The Anti-Everything Mantra of Surfbort’s “Lot Lizard 93”

The Brooklyn-born quartet of punk-rockers, formally known as Surfbort, know how to make music so raw it spits in your face. Some months ago, we reviewed their debut studio record, Keep on Truckin’. Among those tracks we loved, “Lot Lizard 93” was a particular favorite - so when Surfbort dropped a music video for the track, we wanted to do a write up!

Surfbort’s 'Keep on Truckin’': A Weird, New, and Awesome Record

Straight up: Surfbort's latest LP Keep on Truckin' is a galore of odd, funny, and droning lyricism floored atop of a congestion of deep guitar riffs and distant drum-blows. Entrenched in this weird record is a merit of cautious technique and buzzing infection. Like an ear-bug, Keep on Truckin' nestles itself in your ears and fucks shit up.

DM's First Single 'Freak in da Club' Is The 90's Electro-Thrash Soundtrack We Need

Surfbort’s new single “Silly D” is a memory of what punk was and is

The Brooklyn-based punk group, Surfbort, has released a brand new single: “Silly D.” It’s the second single the band has released in a year, following two brief EPs, and it shows the band’s persistence to their jagged punk sound. In fact, “Silly D” sounds more rough and alien than the band’s average discography, but that’s to the betterment of the single.
