SUPERTONES
Supertones - A Box of Supertones [1991-2020] (18 x CDs)
Emerging from New York City’s underground in the late 1980s, The Supertones, the reverb-rich torchbearers of Surf, have become one of instrumental surf rock’s most enduring and quietly prolific forces. At a time when grunge and alt-rock dominated the coasts, The Supertones doubled down on vintage twang, reverb-drenched tone, and a deep love for early ’60s guitar instrumentals, yet with a bold, cinematic flair that places them closer to the world of pulp novels, spy cinema, and spaghetti westerns than your average surf imitators.
Over three decades, the band has cultivated a loyal cult following while releasing an impressive run of 15 albums between 1991 and 2020. Albums like The Big Wet Twang (1991), Ride the Wild Twang (1994), and Surf Fever 2000 (2001) helped define their early sound, bright, tightly arranged tracks echoing the DNA of Dick Dale, The Ventures, and The Shadows, yet spiked with humor and attitude that’s unmistakably NYC. Later records like Mysto Incognito (2013), Vintage Surf (2016), and Made in Japan (2020) showcase a wider sonic palette, veering into exotica, lounge, tiki noir, and spaghetti surf with gleeful abandon.
Their music is distinctly narrative, songs feel like lost soundtrack cues to imaginary B-films. Whether channeling space-age bachelor pad vibes or desert-standoff duels, The Supertones sculpt every riff with swagger and style. This cinematic approach peaks on albums like Cinema Surf (2004) and The Sweet Ride (2017), which feel like alternate-universe Tarantino scores.
What makes their catalog particularly special is its DIY, hard-to-find nature. Many releases were issued on micro-labels like Golly Gee Records, Surf Music Unlimited, or the band’s own imprint, Supertones Music. Hidden treasures abound, out-of-print CDs, alternate versions, and compilation-only rarities like The Supertones… Are Go! (2002), which gathers early gems and hard-to-find tracks.
For collectors, surf purists, and instrumental heads, The Supertones offer a goldmine, a band that never courted the mainstream but instead built their own wave, and have been surfing it in style ever since. The Supertones remain steadfast purveyors of guitar instrumental joy, a band truly built for the curl.
So, if you’re into surf music that’s raw, cinematic, and soaked in East Coast grit, the Supertones are an easy band to fall for. They didn’t just revive the genre; they reshaped it with attitude. The Supertones have always operated outside the mainstream radar. Their releases are beloved in niche surf circles but haven’t appeared on Billboard or major chart listings. Their legacy lives in the underground, not in numbers, but in reverb-soaked riffs and loyal fans who know where the real waves are. (B)
