Watch: Surfbort Air New Single/Video "Happy Happy Halloween"

Brooklyn punk band Surfbort have aired the video for their halloween single "Happy Happy Halloween".

The song is out today (October 21), the band's new album "Keep on Truckin’", came out earlier this month. Get it here

“Halloween is our favorite holiday and we celebrate it everyday so we wanted to make an extra spooky song to celebrate the ghouls and ghosts “says front woman, Dani Miller. The band went in thinking they were going to do a cover, but their ever-brilliant manager and album producer, Linda Perry, had other ideas, “Linda just started playing spooky Dracula noises on the keys and the rest is history. Happy Happy Halloween.” The song gives a gnarly twist on the Halloween songs we listened to as kids, think Monster Mash, but with the psyche of Freddy Kruger, name-checking their favorite goth idols Bauhaus, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Sisters of Mercy and Christian Death.  

The video, shot and directed by Perry, features the band in vivacious costumes (bass guitarist Nick Arnold as Bob Ross is a must-see) and really shows the members in their unearthly element. It’s not hard to see why Surftbort owns Halloween.
