Mark Malibu and The Wasagas

Knock Me Out

(Sharawaji Records)



Big Kahuna Malibu heads up this Dawn Patrol w/tremolo bars, managing both the important business of illustrating sundry aspects of Surf-fretboard angling and the more essential matter of kicks all around, in which gaga go-goer's go native and completely dig the racing-striped, wigged-out moment. 

This is the band's fifth full-length disc, all on the UK's Sharawaji. Members first shot curls from '79 - '82, split the scene temporarily, and resurfaced in 2014 (with all first go-around personnel). Their upsplash into the hodad-hating hullabaloo engendered beach-blanket shenanigans, foamy navigations, and hand-holding, swim-suited couples disappearing down the sand into setting Sol.

Recommended: "Knock Me Out," "Reef Break," "Love in Liverpool," "Night Stalker," "The Swerve," "Pepper Stomp," "Mini Chopper," "Jibbed Again," "Surfer's Cross," "Moonstone Surfer," "On the Way to Warrington"

Videos: "Love in Liverpool" (Official video)   "Pepper Stomp!" (Official video)   live (2:56 2024)
