Ok, you asked for it!

I am biased, as I am not a huge fan of surf....but I am a fellow musician and I have ears....

I like this. The fretless bass sounds real good, and it's not something you normally hear in surf music. The guitar player's tone is really nice as well. The whole thing sounds very clean, and I didn't automatically think it was electronic drums...which is a good thing.

If you lived out here on the west coast, you would have a lot of competition because there are a huge amount of surf bands out here. How is the surf scene in wisconsin? You probably will stand out over there!

Over all, excellent first effort! Good enough that no one would know it's your first effort!

Oh man. That is the coolest review I've ever heard. Thank you so much for that!
The fretless bass was a conscious choice. I wanted to stay in the vain of surf bass, but do something that would stand out from the rest.
And Dave, our guitar player, is a huge tone freak, so he'll be happy that you said that.

As far as the Wisconsin surf scene, as far as I know we are only one of three surf acts.
We have the Exotics and the Revomatics. Both are very good bands and have been around for a long time.
The Exotics I know are very popular and play a lot around the country, including California.

Again Lucas, thank you very much for the comments. You have made my day!
