EL RAY
This is a totally solid retrospective of this
fine band, with the added bonus of a number of newly released tracks added for
good measure. Recommended, this CD has a large volume of great tracks. Phil Dirt
– Reverb Central (USA)
Copenhagen, Denmark. Not the most likely place for a band to emerge with the
obvious surfing pedigree of El Ray. The band show a versatility of sound and an
ear for catchy, toe tapping melody which takes them beyond the cliches that can
often be associated with the surfing genre. Combining a fresh, modern style with
a healthy nod to the past, «surf with a twist», El Ray have managed to achieve a
new, classic sound.
El Ray are always ready to invite their audience to ride the wild waves of surf
in clubs all over.
Better Surf Than Sorry – it’s time to join the party!
