One of the breakout bands this year at the CMJ conference in New York was the band Surfer Blood from West Palm Beach, Florida. The buzz on the band has gotten pretty heavy pretty quickly; Pitchfork selected this song as one of 2009′s best new songs and music bloggers have been singing the band’s praises for their crunchy, screechy, slightly askew power pop/rock. Surfer Blood sound like a mashup of the Pixies and Weezer which is a pretty good thing by us. This song is from their debut album Astro Coast coming out in January on Kanine Records.
