Surfin Serf- Cached Ashes
RIYL: The Dismemberment Plan, Joan of Arc Lives in Chicago, time signature changes and technical jazz groove jamz.
Byron is a mad man and Surfin Serf is his baby. Everything about Surfin Serf is methodically calculated, something I found out first when playing in the band. At the time of my involvement, practices were held at 9 in the morning, and I was one of two drummers. It wasn't in the least bit unusual to spend all of practice on one part of one song. Byron writes all the songs himself and then has some of the most talented musicians in Orlando help him out. I might be a tad bit biased, but they are awesome.
