Hailing from Chicago and Melbourne, Australia respectively, Kevin Pariso and Joel Witenberg together make up the Brooklyn duo, Surf Rock is Dead. Embodying the beachiness of their namesake's genre through a new wave filter, the band have spent the last two years crafting an infectious brand of dream-pop in the vein of Diiv, Day Wave, and Beach Fossils.

What people are saying about Surf Rock is Dead:
“It’s a testament to the power of the
human imagination—and their bleached
grooves—that this can conjure a baking
beach and some existential ennui in the
middle of a frigid winter.”
- NOISEY

“…a strange contradiction that leaves you
pressing play on the track over and over
again.”
- NYLON

“At its core, this is modern surf music, but
there's nothing frothy about it.”
- Under the Radar

“...a heavenly confection”
- CLASH Magazine

"...a sumptuous bout of guitar-pop just when we need it the most."
- Gold Flake Paint

“Surf rock isn’t dead; it’s just been transformed..”
- FLOOD Magazine
