Canada's East Coast "instro-nuts," Urban Surf Kings features MrMumps on guitar, Crash Flagg on bass, and Inky on drums. Heralding from Halifax, Nova Scotia, the 9-year-old band, with six releases under their belts, combines the surf sounds of the 60's with Atomic Age sci-fi, B-movie Horror, Mancini Mania, and plenty of espresso. Urban Surf Kings have six releases to date.

Urban Surf Kings received a nomination for a Genie Award in 1999, and won the soundtrack award at the Atlantic Film Festival in 1999 for their work on Thom Fitzgerald's "Beefcake." Other soundtrack work includes the theme for the animated series "Wenchell Bogum", Playboy's "Sexxxy Doll" and the short "Giant Cow". Their music appears in the Hawaiian lifestyle television show "Boardstories" and other extreme sports videos. This September, several of Urban Surf Kings' tunes were heard on the new TV series "15-Love."
