The 2004 debut from Maryland surf/punk/garage veterans Monsters From The Surf—nineteen tracks of reverb-soaked surf guitar, garage rock energy, punk attitude, and monster-movie mayhem.
About the Album
Monsters From The Surf is the debut album from Maryland surf/punk/garage band Monsters From The Surf. Originally released independently in 2004, the album blends reverb-soaked surf guitar, garage rock energy, punk attitude, and tongue-in-cheek B-movie humor across nineteen tracks.
The album features eleven original Monsters From The Surf compositions alongside eight inspired covers of surf, garage, and cult-rock favorites. From “Kamehamea,” “Monster From The Surf,” and “National Bohemian” to “Watusi Underground,” the record captures the band’s mix of vintage surf culture, hot rods, beach-party chaos, and monster-movie fun.
Originally issued by Frap-A-Phonic Sound, Monsters From The Surf joined the Big Curve Music catalog in 2022, when the album was reissued and made available digitally and on streaming services.
Available Format
Compact Disc (CD + Digital Copy) — Professionally manufactured CD packaged in a standard jewel case with the original album artwork. Purchase includes a digital copy of the complete nineteen-track album, delivered by email after ordering.
