Surfing USSR: James Bond on mescaline, Surf versions of Eastern Europe folk and anything else they feel like dealing to.Comprising the talents of Greg Malcolm on guitar, Marc Howe on bass and Joe McCallum on drums, Surfing USSR draw upon a diverse range of musical genres in their interpretation of Eastern European Melodies.
Their versions stylistically range from Exotica to bad trip psychedelic freak-outs.
Surfing USSR's authenticity was recently questioned after a media leak revealed that only one band member really surfs however their popularity has not been affected.
