LE Yikes SURF CLUB

"It’s a hodgepodge of sounds with a complicated backstory, but the end result is just staggering with infectious tunes that will keep you humming for days on end. Not every song features the surf and Latino merger, but when it does, there are melodies and hooks that would make even Pixies guitarist Joey Santiago envious."- (New Noise Magazine 2014)

"Nice mix of surf sensibilities (and you thought it was just a clever name) with mid-tempo punk not out of step with early ‘80s beach punk and more modern garage rock, steeped in reverb and catchy hooks." – (Razorcake)

LYSC’s self-titled debut was released in 2012, showcasing jaunty surf reverb with an energetic edge. Tracks like “Ghost Ride the Whip” call to mind a sunset-lit beach, smoking a spliff with pals and watching the waves after a wild punk show. The band’s upcoming full-length, Apocalypsos – recorded by Philly’s Joe Reinhart (Algernon Cadwallader) – promises to expand on that feeling. - (JUMP Magazine 2013)

"Philadelphia’s Le Yikes Surf Club is a new giant amongst the surf punk realms. These guys prove, first and foremost, there’s a beach anywhere you want one to be. Flying off the handle is Le Yikes Surf Club, and riding mad swells is no problem. Shit, these guys are so good, Kelly Slater himself could be a member." - (RVA Magazine)
