Conjuring up a swampy fusion of surf, garage rock, and rockabilly that suggests the Cramps hitting the beach midway through a drunken bender, Guantanamo Baywatch are a trio from Portland, Oregon determined to bring good, trashy fun back to rock & roll. After releasing a self-titled album that quickly went out of print, Guantanamo Baywatch earned a reputation for their manic live shows, gloriously tacky stage wear, and enthusiastically greasy approach to surf music. In 2011, they signed with Portland garage-punk label Dirtnap Records, and the band's first album for Dirtnap, Chest Crawl, appeared in the spring of 2012. ~ Mark Deming
