Surfer Blood

In this lively session recorded on March 10, 2010, at Schubas Tavern in Chicago, Surfer Blood performed 'Swim (To Reach the End)' during a critical moment in their early career. By this time, they had released their debut album, 'Astro Coast,' just a couple of months earlier, and the buzz around them was palpable. Fans were buzzing about their lo-fi, sun-soaked sound that combined surf rock with a more introspective vibe. Interestingly, 'Astro Coast' was well-received by critics, with many highlighting the infectious melodies and raw energy that characterized their performances. This live recording captures that unique energy perfectly, showcasing how fresh their sound was at the time. It's a snapshot of a band on the rise, eager to make their mark.
