Surf City : Mt. Kill
On their debut EP, Surf City find a perfect blend between the sounds of warm 1960′s California pop and raw, angry punk. The New Zealand foursome has been making a name for themselves on their home turf but they’ve yet to break through anywhere outside of that. Their songs are full of distortion and hazey/pretty melodies, tender emotions and anger. The video for ‘Dickshaker’s Union‘ features the band jamming in a cramped garage and a cuddly bear pogo-sticking in slow motion in front of bright, blue skies, which I reckon is an apt fit for the band. And if the album artwork looks familiar, its because its by the “Assembly-Line Picasso” Steve Keene, who has also done album covers for Pavement and the Silver Jews.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
