There's plenty to like about Astro Coast, the debut LP from the youthful Floridians in Surfer Blood, but first and foremost it's a great guitar album. So what exactly does that mean these days? Often, it's a reference to either a display of astounding technical chops or innovative use of tone and texture, qualities which, to be quite honest, aren't particularly present here

Astro Coast is the debut album by American indie rock band Surfer Blood. It was released January 19, 2010 on Kanine Records. The album peaked at number 124 on the Billboard 200 chart. All tracks written by John Paul Pitts, Thomas Fekete and Tyler Schwarz. John Paul Pitts – vocals, guitar, string arrangements, engineering, production. Thomas Fekete – guitar, vocals. Tyler Schwarz – drums. Brian Black – bass, vocals.

Surfer Blood are from Florida - not exactly the best place to hang ten, despite the tropical weather. However, on Astro Coast they take the sweet melodies of surf-pop to heart, evoking other California boys like Weezer and Pavement with big drums and riffs that dive right into the instant gratification center of the brain.

Album · 2010 · 10 Songs. Beyond the reverb kicks and retro fun captured in Surfer Blood’s songs is a prickly wit and sonic inventiveness that brings to mind everything from Weezer to Barenaked Ladies and King Sunny Ade. On their debut, Astro Coast, these four South Florida lads channel their love for fat ‘n’ moist guitar textures into tunes that abound with post-adolescent jitters and bittersweet wisdom while delivering shamelessly catchy chorus hooks. Floating Vibes and Catholic Pagans are modern slices of poolside party rock, while Harmonix gleams with Police-like luster and Take It Easy moves to a metallic.
