Just as Rocket from the Crypt demonstrated that first-era rock &
roll and classic R&B didn’t sound kitschy if they were attacked
with the right amount of respectful force, RFTC founder and
guitarist John Reis is out to prove that surf music can be
bigger, louder, cooler, and more powerful than most folks imagine
in this collaboration with Minnesota garage punk trio the Blind
Shake. Modern Surf Classics is a fair enough title for this,
given that Reis doesn’t do that much to upend the conventions of
vintage instrumental surf (despite what the Beach Boys may have
led you to believe, surf purists will always insist that it was
an instrumental medium, and surf tunes with vocals were usually
the province of hodads). This is a set of guitar-based
instrumentals in the classic surf style, which means an
aggressive application of reverb, plenty of percussive guitar
picking, and occasional bursts of saxophone while the rhythm
section keeps a steady, simple, but muscular pulse behind them.
Reis plays with a lot more ferocity than Dick Dale on Modern Surf
Classics, but the essential rudiments of this music are very much
the same, and Reis tackles these songs with a minimalist fervor
and a sincere appreciation for just how gnarly a cranked-up
guitar run through a good reverb tank can sound. And the Blind
Shake turned out to be an inspired choice to back up Reis on
these sessions; guitarists Jim and Mike Blaha and drummer Dave
Roper clearly have an affinity for classic surf, and like Reis
they approach this with plenty of strength and tenacity, as well
as an equally important sense of when to lay back and when to hit
fifth gear. Modern Surf Classics plays less like an effort to
move surf music forward than as a fan’s homage to what was great
about its past, but Reis and the Blind Shake don’t just do it
justice, they make it as fun and exciting as it must have sounded
to kids stomping to the Pyramids or the Astronauts back in the
day, and on that level this album is a roaring success.
