The Riptide Pats are a surf rock trio from Kungsbacka City, Sweden, featuring Gustav Wilhelmsson (guitars), Jocke Olsson (bass), and Fredrik Wallgren (drums). Their full-length debut album, Waves Of Steel, ticks all the boxes of the genre—reverb-heavy, melodic guitars, a driving rhythm, cinematic samples, and catchy hooks, including spaghetti western influences and a chase-movie feel—yet surprises with originality and variety. You get no fewer than fourteen instrumentals with an authentic live atmosphere, energetic, loud, and tight.

Waves Of Steel is out digitally, on CD and vinyl LP, through Green Cookie Records and Ghost Highway Recordings.
