NYC based American-Australian neo-new wave duo Surf Rock is Dead comes close to mainstream dream pop on their new single As If. Kevin Pariso (Chicago)and Joel Witenberg (Melbourne) channel the Eighties like that decade never ended - plenty of echo on the vocals with a good ear for guitar and keyboards dynamics.
As If will be available on forthcoming EP We Have No Friends via The Native Sound. The vinyl version (milky clear with red splatter, light blue, Coke bottle clear, white) will contain their SRiD EP as the B-side. Release date: September 22.
