Surf Trash 'Wrong or Right' Single Launch ft. The Lenores 27 September

Oct 1

Surf trash, a local band from Newcastle, played out a smashing concert over the weekend in Sydney. Their rugged looks, vibrant play style and punk rock vibe just in time as we head into summer.

What a cracker way to get back on the horse attending live gigs!

Their hard hitting openings and heart pumping rock anthems will transport you and your mates to an afternoon kicking off school just for the hell of it. A performance that echoed with other Aussie indie & alternative rock bands such as Pist idiots, Hockey Dad and WAAX whilst also bringing to the table their own unique blend of it all.

They were also supported by The Lenores on the night, an equally awesome band with an energetic live performance of aggressive, enthusiastic jumping and sporadic bursts of electric guitar to keep the excitement rolling. A sound very similar to that of Rise Against, Violent Soho, blink-182 and the Chats. An overall excellent display of raw 90s and 2000s punk rock.

Starting the night off with synchronous guitar swings, leg stumping drum beats, & vocal raws of pure energy. Surf trash’s grunge metallic style of their song Mayhem really got everyone going. They also played some of their new material such as Wrong or Right and the audience even got a sneak peak at some music yet to be released. All inclusive, an absolute ecstatic mix of banging tunes and belting vocals.

On stage, the drummer and lead vocalist Andrew Scott maintained a young spirited energy throughout the evening, keeping those rock rhythms rolling through the screaming and cheering of the audience in awe of what was a spectacular gig. Joining Andrew were his brother Nicholas and best mate Lachlan Jackson who kept the Aussies 90s rock vibe as they ripped out gritty and exhilarating guitar riffs that enticed the viewers, all whilst balancing the appearance of three guys just sitting on a beach as the sun goes down. Their sound radiated the challenges of youth and the struggles of aspiring men and women alike. They truly are the epitome of nothing but sun, vibes, mates and the music. Their intense but relaxed atmosphere certainly brought a calm to the daily stresses of our complex world. They’re a band where their appearance and personality clearly matches their genre.

All in all, it was an awesome way to kick of the live gigs again here in Sydney and I am personally eager to see this wild trio of eccentricity continue to bring this new and exciting sound to the genre of indie surf rock.
