Originally emerging from Brooklyn’s punk scene, SURFBORT has proven that their cult cool energy transcends coasts. Drawing inspiration from the raw power of 1980s punk, they create explosive, feedback-drenched anthems that reject the digital age’s intolerance and celebrate love, inclusion, and friendship. Everyone is welcome in the SURFBORT Freak Family.
The band has performed at Coachella and shared stages with Idles, Wolf Alice, The Garden, The Dickies, Martin Rev, Tijuana Panthers, Fat White Family, and Viagra Boys, among others. Their reputation for authenticity and chaos continues to earn praise from peers and critics alike:
“The high degree of authenticity that permeates every aspect of Surfbort’s work makes the band a distinguishable artistic entity. Live, Surfbort is akin to a stick of dynamite that self-ignites, producing a massive eruption that encapsulates the audience in the most incredible way. The band’s energy feels far from forced; it is raw to the point of being uncontrollably infectious.” - Amplify Magazine
“A machine-gun volley of two-minute shards of sound that pummel you into a giddy mess while flicking two fingers to authority.” - Crack Magazine
“The last (only) New York punk band.” - W Magazine
“The spirit of Bikini Kill, Pussy Galore, Patti Smith, and X.” - The Guardian
It’s no surprise that Julian Casablancas of The Strokes/The Voidz handpicked Surfbort for his label, Cult Records. Legendary rock producer Linda Perry signed them, releasing their album Keep On Truckin’ in October 2021.
As Hollywood Life wrote:
“There probably isn’t a single word in the English language that describes this feeling that Surfbort captures on Keep On Truckin’. It’s like smiling with a fat lip or winking with a black eye - the spirit of perseverance and finding happiness after a beating. This theme runs throughout the album, from ‘Life’s A Joke’ (‘Nothing’s going my way today, but it’s okay’) to the closer ‘Cheap Glue,’ where Dani vows to ‘do anything to help you find a solution’ to a friend’s broken heart.”
Their visual work is equally striking. The video for “FML” stars comedian Fred Armisen (bandleader/drummer for Late Night with Seth Meyers), who plays a do-gooder transforming into each band member to rescue them from depression. Pro skater Lizzie Armanto made her directorial debut and co-starred in the video for “Lot Lizard”
