Band of the Week: Surfer Blood

Hailing from South Florida and playing the Earl this Saturday, January 3rd, presumingly to prime the general public for their upcoming 3rd full-length release in 2015, Surfer Blood's music is a dreamy kind of surf rock that you feel completely comfortable listening to on dreary winter days. Baby-faced lead singer John Paul Pitts' buttery smooth wistful vocals blend seamlessly with the often melancholy, Smiths like mood the band tends to project.

5 Bands from The South You Should Check Out

Whaleboat

Whaleboat is power pop rock foursome haling from the city of Savannah, GA. Full of cleverly crafted hooks, giant builds, nostalgic lyrics and an overall sound big enough to rival any of the arena rock greats such as U2 or Coldplay. They took nearly all of 2013 off to get their barrings as life and full time jobs can get a bit overwhelming. But as with anything worth doing, you must stick with it and see through until there is nothing left to see. Enjoy this tune below off their latest record Convoys.
