SurfMusic.com
The purpose of SurfMusic.com is to compile and maintain a list of Surf Bands from around the world, both current and retired.
The Surf Band list is updated almost daily. Links are checked, added and deleted as necessary involving many hours of work.
Along the way, during my relentless search for Surf Bands throughout the world, I discover Surf Band concerts, cd/record releases and videos
which you can access through my Surfmusic.com Facebook page.
Surf Band List - 2,678 Surf Bands are listed as of February, 2026. It's getting more difficult, as time goes on, to find Surf Bands that aren't already on the list, involving more research. I estimate that about 75% of the bands listed are active, perform live and record cd's and albums.
