KFJC says:

"This is easily one of the most consistently good compilations I've heard in ages. Great bands recorded well with solid rearranging of standards. Inventive and excellent listening." ---Phil Dirt, KFJC 89.7 FM www.reverbcentral.com

Surf 'n Garage Radio says:

"The last two numbers are played by two bands who are a class of their own. The Thurston Lava Tube...and... San Francisco's very own Aquamarines playing Beyond the Sea. Needless to say that they are masters in reverberated, razor sharp surf music. I mean, they graduated The School of Reverb with a mark A. With their clanging reverbed lead guitar, the shuffling drumbeat (and the drum fills, of course), the walking bass and the echoing rhythm guitar, the title track of the compilation sounds like the ultimate aggregate of bands ... like The Spootnicks or The Shadows. A perfect ending for such a diversified and entertaining instrumental compilation." ---Commandante, Surf 'n Garage Radio, Germany

"...features several well-respected acts such as... San Francisco's own Aquamarines... Let's take a listent from the super-tasty compilation "Big Wave Riders." ---Courier News entertainment editor Bob Makin Listen to the PodCast here... http://c-n.com/specialsections/podcasts/makin/makin010606.htm

CD Baby says:

"Big Wave Riders is a collection of surf and instrumental tracks from around the world. It's more than just a compilation, though. It's a statement. It says that surf music didn't go out with the '60s. It says that surf music is not just a California thing. Instead, it's a worldwide phenomena. We have bands from all over the world, including the U.S., Canada, England, Spain, Germany, Slovenia, Sweden, and Australia, and each band is unique. Each band has its own statement to make - instrumentally. That's right. There are no lyrics, no words whatsoever. This album's a blast! It's great for the car, the boat, the beach, whatever makes you happy. Give it a whirl!" ---CD Baby http://www.cdbaby.com/

The Aquamarines "SCHOOL OF REVERB" CD

Our FIRST STUDIO RECORDING with our new original "My Wonderful Shadow"!

"The Aquamarines SCHOOL OF REVERB CD nailed this old surf lover right to the board. The band's passion is palatable enough to reach across the decades. And done LIVE? My tattered rock critic's cap is off to you: surf music could have no better ambassadors, the Ventures no better envoys."

The Aquamarines School of Reverb Music CD

The Ventures Revisited. Excellent Surf Rock Sound! This sounds quite a bit like what The Ventures might sound like today with today's recording equipment. I really enjoyed this track. This piece of music is Definitely a Masterpiece. The Melody, Hook, and Arrangement couldn't possibly be any better. For The Ventures fans out there...Pay Attention To This Band...cause this is one track that is sure to please. ---Aaron Keenan, The Keenan Brothers, Indiana

Q. Tarantino would be proud. I notice and appreciate modulation in emphasizing the tune. This is original! Full sound, great hooks, and smooth, rocking rhythm. It just keeps on nailing every nuance of the motif. Done with amazing style and confidence. I love this particular brand of rock, and you capture its spirit perfectly. Great work. Promotes "Good Time Had by All. ----Piper Maru, Greyworm, Atlanta, Georgia

Reverb Central's "KFJC Battle Of The Surfing Bands" CD! featuring "Pacifica" by The Aquamarines

History: During the golden age of surf music in Southern California, Los Angeles radio station KFWB held monthly dances for teens featuring local surf bands like The Chantays, The Surfaris, The Bel-Aires and hundreds more. These bands would become known as the fathers of the surf rock sound, recording hits like Wipe Out, Pipeline, Penetration, Mr. Moto and Miserlou. In 1963, Del-Fi Records releases an LP featuring the best bands from the KFWB Battle of the Surf Bands series. Today: Bands continue to create and perform surf music and stations like Los Altos Hills' KFJC continue to play and support the surf sound over the airwaves and internet. KFJC has long been dedicated to instrumental surf music-- DJ Phil Dirt is starting his 21st year as host of "Surf's Up" on Saturday nights from 7-9PM. Though the station is known for it ecclectic playlist, many DJs regularly include surf cuts on their shows. In 2004 KFJC stages its own Battle of the Bands and assembles a fundraiser CD featuring fifteen Bay Area surf bands.
