Meet Surfer Blood: they call West Palm Beach home and, while still in their early 20s, have penned an album worth of catchy, summery indie songs that even the most hook-laden power pop band would rightfully be jealous of. Comprised of members JP (dubbed The Mastermind by the rest of the band), TJ, Thomas Brian and Marcos, Surfer Blood met one fateful night at an after party for Miamis Ultra Festival, though they didnt attend the festival itself (We do not like the DnB, they proclaim). After discussing music, what else, for the remainder of the night, JP and TJ decided to recruit the three other guys to perfect a couple of songs they had been working on for some time, and thus, the band was formed.

From their 2010 album: "Astro Coast" We could have been the best of friends. Now I'll never see this place again. So please, please, please, don't wait for me to try and get it together. Please don't wait for me to reappear, cause I'm not here. 'Cause I won't wait around for the grass to grow back now. I won't wait around for your vaults to open, let me in somehow. Why think about it every day, When you could plainly walk away. And I won't wait around, for the ice to thaw out now. I won't wait around for your heart to open, let me in somehow. And I won't fuckin fold, Oh oh, Oh oh For perfection's in your own, I hope. Oh oh. And I won't wait around. Oh oh, Oh oh For you to figure it out.

Swim from 'Astro Coast' by Florida band Surfer Blood, out now on Spunk

Astro Coast Surfer Blood Spunk records Spunk Records

I don't make any claims to own this song or picture. I couldn't find a version on here that wasn't live. LYRICS: Never could Be still for long And I could never hold a job. Coupled with A weakness for cocaine and liquor Not much you can do for love. When I met you, I broke the mold. I fell apart and combed my hair. Whiskey stinks For ten whole days Stayed off the streets at night for weeks. I don't wanna be a catholic pagan Now that you're here. We fell in awe each other for love, Survival, and everything else. Please don't padlock Your parents' bomb shelter, Or fill her up with dust and ash. A landfill mecca For burnouts and whistlers, Adolescent sour mash. I'm not saying That I'm unloved, But I could really use it now. So turn out the lights Over and over and over, We'll figure out the rest somehow. I don't wanna be your rush-in bride, Not anymore. But I could say Apollo would have a field day if he knew at all. Sooo, I have to gooo... Ohhhh, have to goooo...

Surfer Blood are 5 talented young guys from Palm Beach, Florida. AllSaints have been keeping a close eye on them since their CMJ New York shows back in October 2009. Surfer Blood have been busy building a steady buzz in the US before heading over the pond to begin conquering the UK and Europe. We've been supporting Surfer Blood in-store on our playlists for sometime now. AllSaints invited them down to the Basement Sessions on a snowy London night in late December, where they recorded three alternative versions from their critically acclaimed album "Astro Coast". The session speaks for itself showing the Surfer Blood boys are more than competent musicians and these intimate exclusive versions bring to the surface the more beautiful and catchy alt/pop song writing from the band. We'll be supporting these guys as long as they make music. Enjoy, AllSaints. www.AllSaints.com/music

Snowballing from obnoxiously high West Palm Beach sandcastles, this band have caught the attention of an American many, including what appears to be every stateside video interviewer. So how could we charm them with our British camcorder wit? Selecting the abbreviated duo of the band JP and TJ (and unknowingly) the least creative of Surfer Blood, to fashion a time capsule keeper, a Surfer Blood Tee. Made on the boot of a Butlin's Bob The Builder, the band couldn't wait to mucky up their paws, show to the other members and wear it on tour. Tough guys, it's ours now! *Part of the ATP 2010 Time Capsule: supersweet.org
