Surfer Blood - Take It Easy

[rylott1]

"I had a bad day when I wrote this song. I haven't had a bad day since." (John Paul Pitts, lead singer of Surfer Blood)

[Tayaxo]

reminds me of summer <3

[rdiculous]

the RAC remix of this song is also off the hoooooook

[Mynameislardo]

I saw them open for the Pixies last night

[splinter360]

If that wasn't a sharks mouth, i'd jump in there.

[damndudetightt]

561! Holla!

[iHateStandingUp]

OIAM much?

[briley629]

They are SOOO good live! The lead singer managed to sing well even while crowd surfing!

[downbythesub]

this band is AMAZING!

[mcbtex]

sounds just like the THEME SONG from the old tv show GREEN ACRES !!!

[isanckdolls]

se parecen a the drums no? O:

[OHGEEKUSHful]

yeee saw them live at us open of surfing! they opened for MGMT

[23moonboy23]

@OHGEEKUSHful A friend of mine went to that! Sounded amazing

[Soogaroosh]

I love this song especially the intro! Sounds like 60's surfer rock meets hawaii-five-o or something HAHAHA

[Mika4everful]

I love<3 this song it's the perfect tune.

[americanmouth15]

WTF?! Why are we arguing about god?! ENJOY THE FRIGGIN' MUSIC IDIOTS!!!

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

They remind me of an upbeat version of Fleet Foxes.

[motleycruefan14]

@NeonPsychedelicRobot no way bro

[Benonovak1]

one in a milion

[ILIKETURTLES1013]

One in a million!

[edruseru]

Dam ba dam badamba da!

[orourkeda]

[ish91914]

[Broey88]

@ish91914 what does so cal and baja have to do with anything? they're from West Palm beach, Florida.

[kregerfilms]

Eclectic Radio FTW!!!

[nutellawithpopcorn]

Can it get much better then this?...

No I don't think it can!

[edruseru]

@nutellawithpopcorn It's instant joy! :D

[LILJESUSBOI]

@toweringmatt

Let's play testacletickle with Matt!!!

[LILJESUSBOI]

HAIL SATIN!!!

[Broey88]

@LILJESUSBOI you want to worship a fabric?? well, shit... if people want to praise an imaginary dude with a big white beard, all the power to you!

[NeonPsychedelicRobot]

@Broey88 "An imaginary dude with a big white beard" that's your definition of God ?

Ha.. There are things beyond current human comprehension and you just summerized something of that order in a very humanly fashion, which indicates you know absolutely nothing. I'm pretty sure a creator is far more deep and perplexing than that.

[jayhawks25]

I just saw them last night in athens. I STRONGLY recommend going to see them. They put on an amazing show. They are badass live.

[piercetheromans]

I listen to this song everyday...seriously. It gets me in a good mood. :D a summer mood!

[LILJESUSBOI]

HAIL JESUS!!!

[Petrabi]

Agh! I'm so happy Surfer Blood is finally starting to get the recognition they deserve. I remember when their songs had only a few thousand views. This is so awesome, I am incredibly proud of them.

[ubs16]

i love underground bands, i fucking hate commercial bands that make crap meaningless music just for the money

[toweringmatt]

@ubs16 YEAH MAN FUCK SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

[Tsuekasae]

look up RAC remix

[awj03130]

If you don't liek this band, you have ize of chall.

[fettfan91]

this shit needs to be on the radio

[ubs16]

@fettfan91 i heard this on the radio

[PissinOffSociety]

4 people were high when they watched this and accidently hit the the wrong button

[BareNakedBather]

if you actually listen its more surf punk than vampire weekend....voices are quaint but nothing to do with vamp w/e as much as i like them surfer doles out more

[teejtills]

@BareNakedBather i get where you're coming from, but just because they're not exactly the same doesn't mean it can't be inspired by. I think he means by the way the whole "bang" thing is at around 1:23 and reoccurring in the song, ya know? Inspiration is just inspiration

[lightscanturnpurple]

One in a million anyone?

[lonestarw0lf]

Mmm creamy goodness

[yourmaw]

3 people didn't take it easy.

[galvan420]

An epic combo if Surf and Indie, gahh!!!

[wvolson]

I Love this Song!! I chill with it every day for a week so far here in Florida!

[magicalsoulfire]

@wvolson you lucky fucker its pissin it down here in the uk :-) but the tune lifts me up

[piercetheromans]

this song reminds me of going to in in out and going to venice beach:) LOL

[CossRooper]

I would not really like this band if it weren't for strokes of beauty such as the riff that starts at 2:15... such things seperate them from being really generic.

[R0sstopher]

Heard this song when they supported Interpol at the O2 Academy in Birmingham on the 26th of November. Such an epic song. And epic band. I love 'em.

[TheEezy1]

@R0sstopher i was there :D thought it sounded much better live

[R0sstopher]

@TheEezy1 Yeah. I was at the bar with my mate when this started and I had it stuck in my head ever since. I had to find it. But you're right; it was better live.

[memary1000]

Great band!! I saw you guys in Amsterdam 21-11-2010, interpol played there! Love..

[TheNewLoFi]

i saw them at the bowery ballroom at CMJ this year. I posted a live version of take it easy from that show if anyone is interested. Just as good live, if not better. i also posted a live version of swim

[Killpokolypse]

Best song ever to play while on a beach at night with friends

[oldmoviemusic]

I'm seeing them in a week supporting The Drums!

[Mathews8507]

Damn...this sounds like Vampire Weekend! It's good to know that they're inspiring new up-coming indie bands like this one...Although Surfer Blood are also inspired in 90s alt. rock...which is good....anyway, love this song! n Vampire Weekend also...lol

[jahargablarg]

@Mathews8507 vampire weekend seems more reggae, this reminds more of dick dale.

[ceciliasalinas64]

@Mathews8507 now i am having a spaz attack just cause you said VAMPIRE WEEKEND I LOVE THEM

[TheVampireFeed]

@ceciliasalinas64 you and everybody else :P

[passeriformes33]

@Mathews8507 fuck vampy weekend

[splinter360]

@Mathews8507 Their both heavily inspired by African music.

[StewedCarnage]

Yeah, I can see the Vampire Weekend comparison. Not sure if anyone's heard of "Fair Ohs" yet, but If you haven't, and enjoy these peeps, I would strongly recommend them.

[futurehead1503]

then we should take it easy.... daw-naw-naw-naw-naw-naw-naw

[bubbleyumm10]

I saw them live todaaaaay at Grand Central :') <3

[LMpsych0]

1 person is one meth

[hachano24]

[powerpoop9]

"in my mind you can do no wrong" i think not "mama you can do no wrong" but idk

[mayne75l]

So good I can almost taste it.

[instanoodles3956]

SUMMER :D

[TheWalcottContra]

I absolutely love this song!!! ^_^

[iouzman92]

[larrybob141]

I wish I knew everything it takes to get along

[mickdimas]

Vampire-weak endish.

[chickenandgreens]

@mickdimas YEA RIGHT BITCH

[kenijoelove96]

@mickdimas fuck up dude

you can't even spell their name right

its vampire weekend

[mickdimas]

@kenijoelove96 Nope, they are weak really weak.  I spelled it right you just like crap music, sorry I can't help you.

[kenijoelove96]

@mickdimas clearly you are an idiot because you spelled it blatantly wrong

and you're trying to imply that since I listen to crap music (which i don't), I can't spell

you sure do know how to make yourself look mighty smart man

[kadukie111]

saw them live in Toronto last saturday, they were hilarious! definitely a great band

[thefreewheeler]

I dig it! Sounds like an update on "Only have eyes for you."

[joeleb]
