Hailing from the sun-drenched coast of Newcastle, Australia, Surf Trash are bringing their raw, infectious brand of indie-rock across the ocean to the iconic sands of Perranporth. Built around the rhythmic powerhouse of brothers Andrew and Nicholas-Camel, the band has rapidly ascended from garage-rehearsal roots to becoming a driving force in the modern alternative scene. Their sound is a potent cocktail of driving percussion, melodic guitar hooks, and the kind of anthemic choruses that feel like they were written specifically for a stage overlooking the Atlantic.
The magic of Surf Trash lies in their ability to balance high-octane garage grit with a polished, melodic sensibility. It’s music that captures the frantic energy of youth and the laid-back bliss of coastal living simultaneously. Having cut their teeth on the Australian festival circuit, they have perfected a live performance that is as visceral as it is tight, shifting seamlessly from heavy, rhythmic grooves to sun-soaked indie-pop gems. Their presence on the lineup ensures an evening that moves beyond a simple gig into a full-scale celebration of surf culture and rock and roll.
There is perhaps no venue better suited for this four-piece than The Watering Hole. As the tide rolls in, expect the energy to rise with a setlist designed for the barefoot and the bold. Whether you are a long-time fan of their breakout hits or a newcomer looking for the ultimate soundtrack to a Cornish summer night, Surf Trash delivers an authentic, salt-crusted edge that resonates long after the final chord fades into the surf.
