It's a shagadelic surfin' safari, and The Bomboras have enough potato salad and board wax for everybody. Featuring some salty sax from ex-X greaser Billy Zoom, this disc is shaking from the get-go, covering much of the same dusty pop culture (i.e. beach blanket bingo) turf as our own Surf Trio, though they lack some variation in style. The lead guitar (every surf band's calling card), which alternates between down /dirty and clean/nimble is ferocious throughout, particularly on "The Creeper" (a "Wipe-Out" pilfer) and on the fuzzed-out, Ventures-like whirl, "Pier 13." With the addition of a spicy Farfisa organ for some extra texture (not to mention the occasional sax and harmonica), the sound is full and extra jumpy. Granted, the surf thing is getting cliché, but when it's this basic and bashing, you won't have much to gripe about. --John Chandler

review from Roma.......2000-01-15

Hello music fan - here is 'Alto' from Italia - I return this cd because it was too "hollywood" for me - it sound like nothing like what I expect - i like the lofi of Savage Isles more. I like a lot better the old cd Savage Isle because it sound not so 'hollywood produceri' - for me this is too many people that try to make it like a heavy metal record. I say to sayve the money for "savage island" - there is still some GOOD song on this disc thouhg, i like 'pier 13' and 'the Creeper' is molto molto. the organs is very well played and the fuzz guitars sounds cool. I say this because the records is expensive for me here and I don't like to be dissappoint. ciao!

Too Much Repetition with this disc!.......2000-01-13

I thought that this album was kind of a bummer because after the 3rd track it all sounded the same to me. Yes i admit that the tones are cool but they're songwriting is not anywhere as interesting as other bands of the genre - namely the Untamed Youth, Boss Martians, MOAM, and others. I feel that this album was not sincere in its attempt to do vocals like the aforementioned groups. More like they were forced to try and do them. I do like their album Savage Island a lot as it seems natural - this one does not. ronni

Man those cats can whale!.......1999-05-25

Once I had a listen to these cats I threw my Boss Martian and Phantom Surfer records in the trash. The Bomboras have become the band to watch out for . I can't get enough of sound that will send you into a fuzzed out frenzie!

Generic, Dull, yada, yada, yada..........1999-02-26

I did not hear one good or original thing on this album. It sounds like a bunch of kids experimenting a reverb unit in their garage. The songs are too repetitive and showcases a general lack of musical talent...if you are going to listen to surf music, I recommend the Boss Martians. The best thing this album has going for it is the cover art.
