Surfer Blood is an American indie rock band hailing from West Palm Beach, Florida. Currently signed to Kanine Records, they were previously signed to Joyful Noise Recordings and Warner Bros. Records. The band consists of *John Paul Pitts* on lead vocals and guitars, *Tyler Schwarz* on drums, *Mike McCleary* on guitars and backing vocals, and *Lindsey Mills* on bass and backing vocals.

With a sound that combines elements of surf rock, pop punk, and lo-fi indie rock, Surfer Blood has garnered a dedicated following since their formation in 2009. Drawing inspiration from bands like Girls, Real Estate, Cloud Nothings, and Smith Westerns among others.

Their music is characterized by catchy melodies, energetic guitar riffs, and introspective lyrics. Surfer Blood's discography includes albums such as "Astro Coast," "Pythons," "1000 Palms," and "Snowdonia." They have toured extensively across the United States and internationally.

Surfer Blood are one of the best young indie-rock bands around, and their fourth album, Snowdonia, is their most ambitious effort yet. Overcoming adversity, the band has artistically grown and thrived. Following the departure of bassist Kevin Williams and guitarist Thomas Fekete (tragically lost to cancer in May), singer / guitarist John Paul Pitts and drummer Tyler Schwarz have rebuilt a talented lineup with guitarist Michael McCleary and bassist Lindsey Mills, all four alumni of the same high school in West Palm Beach, Florida. Pitts wrote specifically with the new band's talents in mind: "When I was writing I was thinking more about background vocals and harmonies. Lindsey and Michael are great singers, and I really wanted that to show in the songs. There are layers of vocals on almost every track, and the call-and-response parts between Lindsey and I are something totally new." Along with plenty of Surfer Blood's signature hooks, the band concocted some epic and more complex songs with enormous attention to sonic detail. Pitts wrote and mixed the album alone, for the first time since their debut Astro Coast. The immediacy is intoxicating and the musical and lyrical results are fantastic. Surfer Blood get better and better with each album, and we're sure they'll be making great records for years to come.LP - Black Vinyl with Download.LP+ - White Vinyl with Download.
