about

Waxed in 1964 for the Josie label, the Tornadoes’ Bustin’ Surfboards was one of the very first surf LPs released - not to mention one of the best. Home to the splash-smash title track (which later resurfaced in a big way, thanks to its inclusion on the soundtrack to the hit film Pulp Fiction), this reverb-and-sax-drenched classic bridged the gap between the rock ‘n’ roll guitar instrumentals of Duane Eddy and Link Wray and the pure surf styles of the Ventures and Dick Dale.

about

The Tornadoes Redlands, California

Nobody from the tidal wave of surf combos inundating Southern California in the early '60s did it any gnarlier than the Tornadoes, in hot water immediately for titling an early single "Shootin' Beavers."
