The press says:
"One of the most satisfying electro-hybrid albums we've ever heard - ever." -Perfect Porridge

"Their first album is perfect." -Adam Lazlo/Analog Electric

"...well-produced, expertly executed...All those traits are represented in equal measures on The Surfactants...a very smart, successful experiment in computer-driven genre mashing." -Chris Godsey/MNArtists

"The current album is amazing." -High Plains Drifter

"These guys mix electronics with standard rock sounds, which ends up sounding pretty good." -Rift Magazine

"If the songs on the band's MySpace site are any indication of what's to come, Duluth is a few months away from being kicked in the teeth." ...and the heroine screams help!

   About The Surfactants
The Surfactants is a dark new-wave electro rock band formed from barren Minnesota ice and snow. Combining a love for old-school metal with a fascination for lethal saw-tooth waves, the band shoves a boot into the teeth of unsuspecting audiences.

Formed in 2005 by producer/drummer/DJ Zac Bentz, the band quickly found their own unique voice in a sea of abysmal synth-pop wannabees. Instead of adopting the cliche batch of '80s kitch, the band used their 20 years of on-the-road and in-the-studio experience to forge a new style of heavy, dueling guitars, stuttering beats, screaming synths and pounding bass.

The vocal style of Marcus Matthews is also something outside of the usual new-wave style, eschewing that fractured, nerdy, childish approach and instead falling closer into a grown-up Depeche Mode or Foo Fighters realm. This unexpected clash of styles has sent audiences reeling and critics into fits of adoring apoplexy.

The band has released two untitled mini-albums and the mp3 only album Diminishing Returns that collects both of the two mini-albums into one solid package. New music is on the way.
