• Lyhyt kuvaus 22-track retrospective album by one of the most original, interesting and rockin’ instrumental surf bands of the 1990’s. The Sir Finks originated in Corpus Christi, Texas - a somewhat sleepy little Texas town on the Gulf of Mexico and on the way to no-where. The band was started by skateboarding buddies Mike Guerrero (guitar) and Jason Gentry (bass) who enlisted roommate Ruben Garza on drums to start jamming to instro tunes from surf LPs scored at thrift stores and flea markets. Early influences ranged from bands like surf punk pioneers, Agent Orange to The Ventures, Link Wray, Davie Allan and the Arrows, the Surf Teens, The Astronauts, Dick Dale, and assorted Del-Fi groups gleaned from scratchy compilations. Eventually they enlisted wonder boy drummer extraordinaire Damien Llanes who consolidated the lineup for most of the band’s lifespan. They fine-tuned their sound and moved to Austin. The Sir Finks played often during the mid-90’s with surf and garage bands like Jackie and the Cedrics, Sons of Hercules etc etc Around this time they caught the eye of local indie label Wildebeest Records, who released most of the tracks within this compilation. Together, they released a few 7” singles, some compilation tracks, and ultimately their full-length album - “Instrumentals in the Key of Boss.” It was comprised of some of their strongest original tunes and a few of their favorite covers which were standards from their killer live show. And what you have here is 15 fantastic original songs and 7 choice covers including one the best versions of the Yardbirds’ classic ’Heart Full of Soul’ with a mean fuzz-guitar that could give even Davie Allan a run for his money! Another nugget is the instrumental version of Nancy Sinatra’s hit ’These Boots Are Made for Walking’ that totally rules! But hey, less turf and more surf. just listen to this!!
