Aqua Velvets - The Aqua Velvets

...before the big waves

This is the preimere AV album, and it's more than a humble beginning. Even in it's infancy the AVs use imagination and excecute it flawlessly. It's production is somewhat simpler than later landmark albums, but it easily holds its own. A beautiful album, but it only gets better from here! December 18, 2000

the coolest surf cd Ive ever heard

Ive heard alot of the new surf bands, and this one has the most unique and original sound yet. They have taken an old sound and made it seem modern and fresh. I love this album. I play it in the car everyday on the way to my boring job!! Long live surf music!! October 18, 1999

Fabulous Git-Tar Rock & Roll. Buy it.

On the heels of the "surf guitar" revival that followed the release of "Pulp Fiction," lot's of bands that might never have been heard, even on so-called alternative stations, got a teensy bit of airplay. When I heard "Bravado" for the first time I had to call the radio station to find out who played it. The Aquavelvets put a sophisticated polish on the raw energy of Dick Dale & his cohorts like the Revels, Surfaris, Tornados... This album is totally solid, & at its best can stand your hair on end.
