The Trashmen - Surfin� Bird

'Surfin Bird' is a re-issue of the Trashmen's original 1964 album for Garrett Records packaged in a deluxe rigid digibook package including 9 bonus tracks.The Trashmen shot back into public consciousness when the single 'Surfin' Bird' narrowly missed the number one slot in the UK singles chart in 2010 after a massively successful online movement which arose from the use of the song in an episode of the popular cartoon 'Family Guy'. 'Surfin' Bird' has also been recorded by numerous artists including the Ramones, The Cramps and the thrash metal band Sodom as well as being used in movies and television shows including Stanley Kubrick's' Full Metal Jacket'. This re-issue of the band's only full length album proves however that they were much more than a one hit novelty act.
