PT104: SURF FRIENDS - CONFUSION (CD ALBUM) 2010



From Surf Friends formation in early 2009 songs have flowed blending the early

indie sounds of Flying Nun bands such as The Clean with new experimental waves

of No Age and Deerhunter. Surf Friends are driving a new alternative sound.



Surf Friends are Brad Coley (guitar, vocals, keys, harmonica, drum machine), Pete

Westmoreland (bass, keys, vocals).



Two bandmates with a massive sound. Surf Friends have often been compared to

Joy Division and New Order. Whilst they happily bounce along with dancebeats not

unlike New Order, they also share the darkness of Joy Division or Suicide. The

immense energy from their live show of reverberating guitars, bass, synth keyboard

and looped samples have been wonderfully captured on this new album.



After releasing their self-titled EP last year that took the lads to Wellington, Surf

Friends followed it up with a full New Zealand tour in December 2009 with American

indie rockers The Black Watch. 2010 has seen them working hard recording their

debut album, honing their live show and releasing, no less than four singles to radio in

anticipation for the new album.All have received good radio air play on the B-Net

stations and Kiwi fm. Success has also been enjoyed on the Kiwi fm Top Ten with

Your On My Mind reaching the number three spot..



Surf Friends Debut album entitled Confusion was recorded at the Depot Artspace in

Devonport and produced by Mark Howden. It is scheduled for release on the11th

October 2010. A full New Zealand tour begins on the 8th Oct and runs through until

the 30th.Keep an eye on the gig guides or check out the full itinery on the Powertool
