When the hell was GO!GO! a surf rock band?

Also, you should add this to the Rock'n'Roll channel as well.

In the first albums. It was just an (heavy) influence. I'll post one of their first video later, and you'll see

No, I'm very very familiar with their entire discography, and while there are definitely a few moments, like the solo of this song, that have an interesting surf rock influence to the sound, they never realy were surf rock.

I was only talking about influences (as in Aa Seishun). But you are right : Go!Go!7188 isn't a surf rock band even if "it" is commonly (wrongly) said.

Btw, I think we're agree about the fact that they are talented

lol, about the most surf-rocky thing about aa seisyun is just the fact that the video is shot on a beach, though Yuu does like doing those old-school surf rock things like at the beginning of this one's solo (hell, the whole solo in manatsu no dance hall is pretty surf rock, lol), but yeah, definitely a talaneted band. I tried sifting the aoi kiretsu PV a while back, hope this one makes it out of the queue.

Discarding this video. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 4 days.
