A quarter-century later, elementary school buddies Raul Bianchi, Adam Peterson and Geoff Weers, along with bassist Ryan DeMars, who joined in 2000, have forged a unique sound born in the laid-back beach life in their hometown of Santa Cruz, CA.
The Expendablesâ infectious hybrid of ska, surf-rock, punk, reggae and metal can be heard in their latest streaming track, âSurfman Cometh,â a spaghetti-western meets âPipelineâ twang that could easily form the soundtrack to the latest Quentin Tarantino film. The song is the first release from the groupâs new and improved Band Room, their longtime rehearsal space in a 1,100 square foot warehouse and former wine cellar on Coral Street, where Adam Patterson took charge of the final mix to great effect.
