Finnish surf studs The Shockwave! have been laying down a kool brand of surf music since 2010.Their 2011 debut album "Death Race" is pretty stout . Hell the album created a whack of interest in the band and as a result of that Double Crown Records signed them up. These kats play a mix of traditional and eleki surf that's very fresh. The band's sophomore album "Contact From Space" shows that this is one serious outfit. We get 13 tracks(including 3 covers) that combine traditional , eleki, and elements of modern surf that hit the spot.The album has a good mix of slow and fast tempo tracks that make for a smooth ride.Highlights include: "
Golden Gambler", "Contact!", "Shock A Go Go" and "Flow Waves". Also you have to give it to a band when they cover a a song like "Take On Me"(yes the song by A-Ha) and make it not just their own but also kinda kool.
Overall this a very strong album that has a very kool vibe that runs through out it .This is a refreshing, sweet and at times a sexy surf ride that will stick with you. Highly Recommended!
