Biography

Canada's East Coast instro-nuts, URBAN SURF KINGS, play surf music, 1960's style. Think the beach blasts of Dick Dale, the leather jacket rumble of Link Wray, and the biker fuzz of B-movie heroes Davie Allan & the Arrows.

The 13 year old trio features Rev Hank on surf guitar, Crash Flagg on surf bass, and Inky on traps. That's right, no singer, but not to worry...there's always plenty of dancing on and off the stage: the swim, the frug, the watusi, the twist...

URBAN SURF KINGS have 9 releases to date, including their latest reverb meets spaghetti western platter, "Bang Howdy Partner" (released Apr 08). This CD has been charting consistently in the Canadian Campus & Community Radio Top 50 since May. The band even released a 45rpm titled "el Toro!" a while back to capture their surf sound on vinyl (the way it should be!), and plan on releasing another in the fall.

With a fan base that extends around the world (including North & South America, Europe, Asia & Australia), Urban Surf Kings may be the busiest surf band in Canada.
