DOWNLOAD: Surf City - Dickshakers Union

It's pretty hard reaching Surf City - I get the impression the New Zealand quartet don't waste too much time checking emails and instead fill their lives with more interesting things, like fixing up motorbikes or drinking in the park. They look like they can't sit still for a photograph without getting bored and that restlessness translates into melodic, weirdo guitar pop that falls between sailor song and post-punk and that flinches constantly, itching for the next kick. The result is something that's almost unsettlingly and absurdly refreshing, a hand-on-heart anthem anyone with even a passing interest in indie rock should belt out at least once in their lives. This, along with more surf-punk greatness, can be found on Surf City's last eponymous release through Morr Music.
