‘Surf rock’ is one style attributed to the band Surfer Blood. Five friends formed the band in 2009: John Paul Pitts, T.J. Schwarz, Thomas Fekete, Brian Black and Marcos Marchesani. Their debut album, Astro Coast, has already received positive reviews and fans are lining up to buy Surfer Blood tickets.

The Astro Coast album included their first single release, Swim, which was immediately noticed by critics. Pitchfork listed the single as the 37th best song of 2009. Originally compared to the bands Weezer and Pavement, they have an upbeat, college-boy freshness to them that the fans love.

Their guitar playing is at once both rough and smooth, with keyboards and percussion moving dynamically in and out, shifting your attention as the focus of the songs shifts. They use distortion within their songs, offset against wavy ‘surf’ rhythms, to build a base for the lyrics that John Paul Pitts slides in on top.

Their sound quality is amazing, especially when you consider that this band is just out of dormitory rooms. Ironically, none of the band mates surf, though they sing about it quite effortlessly. On the song, Harmonix, Pitts sings the falsetto sections with remarkable skill and support. The band also write their own material, which lends a freshness to their entire performance that isn’t always there with groups they have been compared to, including Built To Spill.

Their stock has been rising steadily both in the U.S. and the UK. They have toured in the U.S., as well as performing in Dublin, London, Nottingham, Manchester and Glasgow. Surfer Blood tickets sold quickly in all those venues, surprising perhaps when you consider how new the band are.

A Surfer Blood concert gives you a few hours of raw, fresh talent that hasn’t had to conform yet to the dictates of business or record label demands. Get the tickets now while they are still relatively cheap. Surfer Blood tickets will not likely remain in that category as their fan base and fame is growing quickly. This is a band that should not be missed, with a sound that will have you listening to their tracks several times. There are subtle nuances in their songs, that make you want to pull every last note from your speakers and savour it.
