I'm sure everyone is familair with the classic surf style riff, which I'm a huge sucker for, especially when it's used completely out of context, such as in a metal song. Two of my favourite bands, Mr. Bungle and Dog Fashion Disco, utilise them very well from time to time, and I would really like to find some other stuff in either that style, or of the more classic surf style. The only band that I really know however is Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet, so does anyone have more recommendations for me?

 

[ruuk]

Fiend Without a Face (A Brent Hinds project). It's pretty much all Surfabilly

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Would a surf punk band work?

Bonus Escape From New York theme cover

 

[Blackheim]

Ghoul - Psychoplasm from the Splatterthrash album.

 

[Zen_Arcade]

While it doesn't have the surf style riff Beach Fossils has a summer beach/surfy feel to it. It's perfect music for a summer road trip to the beach. It's not exactly what you're looking for, but it might be similar enough that you may enjoy it.

I drown in that melody every time. Feels so good in my ear holes.

That reminds me of another good one

Summer Camp "Better Off Without You" It's less 50s surf jam, more 80s surf jam but it still uses some classic surf bass riffs.

Little Barrie - Surf Hell

 

[Soma]

I don't listen them as much as I used to but metalcore/post-hardcore band Poison the Well had this really sweet 'surf riff' on their track "Cinema" from The Tropic Rot.

I swear there was a Venom song that used a surf-life riff. If knows what it is, post if because now it's bugging me that I can't remember.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The Phantom Surfers

 

[Firehead]

Trentemøller - Silver Surfer, Ghost Rider Go!!!
