So, I've only gotten tickets to Friday and Sunday for Pitchfork so far... and I'm trying so hard not to say yes to Saturday, but it's so tempting (in fact, it might be downright necessary to come out for Wolf Parade, Raekwon, and LCD Sound System); plus I definitely want to get a glimpse of Free Energy . Of course, we'll see what happens this weekend, if I encounter a good deal on a Saturday ticket, or if I decide I will actually die if I don't see some of the groups--but I've [...]

There are a lot of band comparisons you can make to Surfer Blood (early Weezer, The Pony's), sitting a bit within the recent noise-rock upsurge in bands like Japandroids and Wavves while putting melody more at the forefront of the overall sound. The guitars have a straightforward rythmic feel that goes well with the minimal rock drum beats.

Vocalist/Guitarist JP Pitts took a few moments to indulge our fantasies last week... [...]

The Dodos estuvieron en Fuel TV y tocaron la canción "Long Form". Los Arctic Monkeys tocaron en la ciudad de Nueva York e hicieron un cover del tema "Last Christmas" de la banda Wham! . Surfer Blood fue a la radio KEXP e hizo su tema "Swim".

manchmal redet man in interviews mit bands auch über andere bands. im fall "surfer blood" bin ich über diesen umstand furchtbar dankbar. torben, ehemaliger sänger der hamburger band peters und seit 2009 gitarrist bei herrenmagazin, verriet mir, dass er beim stöbern im internet auf eine band namens "surfer blood" gestoßen sei und dass er die band empfehlen könne. bei youtube kann man über surfer blood kommentare lesen wie: "like weezer with balls.". ein anderer nutzer antwortet: "weezer? more like vampire weekend playing boston covers." das mag wohl an den kuhglockengeräuschen liegen. auch die beach [...]
