Florida’s fuzz-pop quintet Surfer Blood has been all over the web since last fall, all the while not even having a debut album out – until this week. Their LP Astro Coast finally hit stores on Tuesday via Kanine Records, and if you didn’t take a listen to last week’s AOL premiere, you can check it out now by your method of choice, as Astro Coast is streaming in full on MSN Music’s “Listening Booth,” and CBS’s “Street Date” through the end of this week. Check out 2 Mp3’s from the new album:

Formed in 2005 and today based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Mother Mother is an indie rock five-piece. Sort of. Originally just ‘Mother,’ which vocalist Ryan Guldemond calls “the best band name out there,” the band’s music really defies genres. The band is constantly surrounded by positive buzz, which has only grown since their acceptance by Spin Magazine and Perez Hilton. But love ‘em or hate ‘em, you have to admit they’re one-of-a-kind. In this video, http://www.WatchMojo.com speaks with Mother Mother about whether their home town inspires them, and whether hype helps or hinders a band.
