Surfer blood first came to my attention about a year ago, when I got their single “Swim” on an NME radar mix-tape CD from WH Smiths. I remember it wasn’t a great recording, but the song was catchy, and had quite a 60s feel about it. I recently got hold of the whole record, ‘Astro Coast’, and it’s pretty much shot up into my favorites. Surfer blood combine the 60’s surf rock attitude which you found with bands like the Beach Boys and Jan & Dean, with drums and synthesizers that sound like they could have come from Friendly Fires. A great mix of Indie and Surf Rock that just, gets it right. Other favourites from the album are “Flaoting Vibes” and “Twin Peaks”. x
