Del-Vipers, The – Terror of the Del-Vipers [TX Surf Instrumental RED VINYL] – New LP

10th anniversary pressing!  First vinyl offering (originally released on CD and cassette), debut long-player from this still-active Austin outfit, the band blasting through 15 surf-rock bangers, focusing almost completely on the fast-rockin stompers, slight excursions into the freakout sounds, concluding with a bonus track not featured on the tape or streaming--their cover of The Ventures' "Bumble Bee Twist (The Wasp)"

The Del-Vipers originally hit the Austin, TX scene during the belly scorching summer of 2010. Guitarist Ross Ott and drummer Sam Rich having left their full time touring schedules in previous musical endeavors were looking for something to push creativity to new levels while, you know, having a few beers. Original bassist Derek "Spooky Vam Peers" Miller completed the bill and together they took their love for a time when rock n' roll was fresh and exciting... to the beach! Influenced heavily by original guitar megaliths like Dick Dale and The Ventures as well as the more obscure underbelly of the genre and a propensity for the WEIRD, The Del-Vipers bathed themselves in reverb and hit the streets of Austin, playing everywhere from the historical Continental Club to annual bashes at the Texas State Drag Racing Championships, the 3-piece continued their wet & wild journey into the hearts & loins of surf lovers worldwide. With new bass wrangler Dave “Cheeseburger Breakfast” Hawkins onboard, the band hit the studio for a single day in January ’14 to lay to tape what would become their compelling debut record, “Terror of the Del-Vipers”. The band self-released a “Limited Cassette” version of the album later that year.  Now 10 years later, we finally have the songs pressed in vinyl!
