    Press Reviews
    Hit Session.com review of Hurricane Warning- Absolutely the coolest thing I've heard in weeks! "Hurricane Warning" isn't as surf-like as the other Get Wet songs, and this tune might even be considered "groove surf" if such a sound exists. Well, it does now! I love the guitars the most. Get Wet always knows what they're doing, and I always expect a good song out of them. They completed that expectation from me!! This song is dangerous sounding - "Hurricane Warning," no doubt. Download ASAP!! , Phil Dir t (Reverb Central): "This is a very strong CD."Doug Cornell (amp3.com): "Les Fradkin is a true guitar virtuoso. Get Wet have arrived to shake up the world as we know it. Get Wet create exuberant and very catchy music that anyone could love!"Get Wet have c reated a sound that, with a little luck just might change rock music as we have come to know it." Jay Hector (Cowabunga): "Les Fradkin is the mad-scientist of surf and has pushed the envelope in a new direction." Alex Solunac (CFUV-FM):"Surf music has n ever sounded better!" Pipeline Magazine (U.K.): "A mighty dynamic set of surf instros. Fiery biting solos, incredible punch!" Surf Music USA Magazine: "Hi velocity surf...If you are in the market for something different, you need to get this!" Muzikman.co m: "Surf at hyperspeed! Whew, this really cooks!"
