♫ Surfer Blood – Swim (To Reach The End)

Does your upcoming film about struggling suburban surf rockers with a penchant for big guitar and minimal fidelity need a song for the montage of them coming up in their local scene as they high-five each other after sweat soaked sets? Well then look no further. Surfer Blood have gone beyond creating a kick ass piece of album art, and a made a kick ass song to go with it. Funny how that works. Like me, you might not be sold on this jam right away but let it it marinate with some headphones and a sprint to the bus and it will click. Or just ride that guitar solo at the one minute mark. Oooh yeah. Their debut, Astro Coast, drops next month but is available for pre-order now and it’s not a bad idea. “Floating Vibes” is my other jam of theirs and sounds just like you think it would, only with more awesome guitars. And then there is “Take It Easy,” (below) a fantastic track that has just tripled my excitement for this album. No surprise that these guys are on tour with Florida neighbors The Drums. I guar-an-tee that will be an epic show. Get on it.
