COMMENT: MILESAGO: Australasian Music & Popular Culture 1964-1975
Long hailed as Australia's first and greatest surf band, The Atlantics not only spearheaded this musical genre in Australia, but also gained international renown for their superb guitar-based instrumentals. Glenn A. Baker rightly calls them "one of the most extraordinarily talented rock groups Australia has ever produced" and their eclectic output -- most of it written by members of the group -- included powerhouse surf numbers, incendiary garage-punk and even psychedelia.

The Atlantics were (and are) accomplished musicians and composers, one of the most popular live acts of their day and a sought-after backing group for other singers. They were remarkably prolific as recording artists -- during the Sixties they released eighteen Singles under their own name (plus one under a pseudonym), as well as providing backing for vocalists -- including Johnny Rebb and Russ Kruger -- on some twenty other Singles released between 1964 and 1969. Some of these sides some are now almost as sought-after as the group's own recordings.

The Atlantics formed in Sydney during 1961; the original members of the band met at high school in Sydney's eastern suburbs. The Shadows and their legendary lead guitarist Hank B. Marvin were an obvious and strong influence on The Atlantics, as they were on so many other guitar bands and soloists of the late Fifties and early Sixties; American surf pioneers The Ventures were another important inlfuence.

The choice of name, however, was virtually accidental, as Peter Hood recalled in his interview with local surf-music guru Stephen McParland:

"We were walking around one day trying to think up a group name. We went through names such as The Eagles, The Falcons, and The Jet Streams ... you name it. Then we saw a sign -- 'Atlantic Petrol' -- and we thought, 'Well you can't get more publicity than that'.

Through 1961 the group slowly built up a following around Sydney. They pawned almost everything they had to buy their first amplifier, which cost a whopping £235 -- a huge sum for the time. Luckily for teh budding rock stars, by the time their parents found out, it was too late to return it! The group also managed to acquire a complete set of the all-important Fender guitars, intruments which were still comparitively rare in Australia at the time due to trade restrictions and high import duties. Their other equipment included Fender amplifiers and the famous Klempf Echolette tape-echo machine. The group soon became well-known for their adventurous use of sound effects and they experimented constantly to come up with startling new effects.
