"The band meshes the three musical styles mentioned in their name with a bit of lounge, Hawaiian, cha-cha and Latin music thrown in for good measure. Their ability to blend these styles into classic surf covers has given them a memorable sound that separates them from the rest of the instrumental surf pack. Check out 'Hillbilly Pipeline,' 'Soul Penetration' and especially the slow tempo version of 'Miserlou,' and you'll see what I mean. But the instrumental trio really shines brightest with its original compositions, especially the hot rod/surf sizzler 'Maelstrom.'"

"Hillbilly Soul Surfers guitarist Sherman LeRoi wrestles a drool-worthy array of retrophilic gear, including a Guitorgan, a plastic Hagstrom, all the right Fender amps, plus stand alone reverb units and a Leslie. He knows how to use it - the L.A. combo's debut, Hot Damn BoBo, is a pornocopia of sexy period tones, all glistening with honest low wattage amp sweat. LeRoi and company live up to their name, adding rockablilly and '60s Memphis soul seasonings to the surf stew. They rely heavily on familiar cover tunes but freshen them with clever stylistic shell games, tearing through a rockabilly-fueled 'Pipeline' with Cliff Gallup panache and reinventing 'Penetration' as Steve Cropper and the MG's might have played it."
