The Vivisectors are a garage psychosurf band from the deep Russian underground. They play an instrumental surf style of music which brings to mind monster waves of California and Hawaii. I am not familiar with much surf music outside of Dick Dale and to a lesser degree the Red Elveses but The Vivisectors in my mind, represent the genre very well. The Vivisectors are a guitar heavy surf band (is there any other kind?) that sound fantastic. The song Russki Psycho has a good beat to it and the quality of the song is mixed well. I can imagine hearing this song on a 60's TV show with everyone surfing and getting down to the far out tunes man! This song will help you get swinging and will make you feel the groove!

I joke about the 60's but if you would seriously like to check out a great band who make memorable music, check out The Vivisectors. They make me want to listen to more surf bands and expand my knowledge of the genre. I don't know how many surf bands there are in Russia, and if there is a scene for that style of music there. I didn't know what to expect from a band from Russia who play surf music. It seemed to me like a strange combination but after listening to them they seem like they could seamlessly blend into the California music scene with their playing style.

It is their music on the iuma.com site because at the moment there is no music to download from their official website.
