Surfbort
Explosive, feedback-drenched garage punk that pairs confrontational shrieks with a message of radical inclusion. High-voltage energy for the mosh pit.

Surfbort sounds like a live wire thrashing in a puddle of beer. It is fast, loud, and intentionally unpolished, channeling the jagged edges of 80s hardcore through a modern Brooklyn lens. The guitars are thin and biting, the drums are a relentless assault, and the whole mix feels like it was captured just seconds before the equipment caught fire.
What truly sets them apart is the magnetic, chaotic presence of Dani Miller. While the music is aggressive, the spirit is surprisingly warm. They trade in 'friendship music,' using the sonic language of punk to build a community for outsiders. It is music that demands you stop being a spectator and start being a participant, whether you are ready or not.
Start with 'Friendship Music' to hear their ethos in full bloom. It captures the band at their most cohesive without sacrificing the raw, scuzzy charm that makes them a staple of the contemporary underground scene.
