Fresh off a tour with The Black Lips after playing this year’s Coachella, the band just released ‘Bort to Death’ a raw 4-track 7” on Hozac Records and "Romance" a dreamy 2-track flexi on Cult Records.
In the last three years they have supported acts such as The Dickies, Thee Oh Sees, Fat White Family, White Fang, Martin Rev, The Garden, Tijuana Panthers, The Mystery Lights, Tomorrows Tulips, Sunflower Bean, DIIV, GOGGS, The Dune Rats, Leftover Crack etc, Meatbodies, Ex-Cult, Hinds etc.
A favorite among local artists, it is no wonder when Julian Casablancas caught wind of the Surfbort’s electrifying energy, he signed them to Cult Records. Stay tuned for more from Cult Records and the band.

SLUSHY
SURFBORT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everytime you go to the store you always get a soda pop
You always get a candy bar
I always get a beer
You like me that way
Slushie
Don't go away
Slushie don't go away
Slushie don't go away
Go away
Slushie don't go away i don't want to be alone i finally know the type of snow that makes me feel at home just let me go or leave me here to be with you my little slush dear
Slushy slushy don't go away
Slushy slushy go away get the fuck out of my house
The lyrics to SURFBORT's song SLUSHY seem to convey a sense of dependence and attachment towards a particular type of companion, albeit an unusual one - a Slushy. The singer pleads for the Slushy not to go away, and describes how it makes them feel at home. The juxtaposition of the Slushy with a beer and candy bar, two common convenience store purchases, create a contrast between the singer and the person they are addressing in the song. The emphasis on the Slushy staying also highlights a sense of loneliness or discomfort without it. However, the tone soon changes and there is a clear sense of frustration and anger towards the Slushy for overstaying its welcome. The singer orders it to get out of their house, indicating that the dependence has turned into an annoyance.
The repetition of the phrase "Slushie don't go away" creates a sense of urgency and desperation, while the pleading tone in the first half of the song shifts to frustration and irritation in the second half. The constant shifts in tone and emotion convey a sense of inner turmoil and confusion that is not limited to the relationship between the singer and the Slushy.
