Hailing from the wintry heartland of Minneapolis, the Trashmen achieved cult immortality with a passel of landlocked surf anthems and reckless garage-rock gems, best exemplifed by their immortal anthem "Surfn' Bird," two and a half minutes of inspired, unhinged mayhem that's never been equaled. But "Surfn' Bird" is just the tip of the iceberg of the 1964 album that bears the song's name.
The only longplayer that the band released during their original lifespan, Surfn' Bird demonstrates that the Trashmen were no novelty act or one-hit wonder, but a brilliant, original outft who fltered their R&B and surf infuences through their own cheerfully demented sensibility to make some of their era's most reckless, uninhibited rock 'n' roll.
