"... multiple recommendations led us to find the young south Florida foursome Surfer Blood refreshing, if not a little familiar. Dreamy vocals reminiscent of Bryan Wilson collide with a Cars-esque catchy rock backdrop and it feels like life ends and begins near the ocean. They are barely old enough to pass an ID check at the door, but are definitely deserving of their spot on the stage." -Pine Magazine - Pine Magazine
"I've heard an advance copy (of Astro Coast) and let me be the first to tell you that's it's amazing. One of the best albums from a Florida band I've heard since 'Throwing Sparks' by Averkiou. I can't get enough of their sonic-surfy sounds. They blew me away - again." -kickbrightzine.com - www.kickbrightzine.com
"I was swept by West Palm Beach’s Surfer Blood (formerly TV Club). Like sweetness accosted by danger and chaos, their blaring guitar pop pairs ringing, lovely and occasionally triumphant melodies with head-rushing swells of noise. They’re onto an exhilaratingly modern sound and have the goods to make big ripples. And wrecking your instruments at the end of your set never hurts." - B. Aolehuu, The Orlando Weekly

Witlen enjoys discovering new bands. One of his favorites is Surfer Blood. "On a recommendation from a friend, I went to check 'em out. They played in this small venue, where I've seen a lot of shows -- but I've never seen it as packed. You'll be hearing more from this band for sure." - Ian Witlen - Spin.com
"West Palm Beach indie outfit Surfer Blood, formerly known as TV Club, revives the same lo-fi, post-punk qualities that Joy Division embodied. The band's a little 1980s, a little experimental, and at times, more than a little melancholic. Beyond all the gloomy stuff, though, Surfer Blood's songs are catchy as hell and incorporate Of Montreal-style harmonies that mitigate its maudlin mood. Yet any hint of joyful tidings diminishes at first read of the band's Myspace page. Members include "Id, Ego, and Super-ego." That's so self-aware of them... viva Ian Curtis!"
