"Surf Hoboken"

   It was Jimi Hendrix who strangely intoned more than 35 years ago that"you will never hear surf music again," He was half-right. The Lost Patrol as least proves that you'll never hear surf music in the same way again. Where do three New Jerseyites and a single New Yorker get the right to play surf music? Hard to say, but one earful of the atmospheric twang blasted out by The Lost Patrol and odds are you probably won't care. The group's sound combines not only the twisted, reverb drenched lines favored by The Ventures but also healthy doses of spaghetti-Western intimidation, goth-laden pop and ridiculously catchy lounge leanings." - Ryan Muldoon
