About This: The longest running modern surf-instrumental band on the planet. The Insect Surfers are a modern surf band with a hard rocking edge, not just a re-creation of a ’60s surf band. Originally formed in 1979 in Washington, D.C., they regrouped in Los Angeles after founder David Arnson moved there in 1985. Their guitar-fueled instrumental rock features the stylings of Link Wray and Dick Dale filtered through psychedelia, punk rock, and soundtrack themes. Immerse yourself in the surfadelic sounds of the Insect Surfers.
