Introduction by The Butlers

Although The Butler’s sit in the surf rock genre more than most, their music goes much deeper, particularly on the debut album. ‘We're still pretty stumped on how to describe our sound, but there's definitely some pretty strong elements of Surf Rock in there. To be honest I can't really tell you how the sound was 'discovered' but once we decided to write and perform our own stuff it was all pretty clear between all of us that the genres we convey in our music were the ones we enjoy playing most and the ones that sound best. We've all got such different musical influences, which I guess translates to why we have heaps of genres threaded through the music, particularly in the new album. The surf rock sound I guess has something to do with us all being into surfing and living in a small suburb called Sumner where everyone loves to surf too.’
