Biography

Surfbort was formed in 2014 by lead singer Dani Miller when she was at a gig looking for acts to perform. The group got their name from the Beyoncé song "Drunk in Love". They began releasing music with the single "Trash" in 2015, followed by their self-titled debut EP on Slope Records.
Texan Sean Powell joined the band on drums in September 2015. In February 2016 the original guitarist Matt Picola left the band and Powell asked fellow Texan Alex Kilgore to come in on guitar.
In 2017, the band performed at the Coachella Festival.
Their debut album, Friendship Music, was released in 2018 on Cult Records.
In 2019, the band was featured prominently in Gucci’s Pre-Fall 2019 campaign photographed in Sicily, after previously performing at the opening of Gucci’s Wooster Street store in New York.
Surfbort toured internationally during this period, performing with acts such as Idles, Interpol, Wolf Alice, Descendents, Amyl and the Sniffers, Black Lips, Tropical Fuck Storm, Iceage, and Starcrawler.
In 2020, original guitarist Matt Picola rejoined the band, and former roadie Nick Arnold became the group’s bassist.
Surfbort recorded their second studio album, Keep On Truckin, with producer Linda Perry in 2021. The track “Open Your Eyes” from the album was added to the video game Rocket League in 2022, and the band appeared on the Grouplove song “Just What You Want” the same year.
In 2025, Surfbort announced their third studio album, Reality Star, scheduled for release on March 6, 2026 through TODO Records. The lead single, "Lucky", was issued alongside a music video directed by Pooneh Ghana. Miller described the track as a "delusional pep talk" during a difficult personal moment.
