We're nearing the end of April but thankfully there's no end in sight for great music to play on Catching  A Wave! We hear a track from an album by the Aqualads that is celebrating it's 20th anniversary on our Good Time segment. Beth Riley has a deep track from The Beach Boys in her Surf's Up: Beth's Beach Boys Break. Speaking of them, Tears For Fears pays tribute to The Beach Boys and Brian Wilson specifically as our You're The Inspiration segment returns. As always, we'll drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to hear our selection of the week too (The Galaxy Trio)! Plus, hold on to your beach chairs, we've got rockers from Los Dedos, Sant Anna Bay Coconuts, We Love Surf, The Surfaris, Semisonic, JUDODOJO, The Hula Girls, Los Misterios, The Riptide Rats, The Baron Four, The Verbtones, The Sandbanks and Cowabunghouls!
