The Atlantics - The Crusher

Fabulous surf pioneers from Australia,The Atlantics stand before TV cameras while The Crusher wails in the background. Although it is stated that The Shadows were a major influence, The Atlantics were clearly edgier than most other surf groups of their day. This song is simply awesome!

[serpico56]

can you download them playing Hawaii five-o. The best version I ever heard

[surfdude2000]

I can't find it. Got a link?

[buzzard1954]

My mistake. This is just another song called "The Crusher", but not to be confused with the Nova's "Crusher". Killer Atlantic's style as always, and sounds like a section of "War of the Worlds".

[surfdude2000]

Yeah, The Atlantics borrowed a lot of stuff from one song to another. Bombora, The Crusher and War of the Worlds all have similar guitar scales and drum parts. All that aside, what an amazing group for the times!

[buzzard1954]

If I'm not mistaken, this isn't The Crusher (which was by the Novas), this might be a version of the Atlantic's "War of the Worlds".

[surfdude2000]

I believe you're mistaken, but The Atlantics don't have a sample of The Crusher posted, but they do have War of the Worlds, which sounds different to my ears.

cheers -joe-

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR SURF BAND!!!

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST YOUR TONE CONTROLS!!! etc., baby!

[1955petermusic]

@lrd9999 In the case of "The Pacifics", you are right! They were a band from Brisbane.

I don't need extasy anymore

Let's hope man never gets more powerful than this.

[gustavmarie]

The Atlantics had one of the most driving drums of this period

fucking A

@lrd9999 I don't know that it's so strange. The music is too energetic to be called "pacific" and "The Indians" would create all sorts of wrong impressions. "Atlantic" unambiguously refers to an ocean, even if it is one that happens to be on the far side of the world.

Killer Jam!!! It was very creative of the studio crew to blend an oscilloscope screen into the video so the viewers could " see " the soundwaves!

[onionluke]

@onionluke . Yeah the album is called  " stompin' time ".

[onionluke]

I've got this on their second album , I picked it up in Hong Kong on a street stall for two quid , i'ts got teddy bear's picnic stomp and shark bait on it . Blindin' .

[lrd9999]

Seems like a strange name for a band from Australia. "The Pacifics" and "The Indians" must have already been taken.
