Andrew Collins sits in for Nemone and talks to Florida-based alternative surf-rock band Surfer Blood.

Pitchfork recently praised Surfer Blood's debut album "Astro Coast" as a "great guitar album, every bit as easy and fun to air-guitar with as to sing along to." The Miami, Florida based band's intricate, amazingly catchy debut single "Swim" was one of the blogosphere's most widely praised songs of 2009. The band is currently earning rave reviews for their live performances as they support the record all across the country, including a series of dates at this year's SXSW festival. The band grew up listening to a lot of Dinosaur Jr., Pavement, the Pixies and The Smiths which has affected a lot of the Surfer Blood sound.
