Surfer Blood



Surfer Blood is an indie rock band from West Palm Beach, FL. The band consists of John Paul Pitts (vocals/guitar), Tyler Schwarz (drums), Kevin Williams (bass), Thomas Fekete (guitar), and Marcos Marchesani (percussion), all who are in their early 20's. Surfer Blood met one fateful night at an after party for Miami’s Ultra Festival, though they didn’t attend the festival itself. After discussing music, what else, for the remainder of the night, Pitts & Schwarz decided to recruit the three other guys to perfect a couple of songs he had been working on for some time, and thus, the band was formed. If you’re wondering about the name, the band ain’t got no surfer blood in them, and actually denounce the surfer kids of their youth for making their high school experience miserable. As for the moniker itself, one of the band members just randomly yelled it out over the radio in the backseat of the band’s car, which is as good a naming process as any. This is "Floating Vibes" off of their debut album Astro Vibes, which was released in January of 2010.
