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.

Trashworld
SURFBORT Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Getting hot getting spent
Pushing the planet off the very edge
Your air conditioning is busted
Breaking boundaries in this trassh world
I'm a trash boy im a trash girl
The planet knows what you have done
Throwing your filth in the ocean
I'm a trash boy im a trash girl
The planet knows what you have done
Throwing your filth in the ocean
Inching closer to the very end
Getting hot getting spent
Pushing the planet off the very edge
Your air conditioning is busted
Breaking boundaries in this trassh world
Im a trash boy im a trash girl
The planet knows what you have done
Throwing your filth in the ocean
Breaking boundaries in this trassh world
Im a trash boy im a trash girl
The planet knows what you have done
Throwing your filth in the ocean
The lyrics of SURFBORT's song "Trashworld" are a commentary on the state of the planet and the impact of human beings on it. The line "Inching closer to the very end" suggests that we are nearing the point of no return, where the damage done to the planet may be irreversible. The subsequent lines "Getting hot getting spent / Pushing the planet off the very edge" further illustrate this urgency and push the listener to take action before it's too late.
The next line "Your air conditioning is busted" could be interpreted as a metaphor for our broken system and the ways in which we have failed the planet. The repetition of the phrase "Breaking boundaries in this trash world / I'm a trash boy, I'm a trash girl" is a call to action for the listener to recognize their own complicity in contributing to the problem, and to take responsibility for their actions. The final line "The planet knows what you have done / Throwing your filth in the ocean" explicitly calls out the pollution and littering that has caused irreparable harm to our ecosystems.
