Surfbort - Selfie

 

  Surfbort are from Brooklyn, feature Dani Miller (vocals), David Head (guitar), Alex Kilgore (guitar) and Sean Powell (drums) and have just released one of 2018's most interesting and most fun albums.

  They'd already caught people's attention with a number of impressive eps and 7"'s (I remember a song (Hippie Vomit Inhaler) from last year's Bort To Death ep going down a storm when I played it on the show) so news of a debut long player was met with high expectations and I think it's definitely a case of them delivering the goods. The album is called Friendship Music and it's available from Cult Records and Fat Possum Records. You can also find it on Bandcamp :  https://surfbort.bandcamp.com/album/friendship-music

  You can get more info, including details of upcoming gigs with Iceage and Black Lips, here : https://www.facebook.com/surf666bort/

  On the subject of gigs, they recently shared a stage with Just Some Punk Songs' favourites Amyl And The Sniffers and if you watch closely when viewing the video at the bottom of this update you'll glimpse an appearence from Amy Taylor.

  So Friendship Music, it's inventive and fresh. Definitely the sort of album that's going to appeal to a wider audience than your typical punk fan. As long as bands are putting out this kind of stuff punk ain't gonna die anytime soon. Just one of many choice cuts, this starts off as a slow burner before transforming into something that'll get the audiences bouncing around. It's called Selfie....
