About Me

Thunderous reverb and intense tremolo picking only scratch the surface of what this Baton Rouge, Louisiana quartet is about. With a background in punk and metal music the group began applying that same energy to the instrumental style of 50s instrumental rock n roll. Often described as breakneck surf-a-billy the band provides an aggressive version of surf rock that is also strongly rooted in thrash, jazz, rockabilly, space rock, and just a little bit of noise. The group originally joined together in the fall of 2004 under the name Shark Attack!, later changing the name to Spring Break Shark Attack! Now after more than 2 years of dominating the Louisiana scene, completely selling out of their debut EP, regular radio airplay, Spring Break Shark Attack! is preparing to yet again unleash another classic with their upcoming album, Sharkronomicon: Dawn Of The Divine Invocation, due out in July of '07.
