SURFBORT RELEASE NEW SINGLE “LUCKY” AND ANNOUNCE NEW LP OUT MARCH 6
TODO RECORDS
Surfbort has announced their new album, Reality Star, due out March 6th via TODO Records. They’ve also shared lead single “Lucky,” which arrives alongside a Pooneh Ghana-directed video. “I wrote ‘Lucky’ when I was deep in a funk; it’s my anthem to blast away the darkness,” frontwoman Dani Miller explains. “You know those nights when you’re convinced everyone hates you and you’ve totally failed at life? Yeah, this song’s my delusional pep talk that I’m adored, killing it, and on magazine covers. It’s about being your own hype-person through the lows, celebrating the highs, and loving the messy, beautiful humans around you. We’re all in this chaos together. So, spread the love. Yes, that includes giving yourself that love, and reminding ourselves how lucky we are.”
The band’s third album strikes the perfect balance between life’s harsh realities and the delusional dream we all chase to make existence a little more bearable. It’s a record that celebrates contradiction, raw yet dreamy, chaotic yet deeply alive.
Dani Miller’s vocals are a force of nature: dynamic, unfiltered, and fiercely human. She moves effortlessly from brash, low-frequency punk poetry to airy, melodic pop-punk interludes, all tied together by that iconic Dani twang that’s instantly recognizable. The result is a sound that feels both modern and nostalgic, a reminder of when we had to romanticize our chaos just to keep going.
Reality Star channels the spirit of punk through every possible lens, from the frenetic energy of Black Flag and Dead Kennedys to the playful eccentricity of the B-52s and the grungy vulnerability of Nirvana. The album pulses with the electricity of Surfbort’s legendary live shows, loud, unrestrained, and joyfully rebellious. The album oozes fun, and listeners are left with a feeling of youthful resilience.
At its core, Reality Star is about finding light in the madness. It’s a rallying cry to laugh through the pain, to be a rebel in a world that keeps trying to bring you down, and to have a good time doing it. With pounding energetic drums, raucous guitars, and a contagious sense of unity from all, Surfbort once again proves why no crowd is more alive than theirs, and Reality Star will only fan the flames higher.
The album was recorded by Adam Laidlaw, Riff Cuéllar, and Luis Flores. Mixed by Adam Laidlaw and mastered by Riff Cuéllar at The Boat in Los Angeles, 2025.
