1 year 5 months ago
Joe Bassa, lead singer of the alt-country band Surtsey, named the group after an island off the coast of Iceland, where Bassa was born. Surtsey — the place — is an uninhabited volcanic island with a unique ecosystem due to a lack of human impact. Surtsey — the band — exists within its own unique musical ecosystem, but it’s one created by vital human interaction.
