February 9th 2013 – “a warp drive cruise through the galaxy”
SurfRockMusic.com wrote a stellar review on our debut album Multivision:
“Multivision is an extraordinary and eclectic instrumental album. It combines various elements of surf, space, punk, hot rod and spaghetti western into an unusually compelling mix of sounds. The interstellar overtones let your imagination run wild. Multivision conjures up the awe and mystery of space.” Read the complete song by song review.

January 8th 2013 - In the year 13…
Due to several (fortunate!) circumstances we haven’t been able to play live for a couple of months, but here at Spaceguards headquarters things are always on the move! Time for an update:
Towards the end of 2012 our debut album MULTIVISION came out, receiving raving reviews all over the world! Two songs from the album, WHALE and STRANGELOVE, were featured in the soundtrack of a Dutch (VPRO) TV documentary. And, as we mentioned earlier, RIO JARA and PLUTO were used in a commercial for Volkswagen.
In the course of this year we will start playing live again. We are planning a small trip to Italy in June… More on this soon!

It looks like we’re getting ourselves a proper European release in October. We are proud to add Germany’s coolest label Kamikaze Records to our distribution network today!
September 9th 2012 – Far-Out Thursdays and Surf Music Sundays
Surprise on Facebook today: Incognito, Independent Music Magazine, California, made our debut album MULTIVISION their Surf Music Sunday selection:
“Spaceguards is a band from Amsterdam that is interesting for a couple reasons. We (obviously) are making it our pick for Surf Music Sunday, but this band also would not be out of place on Far-Out Thursday … The songs on Multivision are surf songs with the tempo and the volume both cranked up to levels that most surf bands don’t approach. If you like surf and punk equally, this band will be a great addition to your collection.”
We couldn’t agree more! Check Facebook for the complete review.
September 3th 2012 – USA release

September 29th 2011 – Upcoming EP
Great news: it is done! We’ve completed the recording sessions for our forthcoming debut EP! We originally intended the release to take place in spring 2011, but we had to deal with some unexpected delays and an acute case of hernia, so we postponed the release and February 2012 is what we are aiming for at the moment.
We’re not sure yet what to name our future firstborn, but we do know it will capture what Spaceguards is all about: the punkrock energy, the surf vibe, the indie feel, the ‘big city’ sound, it’s all there!
We recorded everything in our high-tech studio, deeply hidden within the Amsterdam Spaceguards building. Expect soundsnippets, videoclips and the occasional free download in the weeks to come, so check this site regularly!
September 27th 2011 – Massive Talents
Something we secretely knew from the start, is now made a public fact: Spaceguards are MassiveTalents!

. So if your favourite brand advertises its cool new product with an even cooler surfpunk tune… yes, that’s probably us! But we’ll also settle for the new James Bond tune 
September 6th 2011 – New website!
