Surfin Serf

Surfin Serf is a four-piece band from Orlando, Florida. They put a progressive/math rock twist on highly catchy pop melodies. They have released two sets of recordings on bandcamp, Surfin Serf Demo 2011a and No Meta. While I enjoy focusing on the art of the recording, it is important to note Surfin Serf have an incredible live set and need not to doctor up their recordings.




From their Myspace, they share "the surfin serf music band of orlando, florida became a four-piece in the summer of 2010. this current iteration is wet with afterbirth, and most-appropriate representations gradually surface. in the meantime, peruse the available relics, which remain available as indications of the strange beast which now hangs out on vietnamese streets".

Fruit Flesh

Fruit Flesh is the solo project of Jake Tobin from Tallahassee, Florida. On bandcamp, he describes his music as "a whirl of physical repulsion and a dizzy, higher awareness that sounds something like a glass plate matted in areas with soft erasure marks and odd meter". Expect a split release with fellow Tallahassee band Wingsuit soon through Wonder Beard.
