to the beach

Sticking with sunny beach-pop, here are another 3 bands with some pretty sweet tunes...and they all have beach-style names :-)

First up are Beach Fossils.  They're jangly, lo-fi sound is similar to the Cults, Guards and the Drums.  Coming from Brooklyn, they released their debut 7" last year and followed that up with their self-titled debut album in May this year.  Here are a couple of tracks, 'Time' from the EP and 'Daydream' from the LP.

Daydream - Beach Fossils
Time - Beach Fossils

So from the beach to the Wavves.  This lo-fi noise-pop act is based around Nathan Williams and hail from sunny San Diego.  They are now on their third album, 'King of the Beach', which is a lot of fun!  Last year Nathan had an interesting time at the Primavera Sound festival having a drink and drugs fueled breakdown onstage, followed by the cancellation of his European tour.  But he's back with a bang.....see what you think.

Green Eyes - Wavves

Finally, we have something slightly more rocky (but not much), Surfer Blood.  These boys from West Palm Beach, Florida released their ace debut single 'Swim' last year and got quite a bit of attention, now they are back with debut long-player 'Astro Coast'.  Take a listen to the tracks here, i'm sure you'll enjoy!

Swim - Surfer Blood
Take it easy - Surfer Blood
