Throughout Darling…It’s Too Late, Guantanamo Baywatch melds the careless cavorting of a teenage garage band with the clean twang of a Sun Studios recording and everything-but-the-ukulele tone of Hawaiian music. “Then we were like, ‘Let’s cut it down to like, one dolphin sound.’”
“Originally, there were four or five dolphin sounds,” she starts cautiously like she’s still negotiating. Wiseman, however, harbors other feelings. “If I had my way, there’d be like a thousand sound effects!” he exclaims. Powell loves the fun extra sounds, referring to them as, “nod to old traditional surf rock.

It’s full of gimmicks and sound effects like birdcalls and Flipper squeaks in the opening “Jungle Bride” and swooping whistle toy sounds in the game show theme song mockery “Shennanigans.” Together as Guantanamo Baywatch, they just released their third LP Darling…It’s Too Late last week. Powell, along with bassist Chevelle Wiseman and drummer and Chris Scott, has been playing retro-inspired surf rock since 2010. “Young kids don’t even know what fuck Guantanamo Bay even is. “It’s so funny because it’s so outdated now,” he continues. Powell thought of the amalgamation during a night of debauchery, meshing the name of the American detention on the Cuban island and the lusty 1990s action drama. “But I can’t come up with anything better.” “I’ve been trying to change that fucking band name for the last five years,” he says exasperatedly from the road near Phoenix, Ariz.
Guantanamo Baywatch is undoubtedly one of the most hilariously clever mash-ups for a band name in recent rock ‘n roll history.
