Surf Music

Surf music is a genre typified by its reverb-soaked guitars, steady uptempo beats, and an overall sound that evokes the sensation of carefree days basking in the coastal sun and riding the waves. Emerging in the early 1960s in Southern California, the genre comes in two main forms: instrumental tracks, characterized by twangy, reverberating guitar riffs—inspired by the likes of Duane Eddy—and the vocal surf harmonies of bands such as Jan & Dean, which often featured lyrics about surfing, beaches, and summer romance. Bands like The Surfaris and The Chantays delivered iconic instrumental hits, while groups like The Hondells and The Rip Chords infused pop sensibilities into their music. Surf music's golden era may have been brief, but its influence endures, capturing the spirit of a quintessential American youth culture obsessed with the allure of the ocean.
