Freshmen 5 Spring 2010: Surfer Blood

The group from Miami debuted their first album Astro Coast to an 8.2 rating on Pitchfork along with the ultimately acclaimed winning title “Best New Music.” Formed over their mutual love of music and disdain for, ironically enough, the surf culture of their youth, John Paul (JP) Pitts, TJ Schwarz, Thomas Fekete, Brian Black and Marcos Marchesani are currently riding a wave of much-deserved hype.
