Surf City

About Surf City

Surf City became one of New Zealand's most buzzed-about bands in the early 2000s with their energetic mélange of '60s-style pop melodies, Kiwi indie pop in the manner of the Clean and Tall Dwarfs, ringing surf guitar leads, and noisy indie rock influences such as the Pixies, Pavement, and the Jesus and Mary Chain. The group’s self-titled EP was released under the name Surf City when the band discovered a group in the U.K. was already using Kill Surf City. In 2008, Surf City began work on their first full-length album. Kudos was released by Fire Records in November of 2010.
