Blackout Balter drop new song “Surf” – listen!

Blackout Balter have released their latest single “Surf.” You can check it out on SoundCloud here!

Here’s what Phil Cohen, Blackout Balter’s frontman, had to say about the new song:

“We wanted to cram as much stereotypic surf rock stuff into this song, while slapping on a modern overtone and giving it a sharp outer-edge. The guitar tremolo, rolling surf-style bass-line, the 2/1 snare drum pattern, ‘ohhh, ohhh, ohhh’ backup vocals–it’s all there.  But, thematically speaking, Surf has a darker side, and–as far as the songwriting goes–it’s an attempt to juxtapose a happy, less-serious outer-shell with a deeper, more serious core.  To this day, though I wrote the song and have played it hundreds of times, the chaotic bridge, or middle section of the song, really speaks to me.  Shaping and molding these types of semi-strange, melodic connections through music–almost a musical digression, in a way–really get me excited as a songwriter.”
