The Angry Red Planet - "Captain... The Klingons Have Surrounded Uranus!" CD (Sharawaji) 

The latest release from this Canadian combo is a quick 8-song blast of surf punk goodness, influenced by b-movies and random bits of pop-culture. Twangy guitars and cheesy vintage organ battle throughout to gain prominence over the driving punk punch of the drums and bass. Of course, with a band name and album title like these you’ll hear some theremin and movie samples as well. What you might not expect are little bits of guitar work that sound like the late Eddie Van Halen, as well as the sitar-tinged sounds on the cleverly titled “Geosynchronous Orbituary”.. However, despite all of the various influences, this is still what you’d firmly classify as a surf-influenced, instrumental rock album. 

Tracks: Captain... The Klingons Have Surrounded Uranus - My Organ (intro) Trailer Park Rendezvous - The Crawling Eye - Ghost Train - Private Eye - The Abyssal Ass Fish - Desert Winds - Geosynchronous Orbituary.
