Del Mar came together in the winter of '06 as way to keep its band members out of direct trouble with the law. 100% DIY and based out of Reno, Nevada, Del Mar hosts Bud on drums from Long Beach and Matt on guitar from other various parts of Southern California.


Inspired by all types of GOOD music, Del Mar holds true to its roots with eclectic and eccentric songs & live performances guaranteed to rock yer pants off.


Playing classic surf tunes and original surf and punk music, Del Mar smoked out the studio with Miguel Happbolt behind the console in December of '07; the 6 song demo saw a very limited release in February of '08. Del Mar's first full-length album After the Quake was recorded at Headway Studios in Garden Grove in October of '08 and was co-produced by Rob Perez and Bert Susanka (Ziggens).
