Today's compilation:
What Surf II
1987
Surf Rock / Surf Punk
Alright, a little bit of history here before we get into this very short and also very good comp that presents surf tunes from both the past and a then-present 1980s. The label that put this release out, the Los Angeles-based Iloki Records, did not always have that name. Prior to that, Iloki was known as What Records, and its biggest claim to fame was that they had put out some seminal LA punk releases in 1977, both The Germs' debut single, Forming, and The Dils' debut, I Hate the Rich.
But label owner Chris Ashford would end up selling the name to a Christian label in Texas called Word Records, and that move would then force him to come up with something else to call his company. At the time, he had found that he was really into instrumental surf music, so he chose the name Iloki, which sounds Hawaiian and reflects the label's own surfy output, but doesn't actually mean anything in Hawaiian itself. What it does refer to, though, is Ashford's own attitude as someone who was running a record label: "I, low-key."
Now, the coastal SoCal 80s had this little indie and punky surf revival scene going on, and Ashford was into both the music that spurred on that revival in the first place as well as the products of that revival movement itself. So, that's what you get on this little 22-minute, 10-song record: straight-up surf stuff from the 60s, like teen and biker flick soundtrack staple Davie Allan & The Arrows; 80s bands covering 60s classics, like The Surf Raiders' take on The Ventures' "Surf Rider" and The Halibuts' rendition of The Lively Ones' "Rawhide (Surf Drums);" and then some 80s surf-punk cuts as well, like the kings of that 80s Cali scene, the OC's own Agent Orange, playing a punkier version of a Dick Dale tune.
Plus, some of these fantastic tracks appear to be exclusives too. The Burglars, a one-off trio that consisted of another LA punk legend, Chemical People frontman Blair Jobe, seem to have contributed the only song that they'd ever recorded: "Run for Your Life." And then there's The Pandoras, an all-female band who were more part of the 60s garage rock revival scene at the time, delivering a cover of an instrumental version of the theme tune from a 1967 racing flick called Thunder Alley.
So, overall, some great Cali surf, surf revival, and surf punk instrumentals all throughout this little 80s LP. And a portion of them appear to be rare gems too 😊.
Highlights:
The Burglars - "Run For Your Life"
The Surfraiders - "Surf Rider"
The Halibuts - "Surf Drums"
The Pandoras - "Thunder Alley"
Agent Orange - "Surfbeat '85"

Featured Album: Salamirecorder & the Hi Fi Phonos - Goods For Conversation
Vienna, Austria’s Salamirecorder & the Hi-Fi Phonos check in with a basket of jams perfect for your backyard summer bash. Surfy psychedelic garage, heavy on the fuzz, that barely contains various ’60s sounds. The 9 tracks roll along with sunshine-y vibes, swampy reverb-soaked guitars, and shimmering vocals with a lo-fi grassroots-DIY sound. For fans of The Gruesomes or Dead Ghosts. Even better if…
