We’re big Surfer Blood fans over here at County Grind. And we do mean big. But you already know that.

The homegrown West Palm Beachers are currently touring the world as they prepare for their U.S. tour with five Florida stops, one being in Miami on September 18 with the Drums.

Burton-esque Charlie and the Chocolate Factory version of “Twin Peaks.”

But what do you think? Stream the song below.
