The Trashmen - Surfin Bird

Review by Lizz Brazen

Surfin Bird by Trashmen is a classic rock and roll album that is sure to get your toes tapping and your head bopping. The album is full of catchy tunes that are perfect for a summer day at the beach or a road trip with friends.

The standout track on the album is, of course, "Surfin Bird," which became a massive hit in 1963. The song is a perfect example of the Trashmen's surf rock sound, with its driving beat, catchy guitar riffs, and memorable lyrics.

But the album is more than just "Surfin Bird." Tracks like "King of the Surf" and "Bird Bath" are also great examples of the Trashmen's surf rock style. The band's energy and enthusiasm are infectious, and it's impossible not to get caught up in the fun.

An unexpectedly impressive surf rock outing from the band best known for the novelty hit title track. Though a few throwaways are present, most are energetic rockers highlighted by some fantastic surf guitar playing, including the best version of "Miserlou" this side of Dick Dale.
