BEAT-UP CLUB TOILETS, AN ABANDONED DACIA LOGAN AND BEER IN THE SHOE -- WHATEVER! ALL OF THIS FUELS THE MISSION OF SIDEWALK SURFERS EVEN FURTHER:
„PLAY SHABBY STAGES BE ON THE ROAD PERFORM YOUR OWN SONGS
AND HAVE A DAMN GOOD TIME!“
CASUAL AND WITHOUT REGARD FOR GENRE RULES, THE FOUR MUSICIANS INFUSE CRISP PUNK ROCK ELEMENTS WITH AN ORGAN CARPET AND CAPTIVATING GUITAR RIFFS. THE BAND FROM SAARBRÜCKEN HAS BEEN TOURING FOR OVER TEN YEARS THROUGHOUT GERMANY, SWITZERLAND AND EUROPE AND CAN LOOK BACK ON 100 SWEATY SHOWS, INCLUDING GIGS AT SCENE-INFAMOUS FESTIVALS LIKE BOOZE CRUISE IN HAMBURG OR PUNK ROCK HOLIDAY IN SLOVENIA.
KIWIS AND PECKOS VOCALS CONTRAST LIKE JEKYLL AND HYDE AND CREATE THE SPECIAL HARMONY AND DISTINCTIVE SOUND OF THE 4-PIECE-COMBO. FAST BREAKS, MELODIC HOOKLINES, AND JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SNOT REPRESENT THE PUNK ETHOS THAT THE SIDEWALK SURFERS PURSUE IN ALL THEIR RELEASES. AFTER THE SUCCESSFUL DEBUT DINNER FOR SINNERS (2018, LONG BEACH RECORDS) REVIVED THE UNINHIBITED HEDONISM OF 90S EAST BAY PUNKS, THE SUCCESSOR ALBUM BECAME A COMING-OF-AGE RECORD THAT DEVOTES ITSELF TO PERSONAL AND POLITICAL THEMES. GROWING UP IS A MESS (2021, BARHILL RECORDS) IS BOTH A TRIBUTE AND FAREWELL TO THEIR OWN PAST.
FOR THEIR CURRENT ALBUM, THE SIDEWALK SURFERS LEAVE THE CRACKED ASPHALT OF THEIR HOMETOWN SKATE PARK BEHIND FOR GOOD AND INSTEAD PRESENT THE DOOMING SOUNDTRACK TO BOTH A ROAD MOVIE AND CLASS WAR. WITH 11 SONGS THAT CAPTURE THE BLEAK SPIRIT OF PRESENT TIMES YET STILL
CELEBRATE THE LAST SIP OF THE CALIPPO COLA, YOU CAN SAFELY GO ON TOUR. KINZI, DOM, PECKO AND KIWI HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE CERTAIN IN THEIR CREATIVE PROCESS. FOR THIS, THEY ARE EVEN WILLING TO SLEEP FIVE IN A 90CM BED. THE PIZZA VENDING MACHINE MAKES EVERYTHING RIGHT AGAIN.
