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.

The Carefree Theater in West Palm Beach, FL was the only real venue in town for most of John Paul Pitts childhood. It was where he would go for anything from shows to theatrical productions. It was just the kind of exposure that showed him there was a whole world outside of Florida, the kind of experience that would inform a twenty-one year old student to drop out of school and start a band.

He did just that. Surfer Blood’s rise was remarkable – and just recently recounted in detail with the 10 year anniversary of their debut and breakout album Astro Coast. A decade ago. That’s a long time. Where a lot can happen.

Surfer Blood release Carefree Theatre an album that bring them full circle. Pitts returned to Florida, returned to Kanine and created an album worth of short pop songs.
