The CD "The Curl Rider" by THE CRUNCHER dropped in today.
I wasn't involved in this project which contains 18 tracks (playing time 47 minutes and 59 seconds). A couple of years ago Herbert Kooke (aka The Cruncher) had told me that he wants to record and release a new CD every year as long as he can hold a guitar and play it.
So here is his 10the CD (two vinyl albums are also in his production list of his band!)

Thank you for your time and consideration.
From the high-energy stoke of "Tiki Pop" to the dreamy, sun-soaked vibes of "Sunrise Over the Nile" each song on "Summer by the Beach” paints a vivid sonic portrait of the surf culture lifestyle. Let the music wash over you like a wave, carrying you away to a world where every day feel like a beach day.
If this reaches you in time... Happy Valentines Day! Here is a beautiful love song we decided to cover by Elvis Presley / Duane Eddy. Written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, the song is from the Elvis movie "Loving You" and was the B-side to his hit Teddy Bear. The great Duane Eddy did his version which our version is based on. We made two version. One with a sax and the other Alternate Version with a guitar solo. Share this song with a loved one and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Thanks!

“Melody, Rhythm And Reverb” by The Vicissitones is finally available. Straight from the freezing grey grime of Southeast Michigan comes this album of twelve original instro bangers. The Vicissitones sound is a bit more wide ranging than strictly surf. But what do you expect? You can’t surf the Detroit River. Two guitars, bass, drums and a lot of sax! Recorded live in studio over two days for maximum mid-fi roar!
Available as download or old fashioned compact disc.
