Hailing from Toronto, the group consists of Shermy Freeman (guitar), Nicole Damoff (guitar), Sarah Butler (bass), and Amber Felman (drums).

How to Sound Like The Surfrajettes
The Surfrajettes' sound is characterized by clean, twangy guitar tones that capture the essence of classic surf music. Utilizing spring reverb and tremolo effects, the guitars produce a bright, shimmering quality reminiscent of ocean waves. The rhythm section drives the music with tight, punchy bass lines and dynamic drumming, providing a propulsive energy that's both danceable and infectious. Their arrangements often incorporate layered harmonies and playful melodies, creating a lush sonic tapestry that evokes sunny beach days and retro cool. To achieve a similar sound, focus on clean amplifiers with a vintage vibe and consider integrating analog delay pedals to add depth and texture to the mix.
