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 23 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 10 releases to date, including their latest, Astro Surf a-Go-Go, the band’s latest full length album, featuring 12 new tracks and one Eddie Angel cover ("Street Cleaner"). The album was recorded live off the floor with minimal overdubs. This release features traditional surf sounds, sci-fi influenced songs, straight ahead surfers, a rockabilly stomper, plenty of reverb, and more.
Astro Surf a-Go-Go is a co-release from Greek label Surf Cookie Records, and Canada’s Reverb Ranch.

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.
