KFJC's Phil Dirt
Trad surf with a punk
attitude. Dutch surfers with incredible energy, radical speed.
PERCOLATOR STOMP: There's no Sterno needed to percolate the coffee
bubba, just a few seconds of "Percolator Stomp." Excellent,
thick, and very powerful. EL TORTURA: "El Tortura"
defines surf sludge! It's huge, lumbering, intense, majorly dark
and mean. Riff surf a la Link Wray at Waimea.Thunder, monster
tubes, and pure evil.

Two moody, Dick Dale
inspired surfinstrumentals. Both songs are good, but lately Ive
started to lose my patience with the sheer number of surfbands
getting stuff released, it just never ends. Does Billy Childish
have something to do with this?

Belgian simian instrumental
rock at it's finest. This 45 doesn't have a b-side. It's divided
into SideA and Side1, Neither one plays second fiddle to nobodys
nothin.

Just who are these
Apemen? They are four Dutch wildmen whove watched too much
60s American TV and listened to too many Surfers albums,
that who. Percolator Stomp opens and closes with
the sound of an old coffee pot gurgling and is one piping hot
example of how the Europeans are becoming just as adept as their
American counterparts in making great surf music. El tortura
is like listening to a dominatrix whip a gremmie out on muscle
beach, it screams!
