Surf Punks’ 1982 follow-up Locals Only returns remastered on limited edition ‘Beach Gunk’ vinyl with two bonus tracks and revamped full-colour artwork. A wild, tongue-in-cheek tribute to Malibu beach life, it swaps ’60s surf innocence for ‘80s punk-fueled attitude, lampooning everything from lifeguards to valley kids. Known for their authentic beach lifestyle and chaotic live shows—complete with a lifeguard tower stage set—the band captured the era’s surf culture with irreverent new wave, punk, and surf rock. A vibrant, musically solid snapshot of ‘80s California, Locals Only is a must for fans of Descendents, The Ramones, Agent Orange, and Devo.
