THE SURFITES

The Surfites are an instrumental surf band formed in 2004 by the two Fjellgren brothers of Swedish 90's surf music pioneers Daytonas. The band is a studio group only and decided from the beginning to not do any shows in order to be able to fully concentrate on recordings. Debut album Big Pounder came in 2007 and was followed by Escapades in Space in 2008 and The Surfites & Co. in 2010, all released by U.S. label Double Crown Records. 2010 was also the year that saw the launch of three of the Surfites' side projects: The Excelsiors, The Angry Breed and The Royal Vikings. 2011-2013 featured single and EP releases from the Surfites and the Angry Breed including splits with The Thunderchiefs and The Hangee V. In 2019, Spanish record label Topaz Hit Label reissued Escapades In Space in a limited vinyl LP edition as well as releasing a 7" EP with four of the Excelsiors tracks from The Surfites & Co. album.
