The Savage New Sound of The Silhouettes

 


These British cats have totally done their research and learned to emulate the early 60's American surf/instro sounds down to a science with top tier playing, cool, moody riffs, plenty of dynamics 'n'starts'n'stops, and tons of the wonderfully obligatory reverb!

This 4 song EP - "Praetorian", "Date Night", "Margarita Meltdown" and "Sandrine" - is packed with tuneful licks and terrific musicianship and these cats would positively do well at gigs like Tiki Oasis, for sure! They have already finished their super-short, 4-gig whirlwind tour of the west coast (I believe that they are doing some recording while on the left side of the continent, as well), but they will be back next year, so keep an eye out for them! They were a blast when I saw them a few days ago! Any surf/instro fans should search this one out!
