The Retroliners are a surf-style instrumental combo whose eclectic blend of vintage guitar tones and modern sonics produces a unique interpretation of dark, angular spy music spiked with pop, punk, twist and twang. Surf Avenue finds the trio continuing down the path they embarked on in their first two CDs "Subway Surfing" and "Raybans, Roadtrips & Reverb". Guitarist Michael Welch dwells in a state of poetic misery, often battling manic fugues and fits of rage. His ex-wives remember him as being moody, menacing... and magnificent. Bassist Mike Beckerman avoids direct sunlight and flash photography. Determined to master telekinesis, he is easily agitated, frequently caffeinated, and secretly wishes he played in Nirvana. Drummer Dave Schreck merges modern drumming techniques with the ancient art of Origami to create a blend that can only be described as: tubular. Living mediocrity to its extreme, Dave is the human embodiment of all that is circadian. Instrumental Guitar (Electric/Surf/Rock), total running time, 49:15 - Retroliners @ iTunes!
