasing records on different labels. One of their producers...
