Surf rock from New Orleans? You betcher crawfish! Shimmy out to the nearest fire escape and shake your grass skirt to the grimy surf extravaganza that is the Royal Pendletons.
Surf is alive and well in New Orleans. The Royal Pendletons' "Royal Blood Part II" is a full-speed-ahead surf rock explosion that positively hums with the spirit of a hot rock and roll beach party. Wild organ flourishes mix it up with speedboat guitar riffs and splashy drums to make a sound so irresistible you'll be dancing in your beach chair.
The Royal Pendletons contributed three songs to the N.O.-Fi compilation, including "Royal Blood II" and a cover of the 1966 Better Half Dozen classic, "I'm Gonna Leave."
