Self-released in June 1997, the MRS. MOTO album was the end result of much hard work, and represents a definite high-water mark in the band's history! Many positive comments have been directed towards the recording, and despite limited distribution, interest has been encouraging! In every song, SPLASHBACK has strived to infuse the punch of the '90s with the spirit of vintage surf music, reworking classics and writing originals that stand up to repeated listening. At 34 minutes, the 12-song CD affords the listener a selection of tunes that should not disappoint even the most knowledgeable surf music aficionado! From the gentle lapping of the surf at midnight, to the roar of the mid-day waves at Waikiki, this album has something for everyone!

Paying homage to the novice surfer, who isn't even sure which side of the board is up, but who has the drive to get out and try it anyway!

Taking the best parts of the Astronauts' songs, this tune is reworked into a surging and intense romp over the waves!

Meandering and thoughtful excursion into the back roads of a surfer's mind, exploring what was, what is, and what could be.

Powerful, yet delicately handled tribute to the genre, bringing together the many varied styles that have shaped surf music into what it is today.

Lighthearted and uplifting perspective on the anticipation of catching the next kidney-shaking, bone-crunching ultimate wave!

Enjoying the beauty and serenity of the ocean on a quiet moonlit night, reveling in it's natural splendor.

A fresh blues-over-surf treatment of the definitive crying-guitar song from the Santo and Johnny lap-steel team.

Merging of two well-known standards into a very unique arrangement that maintains it's balance and flow through every twist and turn!

Nocturnal visit to the rough and subversive world of extortion, where money is king, and life is cheap!

By slightly slowing the pace and adding extra notes and chords, the Jon and the Nightriders tune is given a larger-than-life feel.

With significant interpretive liberty taken on the Surfari's composition, the resulting urgency is not unlike that of getting to the surf on time!

Very fast, very in-your-face lead guitar tour de force, intermixed with melodic passages to let you catch your breath!

Self-released in November 2000, the CHANGING TIDES album was long-overdue, and had resulted from many, many late nights at the recording studio! Each song was scruitinized for quality, both by itself and within the album context, to make sure that a good balance was maintained throughout. SPLASHBACK has strived to take our music to the next level, where it has become a smooth melding of both traditional and contemporary instrumental rock, with emphasis on our surf roots. At 47 minutes, the 16-song CD will entertain the listener with a selection of tunes that should intrigue even those who feel they have heard everything by everybody!

Hot Curl is all about attitude...he knows how to shoot the curl, kick some butt, and snuggle up to a surf bunny, all before the sun goes down!

This is what Californians refer to as "living on the edge"...first the little tremors, then a big shock, and finally, "peace in the valley".

Take a trip to a far-away land, where mystery and intrigue are only the beginning...the boundaries are only your imagination.

Riding the rails may not be as exciting as riding a wave, but for sheer momentum, it is unstoppable!

Beautifully woven textures of a one-sided love affair, complete with soul-searching moments and ever-shifting moods.

You struggled and worked hard to achieve your goal, only to have it become a fleeting moment of triumph, as someone invariably comes along and does you one better!

The forever search for the next big wave, replete with long periods of waiting.

Grab your board, and let's head out! Where, you say?!? Doesn't matter, let's just go!

We get stuck in our own sandtraps everyday...we just have to constantly work to get back on the green.

Imagine a glass-smooth sea at sunrise, blue skies overhead, and knowing that somewhere beyond the horizon your destiny awaits.

Whether the first wave of the day, or the first of your life, the thrill is undeniable!

The calm of midnight, fused with the pounding surf, delivers a surge to the senses that cannot be described...it must be experienced!

No foolin' around, folks...this wave is not for gremmies!

From the sunset of doo-wop to the dawn of instrumental surf was just enough time to spread this magic over the water.

She's the queen of the street, queen of the night, and you don't stand a chance with her tonight!

Don't get caught out alone at night with one of these creepy-crawlies, lest you become their latest prey!
