SURF TRASH, THE HAPPY RETURN

Fresh off a sold out Australia + New Zealand tour, and the release of their second EP ‘Under The Radar’ in January, Surf Trash are keeping the momentum going with the release of their newest single Spice It Up & Aus regional tour to go with it.
Spice It Up maintains Surf Trash's signature blend of gritty riffs and addictive high energy hooks - while demonstrating that with each new release, the group are challenging their sound that is varied and unique to their own. With a new 4th member but a lifelong brother of the group ‘Patrick Russell’ now a part of the ST operation as lead guitarist.
The NSW based quartet are more powerful than ever and are keen to share what they’re been working on. Spice It Up is a swirling miasma of driving punk with a catchiness that belies its gloomy tone. Raw, Roomy and hard-hitting, the outfit have focused on capturing their raw live sound that they a renowned for on the road.
With a tip of the hat to the 90s Aus rock scene they grew up on, idolising greats such as The Celebrate Rifles and Radio Birdman. Scott’s rather unusual lyrics on the track ‘Systematic rompa-syompa’ and ‘release the chompers’ he says are about “not acting to a system or a fixed plan and living your life in freedom opposed to being controlled within the modern worlds box.” With this being the first taste of Surf Trash's forthcoming album, the hard-hitting track sets the standard for what's to come.
