Martin’s new composition, Surf Explosion, is as good as surf music gets. It’s performed in the classic surf style with two guitars, a bass and drums. To me, this is surf music, the way surf music was meant to be played.
My vocabulary of superlatives falls short when describing Surf Explosion. It’s an explosive instrumental surf tune that comes at you with wave after wave of overwhelming sonic strength. It’s a fast-paced ride on a surf rock tsunami. The Herculean power with which the musicians attack their instruments is an awesome thing to hear. We are talking the upper echelons of world-class music and musicianship. Read the full review.

Surf Rock Music
Martin Cilia is one of those guitarists who is able to use a guitar to do anything he wants. ‘Surf Explosion’ is an accurate description of the music. It’s got it all; drenching reverb, driving beat, furious picking, exceptional guitar playing and a really catchy melody that altogether just flat-out shouts, “THIS IS SURF MUSIC!”
