Los Straitjackets - Viva Los Straitjackets
If you feel like jumping up and dancing every time your hear the classic surf song Wipeout, then this is the album for you. Lost Straitjackets is an award-winning surf band with enough frantic energy to satisfy a dozen bands of its type.
With guitars blazing and drums pounding, Los Straitjackets create highly entertaining music that will make everybody want to start their own surfin' safari. Los Straitjackets can churn out such pure beach songs as Cavalcade and Outta Gear, but they can also add a sense of humor. They take the orchestral sounds of spaghetti westerns and rock them out in Lonely Apache, and they combine the spy world of James Bond with Hawaii Five-O on Espionage.
Los Straitjackets aren't trying to change the world of music or create something entirely new. All they're trying to do is have fun and let everybody ride the wave with them - and they are certainly succeeding. Viva Los Straitjacket, indeed.
