Man Or Astro-man? - What Remains Inside A Black Hole (1997)

Man Or Astro-man - What Remains Inside A Black Hole


This album contains one of my favorite covers of The Bel-Airs tune "Squad Car," which is a classic song covered by many, many surf rock bands. If surf music for the most part bores you and you want something with a little more kick, a little more grime and dirt-- this band should do the trick. It's got the great basslines and echoing guitar you'd expect and hopefully want from surf rock music, but it has that spit-shine of sleaze, the way Motörhead adds to rock and metal.

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet - Sport Fishin' Accessories (1993)

Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet - Sport Fishin' Accessories

Canadian surf rock trio Shadowy Men From A Shadowy Planet put this promotional-only 5-track mini CD out in 1993 before releasing Sport Fishin': The Lure Of The Bait, The Luck Of The Hook the same year. Best known for providing the opening theme music to "Kids In The Hall," the Canadian sketch comedy show that was reminiscent to "Monty Python's Flying Circus" but far more perverted and gay (and in some ways, rivaling in humor or even funnier). "Having An Average Weekend" is their all-time greatest and biggest hit, but personally I find that "Plastics For 500, Bob" is almost as good; it's faster, catchy and you can see the frantic surfer struggling to keep balance when you crank this song up before he wipes out. Many of their songs were used as interludes between sketches on "Kids In The Hall," this song being one of them. "Having An Average Weekend '78" is the band parodying themselves, putting out a heavily distorted, almost stoner-rock version of the song by the same name. Enjoy this and I will upload a full-length by them soon. They formed in 1984, won a Juno in 1992 (the Canadian equivalent to the Grammys), broke up in 1996 and their bassist, Reid Diamond, died in 2001. Easily one of the best surf rock bands there ever was, as out-of-place-and-time as they were.
