Californian group Surf Club appear to have set out their intentions clearly, making lively indie-pop no doubt inspired by their Californian surroundings. Simples.

San Fran's Surf Club return with yet more, and perfectly timed summer vibes on "Until Then".

We've not heard anything from Surf Club since the early 2013 release of "Swoon" and in all fairness, "Until Then" takes a bit of a step into uncharted territory for the band.


More brilliant new school "indie" from Surf Club and their new track "Swoon", refer back to a previous track from Ski Lodge to hear a rant about the state of old school "indie", and what the future holds for indie lovers who aren't in it for the leather jacket.


A new name which sprung onto our radar yesterday was Surf Club, which includes Frankie Soto, who was once part of an early Craft Spells line up. That reason alone should be enough for you to hit the 'continue reading' link.



Garage and surf rock were the MVP's of October. Strong garage tracks coming from Psycho Horses, Lazyeyes and Cheatahs meld perfectly with the equally strong surf rock of Surf Club and this month's best newcomers, Gloss.

That's not all October brought to the table though, with the diversity and tranquil brilliance of Amusement, Fryars and The White Lights we found our perfect closing threesome.


They've had a while away after their debut EP back in Februrary, but ex Craft Spells man Frankie Soto and his Surf Club band are back with a new single in the form of "Reverie".



Surf Club are back for 2012 and after the mighty "It's True" and "BB" hit us for six last year, it looks like they're set to hit the ground running this year with new single "Lonely Days".

Ski Lodge are back with "Just To Be Like You" and as the cliche goes, contrary to the view from the artwork's window, all we see though ours is rain and we're yet again yearning for summer through the medium of music.

one for the people certified new mixtape march 2013


Bands seemed to wake from their winter hibernation in March with stalwarts Vampire Weekend dropping two of the best tracks this month and emerging talent such as Splashh and Surf Club coming back for a second bite of the cherry.




Sometimes you just don't tire of a genre. No matter how many seem to try their hand at it. Hats off then to Indianapolis four piece Fever Blanket, who have created a beautiful surf rock-esque track with their debut "You & The Things You Do".


Following on from their rambunctious "Have Fun" single - Ozzy surf rockers Bleeding Knees Club are back with a new video for their forthcoming "Teenage Girls" single.





'Certified New is a month by month mixtape of the best new music'

Wild Smiles return with "Fool For You", a newly invigorated take on their Beach Boys meet Nirvana surf rock.

Having signed to Sunday Best and Domino Publishing, the band look set to take things up a couple of notches and new track "Fool For You" does exactly that.


Art Is Hard are having one hell of a day today, first we bring you the new postcard club release of Yoofs' "For Her"; now we bring you, "Happy Anniversary", the new track from our favourite Sheffield surf rockers, Best Friends.



Not really sure if these guys actually do skate, or even surf for that matter. Regardless though, were here for the music, so lets say hello to Finland's Big Wave Riders.




We like to think that the majority of the music spoke about here is organically found, and for the most part it is. NY band Little Racer was a little different, however. A quick heads up put us in the right direction, and we're all the more thankful for it.
