When vocals are part of
the scheme of things, the group sounds nothing like a surf-instro
group. They are punk-rock-garage through and through. On the flip side, it was special when Lombego and his troops decided to go the surf-rock route.
There isn't a sound that can match the incredible power of surf combined with
electrifying rock. This trio is locked in and comes at you with both barrels on
this release.
I have always enjoyed the
diversity of this group, but I must admit that the instro side
is what tickles my fancy. The cuts on this CD are the best I have heard from
this group. Once they get you in a groove with their signature punk-garage
style, a raw and energetic sound reminiscent of the underground punk scene of
the 70s, they switch to what they are best equipped to dish out, monster swells
of surf-rock-instro!
One can't help but wonder
how their instrumental tunes would sound unplugged. They would retain and enhance their impact with a twist.
Lombego's guitar work is
exceptional, and it would easily transition to acoustic without
losing any of its power. Their potential for making an impact acoustically
could pique my curiosity and may do the same for you.
It's time for America to
discover the Lombego Surfers, a band that brings a fresh and unique sound to
the punk, garage, and surf rock genres. Their new CD, Let It
Rip, is a testament to
their musical prowess and a release that should not be missed.
