Hey Finks! This week's episode of The Surfphony of Derstruction fell under SOCAN tracking period so I decided to make this episode an all Canadian one! I featured surf bands from all over Canada, old and new. I played a very special Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet track, "Autobahn", originally by Kraftwerk!

There are three bands I played of particular importance. First, The Squires! The Squires was Neil Young's very first band, emulating the style of The Shadows and in the track we heard, Sultan, a very "Apache"-esque sound! Second, two bands from Toronto in the '80's, Mark Malibu & The Wasagas and V-Necks. The two tracks I played are all I have ever found of them, besides a couple of pictures on Flickr. Really neat songs!
I played a couple of contemporary surf bands. Check out their myspaces, dig?
The Robots - Oshawa's own!
The Von Drats - We heard a couple of tracks from their new album Dratsylvania, available through their very own website! Thanks to Dave Von Drat for the pack of tracks!
The Reverb Syndicate - They were very kind to send me their two albums, Operation: Jet Set! and Sputnik-A-Go-Go. Click Here for their official website.
