Surfliner formed in 2017 in Duxbury, Massachusetts, when friends Tyler Wyatt and <a href="spotify:artist:1XIE58AteyxPkzXjLbcIYt" data-name="Sam Worley">Sam Worley</a> began recording dreamy, coastal-tinged surf rock demos. After adding John Carlson (bass) and Sam's brother Harry Worley (keys/trumpet), plus saxophonist Aidan Hobbs for live gigs, they moved to NYC, where their debut album <a href="spotify:album:13zI0QXxoyTXQ1FMULEPcA" data-name="Kiska">Kiska</a> (2018) earned them sets at Mercury Lounge, The Bitter End, and Bowery Electric.
The band’s NYC run ended with the pandemic. Stripped back to Wyatt, Worley, and Carlson, they retreated to a beach cottage and recorded <a href="spotify:album:1yAUc63KRf3DGBHLVBLpiP" data-name="Psychic Blues">Psychic Blues</a> (2020), a moodier, more introspective follow-up. Around this time, they collaborated with <a href="spotify:artist:0XBe3gfBWMKHDDL23n7LAb" data-name="Wendy Lane">Wendy Lane</a> (<a href="spotify:artist:1iCnM8foFssWlPRLfAbIwo" data-name="Gigi Perez">Gigi Perez</a>, Coco Mendez, Aidan Hobbs) on the single “<a href="spotify:album:4FWvrEjeHLw0GXoavtnL1x" data-name="Vertigo">Vertigo</a>.”
Surfliner continued gigging sporadically, but by 2025 the project reached a natural close. Their short but rich run left behind a sound both nostalgic and expansive—shaped by city adventures, coastal solitude and deep friendship.
