Description

Los Straitjackets take a playful detour into pop culture with Channel Surfing, an EP that puts their signature surf rock spin on some of television’s most iconic theme songs.

From the epic sweep of Game of Thrones to the nostalgic charm of The Andy Griffith Show, the band reimagines familiar melodies through reverb-soaked guitars, driving rhythms, and their unmistakable vintage tone. The release also features themes from Ken Burns’ The Civil War, along with a fun medley blending Dancing with the Stars and Sex and the City.

It is a creative and unexpected concept that still feels right at home in their catalog, showing just how adaptable surf instrumentals can be. Whether cinematic, sentimental, or tongue-in-cheek, each track carries that classic Straitjackets energy.

Pressed as a 12” EP with all tracks on both sides and including a digital download, this is an easy, fun addition to any surf or instrumental collection.

Why We Carry It
