Most Influential Artists (and therefore most important) of the 20th Century
Even from their humble new wave beginnings in the DC area, Dave Arnson had and propagated a unique vision of the surf. "Somgs like "Voice Of America," "Up Periscope," "Dorsal Fin," and "Barracade Beach" continue to hold my interest long after most of the new wave has faded into the murk of the eighties. Once relocated to So Cal, he reconstitutred the band from it's exceptional pop roots into a blazing twin lead desert surf and whammy band. Their output is essential surf listening, and they were among the most important and most over looked of the eighties bands, particularly since almost all of the others were revivalists, and they were breaking new ground like the Bay Area surf bands of the next decade.
