Someday, Diana Nyad will swim all the way from Cuba to Florida - or she'll die trying, going down in a fit of fins and shark teeth and blood and waterproof flashbulbs on some Jaws 3D&n

It's been over a year since West Palm Beach Florida's most hip musical export, Surfer Blood, released their debut album, 'Astro Coast', on Kanine. Since then, the band have been in a near constant state of touring, racking up more air miles than Charles Lindbergh and out-gigging Lady Gaga to earn themselves the accolade of being one of the hardest working acts on the indie rock scene. But hey, a band's got to make a living, and with the real money in live performing these days, Surfer Blood seem determined to consolidate their fan-base by bringing their [...]

Well, the temperature has dropped, the snow is out, Christmas ads have been on the telly for at least 3 months, that can mean only one thing... We're in December and the run up to the new year. The time where every man and his dog start to organise things into lists. Surprisingly enough, I am no different and have done just that... So should you be in the midst of putting your Santa list together and looking for inspiration, I'd heartily [...]
Surfer Blood mines classic 1990s indie rock like golden oldies, and that's a good thing. Surfer Blood's Astro Coast is the first breakthrough indie debut of the new year, thanks to a perfect storm of forces in and out of the young band's own control: Gaining buzz for its precocious revival of old-school indie rock after a tour-de-force showing at last fall's CMJ Music Marathon, the Florida group has ridden the wave of blogosphere word-of-mouth to the top of its class, with glowing write-ups in Pitchfork and Stereogum whetting appetites...

We do love our Surfer Blood around here. The only combination more random than Yoko Ono, Thurston Moore, Bette Midler, and the Scissor Sisters is Gogol Bordello, Regina Spektor, Iggy Pop, and P...

Surfer Blood: "Swim" Holiday Shores: "Phones Don't Feud" Turbo Fruits: "Know Too Much" Stepping into the hype machine is Surfer Blood . Perhaps the best thing of their HIT "Swim" is that instead of careening off on its own experimental fuzzed-off axis, it keeps the guitar melody sharp, allowing the vox to instead be all analog-sounding fuzz. There's of course, a lot of this going on--anywhere from Japandroids to Black Lips to Times New Viking, but for a penchant of fun they throw in that "afro-pop" vibe [...]

Oh I'm really digging this trend that blends noise with pop with surf. The Drums for one! Mwwwaaa! But now we have Surfer Blood. (I'll post about The Sandwitches later.) Surfer Blood's new album, Astro Coast, is worth the effort and expense. Not that there is any. It's $5.00 at Amazon MP3 . Go and get it fool! Here's the video for Swim. This won't be the end of my Surfer Blood postings...
