Sundazed

Sundazed is a US record label founded by Bob Irwin in 1988. They specialize in vinyl reissues of classic albums from the 50s, 60s, and 70s. With all graphic design and mastering work done in-house, Sundazed ensures high-quality releases at affordable prices for customers.

Over the years, Sundazed has collaborated with various cutting and pressing facilities to bring their releases to life. From the early 2000s until the mid-2010s, they worked with renowned engineers such as Greg Calbi and Warren Barnett for cutting records. In recent years, they have partnered with Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio for primary manufacturing.

When it comes to pressing their vinyl records, Sundazed has utilized different facilities depending on the era. From the late 1990s to mid-2000s, they often worked with Stick '1' at Record Technology Incorporated (RTI). In later years, Rainbo Records and Quality Record Pressings were among their trusted partners. Currently, TMP (The Mastering Plant) handles their pressing needs.

The Trashmen are an American surf and garage rock band from Minneapolis, Minnesota. They formed in 1962 and disbanded in 1967 but made a comeback in 1982. The group is best known for their 1963 hit "Surfin' Bird," which was inspired by *a254872*'s songs "The Bird's the Word" and "Papa-Oom-Mow-Mow." Despite their initial disbandment, The Trashmen have continued to make music and perform.

With their energetic sound and catchy tunes, The Trashmen have become icons of the surf rock genre. Their music captures the spirit of the beach culture with its driving guitar riffs and infectious rhythms. Fans of *Dick Dale & His Del-Tones*, *The Surfaris*, *The Ventures*, and other similar artists will find themselves drawn to The Trashmen's unique blend of surf and garage rock.

Since their comeback in 1982, The Trashmen have been delighting audiences with their live performances. Their high-energy shows transport listeners back to the golden age of surf rock, leaving them wanting more. With a discography that spans several decades, this enduring band continues to inspire new generations of fans with their timeless music.

The Trashmen's defining moment, 1963's "Surfin' Bird," is perhaps the ultimate lightning-in-a-bottle record. Their first true studio recording, it captures the group's interminable energy and mastery of live performance. But it also is the culmination of spirit and experiment that turned it into something new and, from the perspective of 50 years, unique. This collection shows them to be variously a first-rate surf band, a great proto-punk outfit, solid rockers with the raw essence of the earliest originators of the sound, and adept enough to work in some comedy and country. This scope of ability and interest is probably the true basis of the band's following now. But "Surfin' Bird" has more tenacity than other bands' entire better-performing catalogs, and with it, the Trashmen created a work that is arguably today the most relevant release from that storied decade.
