Description

Australia's The Earthquakes make their international vinyl debut with Tentacles, a thunderous collection of reverb-drenched instrumentals that showcases one of the most exciting modern surf bands emerging today.

From the explosive title track and the high-octane charge of "Highball!" to the noir atmosphere of "Beware The Quiet Man" and the haunting melodies of "Waiting For Kismet," Tentacles moves effortlessly between classic surf traditions and cinematic storytelling. Every track is packed with sharp songwriting, powerful performances, and the kind of guitar work that demands repeat listens.

Fans of the band's acclaimed debut EP already know what makes The Earthquakes special. Tentacles takes everything that worked on their EP in 2024 and pushes it further. Bigger hooks, stronger arrangements, deeper atmosphere, and an unmistakable sense of momentum from start to finish.

Pressed on Squid Ink colored vinyl and limited to just 250 copies, this edition marks the first time The Earthquakes have been available on vinyl outside of Australia and represents another exciting addition to the growing international surf underground.

Why We Carry It

We were fans of The Earthquakes long before we ever discussed working together. Their debut EP immediately caught our attention, and Tentacles only confirmed what we already suspected: this band is something special.

The Earthquakes understand that great surf music is about more than reverb. It's about melody, dynamics, atmosphere, and memorable songwriting. Tentacles delivers all of it. We're proud to help bring this incredible album to listeners around the world through its first international vinyl pressing.
