Album Notes & Community Reviews

Heavily utilizing a fuzzbox to aggressively mutate traditional instrumental surf rock, 'Apache '65' established Davie Allan as the undisputed 'King of the Fuzz Guitar'. The title track brutally updates the classic Shadows instrumental with a snarly, overdriven biker-movie aesthetic that would soon define Allan's career scoring exploitation films. It serves as a crucial, aggressive bridge between surf music and heavy garage rock.
