Surfbort serve up satisfying sizzle on junk food jam "Hot Dog"
Surfbort stand as modern icons of unapologetic individualism, embodying a rebellious punk ethos forged at the riotous nexus of haute-culture and trash-couture. The band’s latest single from their upcoming LP, Reality Star, “Hot Dog” slaps with the satisfying sizzle of street sausages slathered in spicy squirts of special sauce.
Sliding a banging beat between the buns of an irresistibly greasy groove, “Hot Dog” struts with colossal confidence punctuated with perky guitar lines that give way to overpowering waves of densely deconstructed static feedback before breaking free once more to keep the pogoing proceedings nimbly bouncing along. Absurdist lyrics ooze with Dadaist sass, piling on sweet and savory references to East LA existence like so many disparate condiments squeezed and scooped with reckless abandon from oversized plastic vessels into a vividly lucid smorgasbord of flavors liberally spiced with audacious attitude. A junk food jam of the highest quality, “Hot Dog” feeds the need for instant gratification with a taste that lingers on the tongue and leaves you begging for a second helping.
The lunatic fringe of Silver Lake’s most creative denizens springs to hyperkinetic life in a Pooneh Ghana directed video that serves up a kaleidoscopic collision of skaters and queens and cowboys and nuns and anthropomorphic waterfowl in a tumbling parade of eclectic vignettes offering a glimpse into an idealized rendition of alternative LA street culture. Gleefully cartoonish and reverently irreverent, “Hot Dog” is a celebration of abject non-conformity and the tightly knit community of freaks and geeks that congregate on the Sunset shores of the City on the Edge of Forever, where the measure of authenticity is unabashedly marching together to the beat of your own drum.
